All this discussion about parents and grandparents have gotten me to visualize a precarious scenario for Henry.
Let’s say that Neil is Bae and also Henry’s father. This would make Rumple/Gold Henry’s grandfather. Neil/Bae’s reappearance will have a complicated relationship with both Rumple/Gold and Emma. We already know Snow and Charming are Emma’s parents, and Henry’s biological grandparents. Emma is of course, Henry’s biological mother. Cora, as Regina’s mother – who adopted Henry – thereby being legally Henry’s mother and now Cora is leagally Henry’s grandmother.

ergo:
Snow and Charming –> Emma

> Henry
Rumple/Gold

---

> Neil/Bae

---

> Henry
Cora

> Regina

> Henry

This would result in all 7 believing Henry belongs to him/her, resulting in many conflicts between all the adults seriously affecting Henry. This doesn’t account for Hook – who may consider Henry as a hostage to get to Rumple/Gold.

You are right on track…and there is a connection between Hook and Baelfire, if Baelfire is Neal like many of us believe. Baelfire’s mom became a pirate and hooked up with Hook. Which puts Hook in a type of step-father position to Baelfire…step-granfather position for Henry…like in the mini-series Neverland….where Hook was in love with Peter’s mother and was a father figure to Peter before there relationship fell apart. If Baelfire is Neal then Hook will look at Henry and see Milah’s grandson. That could be interesting. Makes me think of the movie Hook…where Hook goes after Peter Pan’s son.
