I think a brother in the spinsters is what I prefer, but bio brother might explain why he needs Henry–he needed his bloodline but maybe Bae was too disillusioned to work?

I’ve also wondered if Pan is not even Rumple’s father. We all know Rumple has the capability of turning back time as he’s offered to do so for both Smee & Neal. Why wouldn’t Pan or NL have the same magical capabilities? Initially, they filmed Colin as running away from debtors and being murdered. They axed that. But, what if Colin were poisoned with nightshade and was healed with waters from the healing spring and now forced to stay in NL? What if Colin, haven’t felt so overwhelmed & burdened with the responsibilities of parenting, wished that he had never grown up and turned back the clock? Pan has kept Rumple’s childhood doll; when Pan and Rumple first meet, Pan calls him “laddie” (spl??). Certainly implies an older man talking to a much younger man. They know so much about each other’s past. Now we’ve got Pan cooking up Rumple’s favourite breakfast. Their scenes are just gushing with so much familiarity between them. So, I’m torn between brothers or father and son.

I am completely torn with the possibilities:
1. Pan and Rumple are brothers.
2. To say the truth I did first think that Pan could be Rumplestiltskin’s father.
But know after last night’s episode the fact that Rumple said that Pan can only die if he dies and the conversation with Pan. Pan said Rumple cannot see the future because time is frozen and Rumple saying “not if he creates it” makes me think that Pan might be some extension of him that he created as a child that maybe was corrupted by some evil. An imaginary friend if you will. Maybe Pan wants Henry because he being Rumple ‘s grandchild he has inherited a gift from him of creation.
I think PP could be Rumple’s STEP-brother or another kid at the spinsters. If Rumple’s father married PP’s mother, PP may not have liked having to share his mother with young Rumple, he saw Rumple as the interloper. Likewise at the spinsters, if Rumple became the spinster’s favourite, then PP would have resented that he was no longer the favourite. He may have felt he was being replaced.

Keeper of FelixI felt there was a theme of replacing, in the cave confessions, and in the Shadow talking to Rumple. I think PP is an older brother who resented his younger brother being born like in the Pan origination story. I’ve come around to the brothers theory team I guess. Maybe Rumple’s mommy died at his birth and Pan resented him for it.
