As for Mr Gold – nah, no way this was because of Bae. If it was, he would’ve been kind to Henry before as well, not just in this particular moment (unless he found out about Neal??? ). If you listen to what he’s actually saying while giving the gift to Henry:
Actually, Mr. Gold has been polite to Henry in the past. In “The Return,” Henry wanders into Mr. Gold’s shop and Mr. Gold is quite sweet with him. So, we’ve seen Mr. Gold treat Henry with kindness before.
And like others have said, I’m almost certain that Neal will turn out to be Bae, and this particular scene was just a set up to progress a possible relationship between Gold and Henry.
