Good point. I don’t want an instant happy ending for Rumple, either (as much as I hate to admit it, being an obsessed Dearie.) I still think they could do a lot with a young-ish Baelfire though, seeing as Rumple brought magic to SB and obviously Bae will NOT be pleased about that. Also young Baelfire could have pretty interesting interactions with the Blue Fairy, Hook, and of course, Belle. And Henry! But anyways, Neal is probably Bae, so like I said…I’m just hoping against hope. 😉 I do hope they bring back Dylan in flashbacks, though.
On a related note, does anyone else think this show needs more kids? Just a few more like they had in Season 1, because it might help relate the stories to the younger audience watching the show with their parents. Henry’s fantastic – but what about Grace, or Hansel and Gretel? (shrug)
