What if the change was that Rumpel went with Bae, then Pan dropped Bae off in the EF, in time for him to meet Emma? Quo
This makes perfext sense. The only reason Bae was centuries old was because he was in neverland. Rump would be dead but not him.
Except like i said before, Bobby filmed as DO in EF, maybe Henry here is Snowing son, also highly doubt Bae/Neal is even mentioned, or even exists or existed in this AU, and if is mentioned, i coul see them say that Belle and Rumple had a son and Rumple now wants to use Emma to cast the curse to bring him to this world to find Bae. But then again, this is a fake Au, so they can make Henry Emma`s and someone else son, just like they did on S4 finale with RB baby.
