I think that’s a really good point Luna. The second chance with Rumple implies that Neal is the one who did something wrong and must ask Rumple to give him a second chance. But it’s the other way around. So yes, I think we could take Rumple out of the equation.
Neal said it himself in 303: “You gotta understand–this is my second chance,” referring to Henry and Emma.
