slurpeez, your theory from several pages back is made of WIN. Seriously, the plot point of a letter being left in the hope of changing events so someone’s life can be saved in the future is such a major plot point in BTTF that I’ll honestly be a bit surprised if they don’t use it on the show. If Hook’s the one to write the letter, it’d be a full circle moment from Neal sending him the dove note. It would show him attempting to SAVE the kid as redemption for having given him up in NL. It would prove that he’s genuinely over the vendetta against Rumple if he sneaks him a note to genuinely help him in the future. I can just imagine Rumple tearing up a letter from Hook the same way Doc tore up Marty’s letter, only to stick it back together later and take the precautions to prevent the death. GAH, it would all work so beautifully, if only I could trust that the writers really might do it. *sigh*
