So you’re suggesting that Rumple knew Emma and Nealfire have a history?
Yes, that is what I’m suggesting. I think that part of the prophesy that the seer tells pre-dark Rumple is that he’d have a son, he’d lose that son, but then a savior would reunite them. I doubt Rumple knows the entire story though like Henry is Neal’s son.
Also, the fact that Nealfire has been running for a long time might lend some credence to the idea that he is Nealfire Pan and was in Neverland for quite some time and is recently in our world: like 28 years recent.
Yes! I was hesitant to bring up this theory here since it’s been posted in other threads, but I agree with you. Neal being on the run really does fit in nicely with him being Peter Pan. A hint in this direction is from season 1 when Emma told Henry in 1×9 “True North” that his dad really liked pumpkin pie (think Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater nursery rhyme) and why Emma really wanted her code name to be “pumpkin” in 1×4 (not my theory, but I really like it). I’m not saying that Emma knows any of this, because really, before she came to SB, fairytales were all make-believe to her, but they were likely clues from the producers/writers to us about the true identity of Henry’s father.
