Could it be possible that Rumple has some way of knowing that Neal is still alive. How else could he have know that Neal survived over 250 years? Maybe thats how they know to go searching for him.
Did the globe that Cora gave Rumple show our world BEFORE Rumple dropped his blood on to it? Because if it could show any world, Rumple could use it to find Bae again.
Great points! I have also long wondered how Rumple knew a mortal like Bae survived 250 years, since Rumple presumably thought Bae was in A A Land Without Magic for that entire duration, rather than NL. But, just maybe, Rumple knew Bae was in NL all along.
