There’s certainly a good argument for Neal and August having had enough in common to have been friends. I’m just not convinced that August spent much time, if any at all, in America, after splitting to Phuket. If not for that line of Regina’s that he looked familiar, I wouldn’t question it at all, and would think that he didn’t set foot on American soil from the time he left with Emma’s money, until the time he came back coz his leg started hurting.
If so, then the only time he could have met Neal in NYC was when he came back and was on his way to SB.
But if that wasn’t just a throwaway line from Regina, then there could have been another time in the past that August and Neal could have met up in NYC.
Unless her line was just meant to drop the hint that August was someone from FTL, in which case, we’re back to him potentially not having been in America since before Henry was born.
For now, I’m betting on this mystery scene being in ep18 and showing August checking in on Neal when he was on his way to SB. Making sure he knew where he was. Confirming the deal about sending a postcard. Giving him the heads up that the time was coming.

Looks like Neal and August have some catching up to do. They may have met again in the present day rather than in the past. Maybe August went to NYC after the curse was lifted rather than face everyone. He’d appear like a normal man to unbelievers of magic."That’s how you know you’ve really got a home.

Hopefully there is a scene with Emma, August, and Neal and a lot of explanation. I bet August stayed with Neal before he went back to SB. It took him a long time to get to SB from Pukhet. AND if August is partly responsible for getting Henry to SB, I wonder if August told Neal he has a son.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Eion has been confirmed to be filming scenes for 2×18:
EW has learned that Eion Bailey — who plays August/Pinocchio — is set to appear on the show’s 18th episode, titled “Selfless, Brave and True,” after mysteriously disappearing earlier this season. No official airdate for the episode has been set.
Here’s hoping we finally learn how a wooden guy waltzes out of his bedroom without being seen. (Magic?) http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/02/08/once-upon-a-time-scoop-eion-bailey-august-returning/

True, I guess he should be able to hide in plain sight…as long as he didn’t happen to run into anyone who believed in magic. That’s a risk he may not have been willing to take. I’m inclined to think he’s been hiding out in the convent ever since the curse broke.

Why would August be hiding? As far as I know he didn’t do anything bad for people to hate him (except with the Neal thing but Emma doesn’t know), and his father is looking for him. Wouldn’t he by dying to see his father again, I mean August even spent his last days with his father rather than make Emma remember.
August abandoned Emma for most of her life, when he was meant to look after her. That scene in The Stranger where he goes to Marco’s shop, and he spells out what an EPIC FAIL he’s been and how his father wouldn’t be proud of him, shows that he’s ashamed of his actions. Yes, Marco said that if he had a son, that stuff wouldn’t matter to him, but now that Marco remembers who he is, August may think that his opinion of him would have changed, so he may not be able to face him.
Also, there’s the whole deal with how Geppetto made Blue lie to the Charmings about the tree only taking one. There are lots of fans who want Geppetto to have to answer for that. Maybe August would feel that by hiding out, he’d be protecting his father from the truth coming out.

Totally agree…and again I see a parallel between August and Neal in this…August may not only feel guilt for not doing what he was supposed to do with Emma but he may feel responsible for Emma not being able to be with her parents all this time because he used the wardrobe instead of them…the same way that Neal (if Bae) may feel responsible for Emma not being able to be with her parents because he was the reason for the curse in the first place. August may be hiding and running from his past as much as Nealfire is…perhaps together…perhaps not…can’t wait to find out.
Get ready for a father-son reunion. Geppetto is back for August’s episode!
😥 Water works! I’m gonna need to stock up on tissues between this episode and Manhattan.
