I’ve never been on board with Neal getting Monkey-fied because I’ve been thinking that Walsh was a unique case, and not every monkey can transform between human and monkey, I’ve been thinking that once you go monkey, you never go back, so Little John is pretty much screwed. Emma’s not acting here like she’s discovered Neal yet, and we know there’s a scene with them, which I’ve been thinking IS their first meeting, where he’s very much human. So I may be totally wrong (it’s been known to happen once or twice LOL) but I’ll be surprised if that monkey is Neal.
