As for Neal running…might not be her voice that tipped him…like Gold tells Henry later…his son is adept at running…as much as Emma knows how to spot someone who is hiding…Neal probably knows how to recognize when he’s being tracked.
Based on this spoiler tweet, I’d say Baelfire has been on the run long before Emma ever buzzed his intercom. He is running not from her but from his father. Also, Baelfire is a thief and on the wrong side of the law. He always has to watch his back and be hyper vigilant. If someone shows up unannounced at his door, he’s not going to stick around for very long. I posted a theory here about my thoughts on the matter: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=2806&start=10#p38542
Then again he stayed away from Emma and Storybrook for some reason or another…I guess it could be Emma just as well as Gold. I think I am dreading this episode as much as looking forward to it…really still haven’t recovered from the events in The Outsider and In the Name of the Brother and now another emotional nail biter…I’ll probably be looking for that funny line from Charming as much as anything else just so I can make it through
I think the reason Neal stayed away from SB isn’t so much because of Emma. I think it’s because he wanted to avoid a run-in with his dear papa.
