Neal and Emma have had a few heartbreaking conversations, but then as always they were parted. They gotta be in one room long enough to talk!

Tell me about it! Emma was on her way to have that lunch date with Neal when that plan got side-railed due to Peter Pan. I just hope Neal didn’t mistake Emma’s being sidetracked as reason to leave her alone. Based on his determination in 3×12 to return to her and Henry though, I’d say he realized why Emma didn’t show wasn’t because of him, but because of her concern for their son. I take it as a good sign that Emma and Neal’s lunch was cut short, because the longer they drag that out, the more certain I am that once they finally do talk in depth alone, they’ll finally be on their way to resolving a lot of their issues. And that could cause them to reconcile and perhaps even to give it another go romantically. The writers have to drag out the unresolved issues between Emma and Neal for as long as possible (by adding a curse, throwing in a fake fiancé, putting in a pining pirate), so as to prolong the will-they-or-won’t-they drama that is the love story between Emma and Neal.
