304 Promo!!

Yeah you guys are probably right, I was thinking of this:

https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/e-online-spoiler-chat-october-9-rumple-and-his-father/

They’ll probably just allude to his father in 304 but we won’t meet him.

I’m really happy that Rumple tells Nealfire he’s ready to die — hopefully Nealfire will see some good in his father for once 🙂 (Assuming the title “Nasty Habits” doesn’t mean Rumple starts to change his mind).

The plot is moving along at a speedy pace on Once Upon a Time Season 3, and we couldn’t be happier to see the action keep coming. Fortunately, based on the promo for Season 3, Episode 4: “Nasty Habits” things aren’t going to slow down next week.

What can we expect now that the gang in Neverland have made a tentative ally out of Tinker Bell and Neal has found his way to the world’s least hospitable island? We’ve picked over the promo to see what clues it reveals.

A map in the sky. The promo opens with the gang looking up a starry sky. “It’s a map,” Hook comments. “To where?” Charming wonders. “Home,” Emma replies with a smile. Question: Isn’t it a little early to think about heading home? We’re pretty sure there’s a certain lost son everyone should be trying to find…

The Lost Boys get their dance on. At :05, and then throughout the promo, the Lost Boys are doing something that looks like a war dance (or maybe just a for-fun dance?) while Peter Pan looks on because, let’s be real, Peter isn’t going to get up and start doing a jig. That would take away from his uber-creepy factor. He does, however, play an instrument at :14.

Attack? At :05 Neal pulls a crossbow on the Lost Boys, but Peter Pan seem to spot him, and looks at unimpressed. That’s followed by a shot of Charming saying it’s time to put their rescue mission into action, and everyone else getting prepared.

Rumple’s back! Also, he’s covered in war paint (amazing), and has some wise words: “You can only beat him if you’re willing to die, which I am.”

Rumple and Nealfire reunited? It kind of looks like Rumple is talking to Nealfire in that scene. Are they reunited? It certainly looks like it at :18, where they appear to be doing some father-son spear throwing. Sounds like a normal bonding activity to us.

Snow finds out about Charming’s wound! And, no, she’s not happy about it. “If you die, I would not be able to move on,” she declares to her husband at :16. Welp, good thing he’s a main character on a family friendly TV show, then. We have a feeling he’ll find a cure.

“There is no escaping Neverland.” Or so Peter angrily tells Nealfire at the end of the promo.

Did anybody notice the markings on the cave at the beginning? I froze it at the :02 mark to see the group standing there and behind Hook on the wall (guessing a cave wall?) are the letters P and J. Any thoughts?

Thoughts that spring to mind: initials of lost boys (Peter, John if ever got there, and probably more markings further along the wall for others); or Peter and Jane Darling (Wendy’s daughter in the stories).

Either way I thought the markings were interesting and hopefully we see more in the episode of the cave. I’m curious about that map cause I didn’t see anything interesting in it yet but in freeze-framing I found the letters. Can’t wait for the episode! This season has been amazing so far!

I dunno whether or not to believe that Snow discovers Charming’s injury. It just seems SO obvious in the promo, that I think it can’t be the case, and maybe there’ll be some other conversation that leads to her saying that, which ends up strengthening his resolve to keep it a secret, because Snow needs to keep “moving on” right now to find Henry.
