Unlike Rumple’s relationship with Neal, which was tenuous because of Rumple’s quest for power, Malcolm really doesn’t want to have anything to do with his son. “The boy’s a kind of tagalong,” Carlyle explains. “You find him hanging outside the bar waiting for his father to come out.”

Poor little Rumple! That sounds an awful lot like when Bae would mope around while his mom, Milha, was out at the local tavern flirting with men, neglecting her status as a wife and mother. Something must happen such that Neal learns more about his dad’s relationship with his granddad Malcolm. Could it be Neal discovers from Rumple that PP is none other than his grandpa?

“The father only cares about himself, and he’s a selfish guy. Rumple’s father has the gift of the gab. He’s certainly a gregarious kind of guy; friends of everyone and probably no one. He’s a trickster. He’s a hopeless gambler. So he’s really not someone who is usually fitted for parenting.”

Sounds a lot like Peter Pan, doesn’t it?

Yes it does! I now think PP is DaddyPan (aka Malcolm).
