Great post… I’d add that Neal did choose to abandon Emma based on Pinocchio’s warning and wound up abandoning Henry (even though he did not realize it). I think that is part of the reason why Neal fights so hard for Henry, because as much as he didn’t want to be like his dad, he inadvertently did the same thing – abandoned his son for the sake of magic (in this case breaking the curse).

What’s worth noting is that not just Neal but Gold as well choosing to redeem his sins by remaining faithful to the cause and saving his grandson. I almost wonder if the pure nature of Henry’s sacrifice will not only redeem Gold and Neal but also his grandfather as well?
