Vw Bug Cookies. That seems like a SwanFire Cookie right?Pan’s games are a test I think–can she get Henry to want to come back to the person she becomes in trying to rescue him? Rumple might take a darker path that Henry would not approve, so Emma has to risk making that mistake, by walking the dark road.. I hope Neal can get back and help light the way for her.

So I’ve been thinking about that VW bug with those cute cookie picture. That swanfire pendant necklace isn’t the only thing of Neal’s that Emma kept that he gave her. They met in the car. They probably lived in it. It was, for a time, their home.
That was the dream Emma and Neal had, to find Tallahassee. That was what Emma and Neal saw not as a fairytale happy ending, but a happy life together–a home.
Emma’s poster isn’t, believe she can find her son, or a true love, or parents, or to be the Savior and hope again for others.
This season, Emma’s arc is to find her home. Too bad the VW didn’t fit in NL, but she does have Neal’s sword.
That is the same thing that has motivated Neal too. That is a theme I see in their love story–to find home with each other.

Neal actually implies that they think of the Bug is “home”…
Emma: It’s a Native American dream catcher. It’s supposed to keep all the nightmares out, and only let the good dreams in to protect your home.
Neal: It’s flypaper for nightmares?
Emma: Mmhmm.
Neal: Let’s keep it.
Emma: Yeah, hang it where? The car?
Neal: It’s not much of a home. Maybe it’s time we get a real place.
And let’s not forget the next part of the scene too…
Emma: Are you saying…
Neal: Why not? We’ve been on the road long enough, baby. It’s time we retire the Bonnie and Clyde act. So, I think… I think it’s time.
Emma: Together?
Neal: Don’t you want to?
Emma: Like where? Neverland?
Neal: I’m serious. We could do this.
They’re gonna do it, together, in Neverland…foreshadowing much?!

GAH! Lovely. Neverland is where home re-begins for them, looking for their child.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Haha. He never contradicts her. 😛
One of my biggest disappointments in Season two was that we never got Neal’s reaction to Emma still driving the Bug. I really wanted to see his reaction and it just never came. He had to have seen it in town. That kind of car sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe once everyone is back in Storybrooke, we’ll have a conversation about it.

^^^AHHHH, I wanted to see that conversation too! That’s right up there with Neal giving Emma the swan key chain back as something that absolutely has to happen between them at some point. 😀
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI too wish that we’d gotten his reaction to seeing the Bug in SB! But I guess from the point of the dynamic they were trying to set up between Emma/Neal/Tamara, they couldn’t really show him getting excited over her still having their Bug. They had to show him as being reluctant to just give in to believing Emma about Tamara, and if they’d showed him as being affected by the Bug in a way that he was getting emo over Emma again, that woulda thrown off the whole thing they were trying to portray with him clinging to the belief and hope that Tamara wasn’t playing him.
Very true, Phee. Although, deep down I bet he did have those feelings upon seeing that car. She kept it all those years. I wonder how affected he was at seeing it.
I do hope at some point they do talk about it. Like RG said in chat, no matter who Emma ends up with, those two need to sit down and have a serious conversation about everything. And they’ll we’ll all collapse of feels.

Raise your hand if you’re excited for 303.
