Reply To: Was Rumple a Lost Boy? (spoilers!)

I could barely even write the scenario out as a what if for me, and had to think of a movie characters to distance me, but that’s what I meant exactly Slurpeez and you put it so much better.

Also a good point about the names and the running thing.  I’d like there to be a reason August typed rather than said Baelfire.   It was just so silly dramatic.  Bae says his name to Wendy and to Hook.  A name is an obvious question to ask, but it also made it obvious that he was not yet using a false name.

So here’s a thought (pushing the weepy stuff away)–what if Rumpel can hear Baelfire’s name if it is said to or by Bae?  What happens if Neal wakes up in the FTL, introduces himself as Neal but at some later point reveals his original name, and that is when Rumpel realizes Bae is not dead?  Like right at a moment when Rumpel is about to do something suicidal to rescue Henry.
