They also said the season 2 finale would be a big gamechanger for Neal and Rumple. At first I thought that meant Neal would learn what happened to Milah and it really sour their relationship (which I think is going to improve a little after The Miller’s Daughter). Now I’m taking that theory and combining it with Phee’s. I suspect Hook and Neal aren’t exactly enemies. I think Hook is going to be a bit of a father figure to NealFire Pan. However, I also think they had a falling out. If young Bae, abandoned by his mother and father, suddenly lost his father figure in Hook because Hook at some point decides to go back to FTL and track down Rumple (and then get’s trapped with Cora like we all know) that could devastate young Bae. Yet another parental figure left him. But he’ll be more inclined to forgive Hook since he’s going to learn that Rumple killed Milah and by doing so ensured that someday Hook would leave Bae. It’s all too much for Bae and he joins team Hook.
I don’t think he will join hook but I am almost positive that’s where this story is going. That’s a very popular Peter Pan back story. But I don’t think he will join back up with Hook, that bridge is probably been burned for good. He clearly does not like the man since he wasn’t worried about leaving him in New York, a place he knows nothing about in a world he doesn’t understand with no way to get back.
