I do wonder whether they’re going to extend an invitation to Rumple, since he’s not exactly a safe person either, though I think he was more dangerous in FTL for reasons.
He is family now. He’s Henry’s other grandfather, so I don’t think they’ll exclude him. But they may offer him some sort of deal. Or maybe Charming’s favor comes into play: “you can return to us, but you have to protect our family.”
I think that favor will come into play later, and I agree Prince Charming might use it to save his family. Of course, I think by the end, Regina will realize on her own that she can’t kill Henry’s family, because she would forever sever her relationship with Henry. (Even just having that conversation with Henry crossed a dark line). Yet, I think Regina might be willing to lay her differences aside with Emma and the rest of the clan if Henry’s life is at stake and that Tamara is the real danger. We know it is when Tamara and Greg kidnaps Henry to another realm in the finale. Plus, I think Rumple will be prompted to go after Neal, since something tragic happens to him in 2×21.
