Thank you Phee! (And it’s perfectly acceptable to disagree as long as we aren’t disagreeable about it) 🙂

I completely understand what you mean about the happy dance. I was thrilled when NealFire implied he had been to Neverland…and then I noticed the wording. *Cringes* He said “This wasn’t my first stop”….everybody has been complaining about the fact that he was supposed to come here first (we really need to see where he ended up and how / why? Maybe the bean portal lost it’s direction once Rumple let go since it was intended for him?) and I spent weeks / months defending that Peter was in our world for a time and still managed to go to Neverland and back from there and probably just got stuck in our world when the curse struck and then aged. So of course NealFire has to basically say he went straight there. *Smacks forehead*

Interesting. I vaguely recalled something about a British accent but wasn’t sure who it definitely connected to. The only issue I have with anything relating to her being a FTL or involved in it and Neal knowing…is that he wasn’t happy to learn that Emma was part of that world. He basically said once he knew that he was done, he didn’t want to go where his father was, but he wanted Emma to find her home / family. He knew that’s what she always wanted and knew that she was the Savior and was needed elsewhere. He clearly wasn’t thrilled about her connection to the life he’s been avoiding for centuries so I would be very surprised if he knew about whoever Tamara is. It would make more sense if it was Wendy as she wouldn’t have come from there originally but would know some things. The biggest question is the time gap. Wendy could have gone to Neverland whenever and spent time there with him, not an issue, but…

…why didn’t he bring her back with him? Or if he did, why did they separate? Was this before the Emma thing? (Presumably so). And how long have they been together this time? Sooo many questions if she is a FTL character but I’d like to think she’s something more than just a random plot device to keep them apart. Even Abigail’s story was alluding to a rare fairy tale (Catherine & Frederick) rather than just having Kathryn be a plot device to keep Snowing apart. So I’d reallly like to think there’s more to Tamara than meets the eye. Otherwise the triangle would still be in place for Neal Emma Hook…now it’s a square throwing Tamara in there. Not only does Emma have her choice of men, she now has her choice of triangles! *smacks forehead again*
