Yes, but cookies will be needed….and a space in the corner to huddle and rock ….I can see them leaving it that way for the hiatus.
You tell me. My fear is that this’ll be situation that will persist until the winter finale to allow wiggle room to jump start Captain Swan and the triangle. 🙁
[adrotate group="5"]It’s still puzzling to me how they’ll reveal Kurt’s fate in a way that we’ll take it as the truth without question. The actor who played him is not listed for this episode, ruling out flashbacks or present day appearances, and Regina isn’t the most trustworthy person ever, so what’ll give? Are we in for a CGI version of him similar to how we had Maleficent? 😕
Who’s dying next? It’s been a few weeks since someone in Storybrooke has met a grizzly end — R.I.P., Cora! — and it sounds like we won’t have to wait much longer for another tragedy. Eddy told reporters that we should “perhaps” expect a death on the May 5 episode
I think the word perhaps is key here. I’m still convinced Neal will appear to have died to his family, but we’ll find out he actually got transported to FTL in the finale. By the black diamond of doom, maybe?

3) RIP Granny. I’m sure of it.
Granny’s not listed for “Second Star to the Right…”, which is when the “perhaps” death happens, so she’s safe for the next episode.
By the way, as the article reminds us, villains also count as major deaths, and I can totally see Rumple killing Tamara gruesomely if he believes she killed Neal. I wouldn’t rule her out as another possible death.

George Darling had a very positive connection to NL. He was there with Peter Pan as a child, and Geroge had very happy recollections of being there. While I can see him being a concerned parent, especially if Wendy and her brother didn’t return, he would have known where his kids were, in NL, so he wouldn’t need to form a search party to locate his children.
Ah, but doesn’t this assume that ONCE’s NL and PP are going to be happy places? George may not be concerned if his kids were in the Disney version of PP but we know A and E…it’s probably NOT going to be all rainbows and sing-a-longs.
Hmmm, good point. But knowing his kids were in NL, how would forming the Home Office help George to bring the Darling children home again? He’d have no means to fly to NL in search of his kids. And having failed to do so (since I’m assuming George died long ago), then why would the Home Office continue to search for them? And why would the Home Office have evolved to eradicate all magic from this world? It still seems like a giant stretch to go from concerned father to murderous forensic analyst.
Imagine you’re George Darling. Imagine you’re returning home and you see a shadow flying outside your children’s window. Imagine you see this shadow taking away all of your children, which you never see again because they’re having the time of their lives in Neverland. Suddenly it’s not so hard to believe he’d come to hate magic, isn’t it?

We don’t know if George’s connection with Peter Pan will remain, just like we don’t know what kind of Peter Pan and Neverland we’ll have. Adaptations of Peter Pan usually dismiss the time the Darling children remain in Neverland as no time having passed on Earth at all, but we know from Bae’s life that won’t be true in OUAT. I’m sure even a few hours there will leave George and Mary Darling in a state of despair at their children being kidnapped, and if they see then being taken by a mysterious shadow that flys them to an unknown place the seeds are planted for “The Home Office”.
FIRST SNEAK PEEK!

There are, after all, pictures of the Lost Boys in Stevenson from the finale, potentially suggesting that they arrived at Storybrooke at some point, and I think it was mentioned that Freya Tingley, who we now know plays Wendy, was with them.
I'm really curious to see the context those Lost Boys appear in. If they stowed away when Hook left NL, then that would explain them being in SB. But there's also the chance that the pics were just of the actors hanging out on the dock before getting onto the ship to film something, so perhaps the scene they shot wasn't actually set in SB. Though I do have a vague recollection of some scene that involved kids running down the street? Will have to see if I can find it to see if I'm just mis-remembering. Pretty sure that Freya, and the other girl (Laine?), were mentioned as being seen on set on the same day that the Lost Boys were hanging around.
I believe there'll be a scene with the Lost Boys in Past Storybrooke because I see it likely that they'll close his backstory by showing the moment Bae came (back) to our world, and what better way for it to be done than by having the arrival be in Storybrooke, Bae get a shock at seeing Rumple and run like hell from him, leaving the Lost Boys behind?

I still think they may not cast Ariel that young, though. I know that traditionally she’s only 16, but for the context of this show, if they want to give the character a full on, true love romance storyline, they could do that more effectively with an Ariel that’s several years older.
I’ve said this in another thread, but I still don’t get how 16 is seen as tradition for Ariel and not the other Disney Princesses. They’re all teenagers; Snow White, for example, is the youngest of the lineup with only 14 and she’s grown up enough to have a daughter in the show.

They could push her age up to around 20 and still keep the theme of the story where her father doesn’t want her running off. And around 20 makes her mature enough to have a proper relationship.
That’s what I think will happen as well.

To be fair, one’s bound to lose a few details when attempting to cram 150-200 years of your life in a single line that hopes to explain satisfactorially enough to someone how you knew another. 🙂
But they could have easily had him say, “It’s a long story. Short version is this world isn’t the only one I stopped in when I left home,” instead of, “It’s a long story. Short version is this world wasn’t my first stop when I left home.” Only a couple of words different, but it alters the meaning. If they meant the former, they bloody well shoulda used the former. 😛
Fair enough. 🙂

The way I could see this playing out is that Neal’s confession freaks Emma out, because she’s reeling that he still has feelings for her like she still has feelings for him, and the potential of trying again is sort of scary, which is why she’s been trying to deny it to herself up until now.
I don’t think that this scene will end with a big, happy, loved up reunion. I think that this may well be the last time Emma (or anyone else) sees him before he disappears to wherever MAPvillie ends up being. So if they argue here, and then he disappears, that’s angst for Emma over the last words she said to someone she cared about having been said in anger, and also regret if she doesn’t confess her true feelings back to him when she has the chance.
Losing Neal all over again will drive her to find someone to grab onto to steady and distract herself, someone she can express all her pent up emotions with, and that person will be Hook. Then once CaptainSwan get into the swing of things, Neal will show up again and Emma will get thrown for yet another emo loop, because there’s still so much unresolved between SwanFire, and they won’t be able to ignore it.
Then there’ll be a Shipping War to rival the Ogres Wars.
Yes, that’s more or less how I imagine they’ll establish the Neal/Emma/Hook triangle. Especially if everyone does think Neal’s dead, gone for good, as I imagine they’ll be. How that happens is still a mystery, though. Maybe through the activation of the fail-safe crystal?
