Didn’t someone figure out that the area of town it looked like his apartment was in is famous for having connections to The Mob? (Don’t quote me, coz I don’t remember the details, but I’m sure I saw it mentioned somewhere.)
Yeah! ^Exactly what I was thinking of when I mentioned he might be involved in something “shady” that might prevent him from going to Storybrooke right away. Of course, he might just be indecisive about starting up a relationship with Emma again, but there also might be something keeping him from Storybrooke for a while (although I hope not!)
