SOOOO…do they take Neal's body on the JR? Do they suddenly suspect that he is not truly dead and going to NL is both to save Henry AND to find Neal's spirit? Because the alternative is that they leave his body behind in SB where we think the fail safe is going to go off.
Okay. I had a moment to think of a possible scenario. Everyone thinks Neal is dead, but Emma and Snow remember that Mulan and Aurora heard from Cora that they could rescue Philip's soul. They make sure Neal's body is taken care of, and it doesn't decay, since he's not really dead. The failsafe trigger gets activated, and everyone races out of a vanishing SB via the magical beans. However, instead of killing everyone, the rest of SB residants get sent back to the EF. In S3, Neal's soul is reunited with his body. Crazy, I know.
I like it but something is going to have to be “off” about the death in order for them to think that there is more to his “death.” like it has to be a magical death in order for them think there is a possibility that he is “alive” which makes me think that his death has something to do with the fail-safe. That part of the consequence of him trying to turn off the failsafe is that his spirit is taken to FTL
