I’m almost positive he’ll join the others in 307. As for when he’ll actually arrive…303/304 feels too early to me, but spoilers for 303 do make it sound like it’s not gonna take forever for him to find a way to make a portal out of FTL. But I’ve been thinking that maybe if we’re gonna see Ariel realm jump from NL to SB in 306, perhaps that will be when we also see Neal realm jump from FTL to NL, and the two events might even be connected somehow.
Dunno that I want him hanging out with Rumple. I think it might have more of an impact if the first time Neal sees his father in NL, it’s when the storyline is about the climax, because I’m guessing Rumple will be pretty out of his mind by that point, so there’d be more shock value for Neal to see him like that. I also think that if Rumple is hanging out with Neal, that may ground him a bit too much, and then he may not need the Belle vision as much, and we know we’re getting more Belle visions.
