Do you guys realize just how impossible it was for me not to scream while watching this epp? My roomates already think i’m crazy so i had to use breathing exercises to stop the feels from escaping.
1) Neal’s dreamcatcher
2) Neal’s closing his eyes (so much hurt) when he realized the curse was for reals and he would have to let Emma go because —> pure speculation from now on, bear with me!
> his dad had done something awful (I take it that August showed him the picture of the Dark One’s dagger)
3) He loves her. She loves him.
4) He doesn’t know about Henry. If he turns out to be Bae, then poor guy is likely to have a heart attack when he gets to SB?
1) I wonder if his bad dreams had something to do with Henry and Aurura’s or if it was a product of his dad abandoning him. I’m thinking it’s the latter. The other two were both under a sleeping curse with is the only connection i see but Bae had a lot of nightmare fuel in his life (i mean really, has anyone else seen his letter from untold stories? i rest my case)
2) Even if Augest didn’t know he was Bae, I think he would have to included that Rumple was the one to design the curse. I think that’s the only way Bae would have let her go. I mean no matter how much he believed in magic, it would take a lot for a guy to betray the girl he loves like that and get her sent to prison. If he knew that it all started with Rumple he would know what it was all about and he would do the brave and responsible thing and sacrifice his happiness to clean up his fathers mess.
3) Which makes it all the more tragic.
4) I could see him figuring it out pretty soon after he got there and not saying anything until Emma got back. I could see him getting into one helluva fight with August, because obviously Augeust knew more then he let on. I kind of have this mental picture of Neal confronting Emma and going “alright emma, if you don’t want me to say anything, i won’t” all dejected like because he knows that he’s the one that screwed up, even if it were for good intentions. And Emma almost breaking because of how hurt he is.
P.S. Lil’Red, i stole your GIF.
