I would love a flashback of something like this. Bae doesn’t seem to be surprised that his father has been looking for him.

There is a theory floating around many parts of this forum that suggest that while Bae was in NL, Rumple showed up looking for the squid ink he would use to write Emma’s name over and over. Bae saw him and guessed that Rumple was still the Dark One and hadn’t given up searching for him yet and also hadn’t given up his magic. This is want prompts Bae to really try and flee NL.

Glad to see other people climbing aboard the Hookriel ship. It’s not very crowded right now, and probably doesn’t have much of chance, but the possibility is out there. As for Ariel, I hope they go the route of the original and her Prince marries someone else and she’s now banished, or punished, to Neverland. Hook lost his love and Ariel lost hers. It would be a great twist if Captain Hook ends up with The Little Mermaid. Eddy and Adam are just perverse enough to do it.

I think Rumple’s been to Neverland, also. The comment about the squid ink is just too much to ignore. I also keep going back to him telling (I think Emma) that his son has experience running. It just seems to me that Rumple may have had a close call in the past to finding Bae.

I think Neal will be trying to find his way back to Srorybrooke. Maybe the burning room will come up again. That’s a great theory. I think somehow he’s going to find out Henry’s captured and have to confront Peter Pan once again, just like he did as a teenager.

I agree about the final battle of the season between Neal and PP. The good guys will of course be helping out but it will be PP vs. Neal (and Rumple and probably Hook to get the original story in there).

Hey Everyone I know it’s been awhile since I posted on the board, I have been extremely busy with school. I just gotta say first I love the theories being posted and I can’t wait until season 3 premieres. This is already proving to be a long summer.

Here are my thoughts

I think the burning red room will be seen again I suspect that Auroua, Henry, David and Snow will be the ones to access it considering they are the ones who have been under a sleeping curse. I believe this will be how both Emma and Rumple learn that Neal is indeed alive and where he is, and that this will also be how they learn where Henry is being kept.

I think Neal’s first priority once he is healed which I believe will be because of the waters of Lake Nostros will be to find a way to get back to Storybrooke to Emma & Henry. I think he will learn from Auroua that Henry is in Neverland and that Emma, Rumple, Snow, Charming, Regina and Hook are all on the Jolly Roger in Neverland searching for Henry and Peter Pan. I believe once Neal discovers that Greg & Tamara kidnapped his & Emma’s son and took him to Neverland for Peter Pan he will with the help of MAP find a way to get there and meet up with everyone on the Jolly Roger, His reunion with Emma and Rumple will be a brief one because they will all be focused on saving Henry from Peter Pan, Greg and Tamara.

I don’t believe for a second that Henry is Rumple’s undoing, in fact I believe Henry being in danger from Peter Pan is what will ultimately reunite Rumple & Neal as they are forced to work together along with Hook, Emma, Snow, Charming, Regina. I think this will allow Neal to see just how much his father has truly changed. I believe it will be Peter Pan who will be Rumple’s undoing but not in the way that Rumple assumes.

I think the final battle with Peter over Henry and their escape from Neverland will be between Rumple, Neal, Emma, Regina, Charming, Snow, Hook, Ariel and Tinkerbell going up against Peter Pan, his shadow, the lost boys, Greg & Tamara. I believe that it will be Neal, Emma, Rumple and Henry who will stop Pan and free Neverland and the lost boys. I believe it will be Regina, Hook, Snow and Charming who will bring Greg ^

I do believe that Rumple has tangled with Peter Pan before at least that is what I got out if the ending of the season finale when Hood & Rumple shared that look after Hook said they had taken Henry to Neverland and Rumple said Greg & Tamara are merely pawns manipulated by forces far greater then they can concieve When Emma asked”Who’s that” Rumple replied “Someone we all should fear”

I think Neal was somehow able to defeat Peter Pan possibly with the help of Hook and Ariel maybe Tinkerbell which is how he was able to get out of Neverland and make it to our world the land without magic. I think it is very possible that Rumple did indeed go to Neverland for the squid ink and young Bae saw him there but hid and that Pan may have knew that Bae is the Dark One’s son and could have dangled that in front of Rumple. I suspect that whatever happened Rumple defeated Pan and that left him weak enough for Bae to defeat him as well enabling him to win his freedom escape from Neverland. I’m guessing all that had to have been done maybe in a 30 year period before Regina casted the dark curse on the Enchanted Forest because that would fit with the timeline of when Hook & Cora met and they protected that little part of the land from Regina’s curse, which gives time for Emma to be born and her and August sent through the wardrobe and grow up, Neal to make it to our world and grow up and for them to meet.

