I had an epiphany this afternoon that this is going to come back to haunt her. If Neal dies, then how can she not remember her words? I can see her being full of regret and love – and despair – and I think that it will curtail any relationship she has with Hook (at least for awhile).
She wished Neal were dead so she wouldn’t have to deal with past issues, but I think eventually the lesson will be that you can’t avoid the past, it has to be dealt with. She loves Neal, there’s no doubt – and I just see this as part of her journey (oh, what might have been).
