It’s true that the “second chance” theme could also apply to Neal and Rumple’s relationship, but yeah, like you say, the “second chance” dialogue we’ve had from Neal has been in reference to his desire to have another chance with Emma, (and also to be there for Henry). And like I said in a previous post, the timing of the release of this pic, if it was actually calculated, I think suggests that it’s meant to be in reference to Emma. If it was in part reference to Rumple, it likely would have been released after the ep where Neal left Rumple alone in the jungle, and went off to find Emma. Instead, we got it right after we saw the ep where Neal now believes that hope is lost for him and Emma.
Excellent point. Or it could have been released after 309 but before 310 when PapaStiltskin and Son had their moment
Just a few days to go!
