Charmings vs Stiltskins vs Mills: Family Dynamics

[RumplesGirl]

Great post… I’d add that Neal did choose to abandon Emma based on Pinocchio’s warning and wound up abandoning Henry (even though he did not realize it). I think that is part of the reason why Neal fights so hard for Henry, because as much as he didn’t want to be like his dad, he inadvertently did the same thing – abandoned his son for the sake of magic (in this case breaking the curse).

And of course Rumple fought so hard to find Bae and ask his forgiveness because he realizes that he did the same thing as his papa.

They staged the scene where Malcolm lets go of YoungRumple’s hand really well. Perfectly paralleled to Rumple letting go of Bae’s hand in “The Return”

What’s worth noting is that not just Neal but Gold as well choosing to redeem his sins by remaining faithful to the cause and saving his grandson. I almost wonder if the pure nature of Henry’s sacrifice will not only redeem Gold and Neal but also his grandfather as well?

I am really interested to see how the PP story plays out. Does MalcolmPan get redeemed?

I don’t know if he’d get more than a Cora style redemption in death, a sort of realization that he’d been going about his life the wrong way.
