I also think TIME will be a very important factor for MAP and Neil, as Neil is hurt pretty badly. Will def be a close-call situation and he will need to find a healer/doctor/or daddy asap.
Before SOTM aired, most of us knew MAP would find Neal (gotta love spoilers) but a lot of us thought it would be in the beginning of the episode and that Mulan would heal him with the waters of Lake Nostos. I still think that could happen, but that it won’t heal him all the way. It might keep him from dying, but I think you’re right: giving Belle and MAP something to do in FTL to save Neal would make Belle’s adventure in FTL less one dimensional.
