I’ve posted this theory around the forum in a few different threads, but I decided it was time to just lay it all out in one place. This is how I believe the Stiltskin clan (Rumple, Bae and Belle) will be reunited in Season Three.
Let’s start with a few things we know, the location of each of the characters in our little drama.
1) Rumple: the Jolly Roger, headed toward Neverland
2) Belle: Storybrooke
3) Nealfire: FTL (yes, I believe he is in FTL with MAP)Also, something else we learned in the finale is that Rumple has been to Neverland before. Now why would he have gone to NL? I believe the answer lies in the episode Into The Deep. Rumple tells Henry:
Mr. Gold: Yes, indeed a quill. And yet, it wasn’t the quill itself, but the ink that captured the Dark One – harvested from the rarest species of squid, from the bottom of a bottomless ocean. Impossible to find, unless, you’re a mermaid… Or me. I happen to have a private supply. In my jail cell… That is where they will find it.
I believe in Rumple went to NL to find squid ink and he used a certain Little Mermaid to do it. Now Rumple implies that he himself got the squid ink, but this Rumple we’re talking about. I think it’s far more likely that he struck a bargain with a mermaid. What could he trade for the ink?
Recall that in the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast there was a magic mirror
This mirror has the power to let the looker see anyone they chose. What if there were two? Rumple traded one mirror to the mermaid for squid ink. Mermaids are often depicted as rather vain creatures, remember the sisters in The Little Mermaid? Constantly doing their hair? I bet a mermaid would like a nice mirror.
Now, the next part of this theory: how Rumple finds out that Nealfire is alive. We know that people who have undergone sleeping curses travel to the Red Room during nightmares. Thus far Charming, Snow, Henry and Aurora have undergone sleeping curses. How nice that Neal ended up with one of those people! Charming or Snow at some point will have a return trip to the Red Room where they will meet Aurora. She will inform them that Nealfire is with her and Mulan/Philip.
This will cause a small dilemma. Rumple will want to go after his son, naturally. But that’s not what Nealfire would want. He would want Rumple to protect his grandson, Henry. BUT how nice that Rumple has his true love back in Storybrooke.
Like so many things in FTL, the other magic mirror ended up in Rumple’s shop. Rumple will remember this and the Jolly Roger crew will set off to make a deal with a mermaid.
What could they offer her? My guess is that she wants her home to be free of Peter Pan, a tyrant who hurts young boys. In exchange for letting Rumple use the mirror, she wants them to promise that they must rid the world of Peter and his Shadow. The other possibility is that there is something on Hook’s ship she wants. Hook’s ship, we have been told, has many wondrous things on it.
The mermaid agrees to the trade and Rumple uses the mirror to contact Belle. But how does Belle get to FTL? In my mind there are two options:
1) The Hat. Jefferson’s hat was killed by Charming, but Emma’s hat from Hat Trick is still in her car.
2) The bean plant Regina grew is still very much alive.I think #2 is more likely. Belle takes two newly grown beans (perhaps magically quickly grown by our favorite Plot Device) and uses the first one to get to FTL. She and Bae spend a day or two in FTL (where she tells him all about what a good man Rumple really is) and then they use the second bean to get to NL.
Reunion. Tear. Cookies.

Absolutely. He could tell Aurora to tell Snow/Charming where he is. I guess my focus was more on Bae at this point but yes I think we’ll see the Red Room and the dreams a few times in S3.

Maybe they all could meet in the Red Room and have a mini-reunion.
"We were happy."
"Because... it was born out of true love."I really really like your theory RG. Very well thought out and I think it could definitely work.
"We were happy."
"Because... it was born out of true love."I bet there will be this tension where Henry knows Neal is alive but the others do not or do not believe him. I think it is most likely that Aurora has the poppy to get a deep sleep but Snow does not. Henry is somewhere scary & a kid. So Snow may not be able to contact Henry that way, but if they do it will get cut off (maybe PP minions figure out what Henry is doing).
But I like the theory!

Thanks. And it could be Charming, he’s been under a sleeping curse more recently than Snow.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I would love an episode with all three Stiltskin men. (Rumple, Bea, Henry) maybe separated from everyone else and having to survive for maybe and episode or two. That would be awesome!
That would have lots of tension. 😕I think maybe Mulan and Aurora and Prince Phillip will help Bae get back to Storybrooke and that it will be Belle who finds out he is still alive first and not Rumple. Then Bae and Belle will try to find Rumple. Snow only goes to the red room under a very deep sleep, and by this time, the same may be true of Aurora.

Ok, playing off your idea: how do MAP get Nealfire back to SB? Most likely a portal and as far as we know, they don’t have any beans or hats. Lake Nostos might still be active, but they don’t have ashes or the compass.
