Neal Cassidy gave up the love of his life so she could break a curse and find her parents.
And when all was said and done, she lost her parents and will be lost to him for “forever.”
Excuse me while I go cry.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I have a heavy heart having watched 3×11 again. My heart broke so many times all over again. It’s harder being the audience and knowing what Emma gave up when she left SB. At least Emma got cursed with good memories of a life spent with her son. What do we get? The knowledge of what Emma and Neal lost: each other and their parents. It makes the ending of “Save Henry” that much more unbearable to re-watch of Emma and Neal finding their parents, their son and each other only to have it all stripped away again (except at least Emma gets to have Henry this time). Oh gosh the feels! Emma and Neal are both lost children again. *crying!* From Tumblr

Keeping hope alive! http://eevylynn.tumblr.com/post/70222033315/lana-ny-onceuponatime-confessions-neal-wasOMG. THIS CONFESSION FOR ALL THINGS. ALL OF THEM.
So I wanna go back to this because of the accuracy.
Neal is very “look. we’ve gotten through other stuff. this isn’t over. I believe in you. I am going to see you and our son again. No fear, no regrets. Keep him safe.”
Hook was all “look how much I love you! I shall make wild declarations of love that do nothing to help assuage your terrible feelings over how all this going down! just notice me! did you notice the quip I made too? Aren’t I funnY?!”

To be fair to Hook, humour can be a coping mechanism in depressing situations. The goodbye scene was the one time where I felt Hook was being genuine and wasn’t trying to seduce Emma. He has feelings for her and was saying goodbye.
Also Hook trying TLK and it not working on Emma, doesn’t necessarily mean anything. Since we’ve seen both Charming and Rumple try TLK on their respective true loves at one point and it didn’t work.
Because this post sounds a little too pro-CS, I would just like to point out that I don’t think CS would work out long term.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixAgree with that completely.
I got an interesting vibe from Neal in this episode. I can’t quantify it, but it was almost like he already had a plan. Might take him a bit, but he was going to see them again. He didn’t even doubt it. Or Emma. (I’d expect nothing less; Neal’s nothing if not resourceful. How many worlds did he adapt to living in? Can’t have been easy, ever.)
And oddly, I think it applies to his father too. For some bizarre reason, I think he might have an inkling that what happened to Rumple isn’t what it appears. And he’s going to find him, too.

“Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.”
-- Dylan ThomasSlurpeez–wonderful gifset with the parental advice to hope–and especially with the one Astawoid listed about how Neal was the only one to express hope he’s see Emma and Henry again.
Yet as I said, I still feel the writers missed the opportunity to explain and move the mythology forward of how certain things happened, or to expand on some natural progression for Belle and Neal’s characters.
I also wondered about the Darlings. I kind of wonder, except that I suppose the point is Emma wouldn’t have memories, so couldn’t really contact them for anything. They can’t go”home” unless they can travel through time, or else, go to Alice’s world which might be somewhat close to their own?
Did anyone tweet Adam about them?

I was also okay with the parting scene between Hook and Emma. I didn’t mind that Hook tried to make light of a very tragic situation or that he expressed how he’d think of her each days. I think that scene was interesting because Emma wasn’t even going to say goodbye to Hook until her sought her out. It gives me the impression it’s very one-sided at the moment, whereas Emma did intentionally say goodbye to Neal. To me that read as Emma putting Neal up high on her priority list of who to say goodbye to, whereas with Hook, Emma wasn’t even going to wave to him? Hook might as well be Archie or the Blue Fairy in terms of meaning something to Emma (as in not very much). Hook just seemed way more into Emma than she was into him.

I am peeved at the number of unanswered questions
I also wondered about the Darlings
What about Ariel?

You’re right. I wasn’t trying to belittle Hook. I got a little…frustrated. *sigh*
