Phew I hope u don’t mind I borrowed your collage of green
For my theory
Did anyone notice the wallpaper in the bedroom?
When I was watching this scene I had to pause it to look at the wallpaper because it looked like swans. When I paused it I noticed not only does it look like swans, but in the center of the design there is a flower that looks like Emma’s tattoo

I noticed a lot of bright green popping out at me in his apartment this time.
13 and the Grim reaper – It was Bae’s 14th birthday when Rumple became the Dark One, wasn’t it? So life as he knew it ended at 13.
Oh, oh, OH! After watching Disney’s “Peter Pan” with my boys for the first time in probably decades, I went and looked up some of the backstory on J.M. Barrie. Apparently, he based Peter Pan on his older brother …
… “who died in an ice-skating accident the day before he turned 14, and thus always stayed a young boy in his mother’s mind” …
π Interesting.

Please forgive me if this has already been said, but I’ve been looking at some info on the White Rabbit. I hate to copy and paste from Wikipedia, but here it is. Lewis Carroll meant the WR as a contrast to Alice, “For her ‘youth,’ ‘audacity,’ ‘vigour,’ and ‘swift directness of purpose,’ read ‘elderly,’ ‘timid,’ ‘feeble,’ and ‘nervously shilly-shallying,’ and you will get something of what I meant him (the WR) to be.” It doesn’t quite fit, but Neal is older, and definitely I think somewhat nervous compared to Emma — he WAS on the run from Rumple, after all. The fact that he stole watches also seems to play in as well as the world-jumping because it was the Rabbit that Alice followed down the hole.
Now here’s the kicker, and I wonder what you all will make of it — in the book, the White Rabbit was a herald/servant for the Queen of Hearts…

That is interesting.
It’s part of TheGoldenKey’s “Bae is Henry’s father and Peter Pan” theory that she posted on here a while back.
I think that is what inspired the whole theory in the first place π
It’s really cool finding a connection and being like “Wow! That’s neat!” π
@ Rapunzel_is_a_Ginger –
I always thought Jefferson was the White Rabbit.
He is the realm jumper – leading ppl down the rabbit hole – and that was what the White Rabbit did.
Plus, when Regina wanted to contact Jefferson, she left a calling card on Grace’s bike at the school – it was a White Rabbit Tarot card.
I do think Neal/Bae and Jefferson have met at some point – Neverland, maybe, and they know each other.
He must have a decent job even a studio apartment in Manhattan is pricey…
I got the impression when we first met him that he was a lawyer, which would be a nice parallel with Mr. Gold’s side job.