I suspect that it will be Neal, Emma, Henry, Rumple, Regina, Snow, Charming, Hook, Ariel and Tinkerbell who will ultimately defeat Peter Pan, His Shadow, his Lost Boys and GOAT. I believe this will be done on two fronts Neal, Emma, Henry, Rumple stopping Peter Pan, his shadow. While on the other front it will be Regina, Snow, Charming, Hook, Ariel, Tinkerbell who will bring GOAT to justice for their crimes in Storybrooke and they will also defeat The Lost Boys clearing the path for Neal, Emma, Rumple to get to Henry and confront Peter Pan and his shadow but it will be a combined effort from four of them to defeat Pan and freeing the lost boys to leave Neverland.

I think once they finish what they came to do in Neverland that is when these alliances and truces between the Charmings & Regina and Hook & Rumple will start to fall apart as they try to figure out a way to either get back to Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest.

I think there will be a huge reunion for Emma & Neal and Henry but the biggest reunion will be between Rumple and Belle in Storybrooke

As for Storybrooke we know Rumple and Charming left Belle in charge of protecting the town but I think there will be a combined effort from Belle, The Dwarves, The Blue Fairy, Granny, Red, Archie, Tiny to protect Storybrooke from someone like King George who we know is still alive somewhere in Storybrooke

You know…I was just thinking about the red room. I had been wondering how this might come into play again as a way to communicate as some of you have suggested. How’s this for an idea:

After Neal wakes up, Mulan and Aurora discover who he is. Aurora asks Mulan to put her to sleep with the poppies to see if she can connect either Snow or Henry. Meanwhile, Henry gets drugged or otherwise put out by Greg and Tamara, sending him into a deep enough slumber for him to reach the red room, and he and Aurora are able to talk. Neal finds out what happened and is determined to rescue his son. Henry discovers his dad is alive. Neither of them know about the gang on the Jolly Roger so Neal tries to get back to Storybrooke to alert Emma, hence crossing paths with Belle. How he gets there or communicates, I’m not sure.

I like that, AngieBelle.

Only question is how on Earth is Nealfire gonna get out of FTL, because given how much drama Emma and Snow had to go through to find a way, it’d be a bit ridiculous if another portal option just magically pops up.

That’s why I like the theory of them using the plant from Regina’s office to re-grow beans and then Belle uses them to get to Nealfire. I’d be surprised if they didn’t take the opportunity to have Belle reunited with Mulan and Phillip. Why bother to establish that they’d all met before if it wasn’t gonna pay off now?

If Belle has beans, and doesn’t know where Rumple went, she’d likely start by looking in FTL. So she could get there, find MAP and Nealfire, learn that Henry was kidnapped to NL meaning that that’s where the JR went, then she and Nealfire head off there, using another bean, (I’m assuming Belle takes several of them with her, not knowing how many worlds she may need to hop through in order to find Rumple).

[kfchimera]

I like that Phee. They said there were no beans left, but they did show us a very healthy and large looking bean plant in Regina’s office. Kind of stands to reason Anton could graft another plant but it would just take time, so that Belle cannot immediately go after the others. It would have to be after several episodes. I think it took half the season last time, so maybe she will have working beans by the mid-winter break. I kind of think also that if they totally get rid of the beans, they don’t have an excuse to pop Anton into the story again. We should totally see Tiny again. Perhaps he and Grumpy will agree to go with Belle to look for the others.

[angiebelle]

Hmmm…that could work- provided Henry knows where he has been taken! I do like the idea of Belle reuniting with Mulan and Phillipe. The beans are the only way I know of so far to travel between worlds. We do know that the shadow can go between our world and Neverland though.

Do you think Belle would just automatically go to find Rumple with no lead on where he may have gone though? I still think she may take a leadership position in the town with everyone else gone.

[orza]

Yes, I also think the bean plant in Regina’s office will come back into play, producing more beans that Belle will use to go on a quest to discover what happened to Nealfire and find Rumple. Belle also has free run of the shop and access to all the magical things in it. I bet Belle tries out more magic after casting the cloaking spell.
