Playing on the title of 3×19… “The Silver Shoes,” said the Good Witch, “have wonderful powers. And one of the most curious things about them is that they can carry you to any place in the world in three steps, and each step will be made in the wink of an eye. All you have to do is to knock the heels together three times and command the shoes to carry you wherever you wish to go.”
Neal did mention them in the beginning of the season. I would like to think there is more back story there other than a shout out. Possible explanation as to how Neal arrived in our world after escaping NL?
Head Cannon accepted.
Episode 319 is called a Curious Thing. I’m beginning to think that 319 could be a Neal & Rumple centric episode with a possibility of August showing up in a flashback or two. I believe that this will be a huge episode considering it’s written by Adam & Eddy
You’re right Neal did mention to Robin & Mulan that lots of things make portals. He mentioned Ruby Slippers specifically. So I’m thinking Neal may have spent time in OZ when Dorothy was there. It wouldn’t surprise me if Rumple had also been in Oz around that time as well. If that is the case maybe Neal also had a run in with the WWW. I’m thinking it’s possible that the Black Fairy could also be involved with OZ especially if she was banished from the Enchanted Forest by the Blue Fairy. I have a theory that it was someone from OZ who may have told August that Neal was actually Baelfire.
So when I googled “curious thing” just as someone else did, I came up with that Scottish pop song, and apparently Bobby is friends with the producer Paul Weller (He’s a known musician ) and the title of the record by Amy Macdonald’s lead single is “Don’t tell me that it’s over”. Who knows but maybe it could be a Rumple/Neal episode like Nasty Habits really was as their stories are often linked the way Snow and Regina stories are. I do think Glinda and the slippers will feature in it some way, but I’m hoping that it’s not just flashbacks for Neal here, that it will be the episode where we see him present day perhaps after being misled that he’s gone.
I can also see this as a possibility as well KFC.
this is probably old but… behold:
I think this is fitting

I don’t know about you guys but I’m starting to get anxious for more Once Upon A Time

OMG Lauren I love that Manip
Keeper of Neal/BaelFire's Blood Magic, Neverland Crossbow, FTL Clothes,Room at Granny’s, Charming & Emma’s Father/Daughter Hugs, Henry's Neverland Crossbow, Rumplestlitskin/Mr.Gold's FTL Walking StickI don’t mean to get everybody’s hopes up needlessly, but I have to ask. Ginny Goodwin just tweeted a picture of Jared Gilmore. Who does that person in the background by the window look like to you? Is he wearing a scarf? Am I just seeing what I want to see? The person is almost certainly a man, because I think I can detect facial hair. If only he’d turned a little bit more! Could he possibly be MRJ? Or is it Sean Maguire (who plays Robin Hood)?
[quote=244436]Slurpeez: oh gosh. It does look like MRJ. It does. And that’s a blue scarf. Ok. Ok. Ok. Not getting too excited[/quote]
Slurpeez & RG I do believe you are right. I do believe that very well could be MRJ
Okay Girls Breathe
Keeper of Neal/BaelFire's Blood Magic, Neverland Crossbow, FTL Clothes,Room at Granny’s, Charming & Emma’s Father/Daughter Hugs, Henry's Neverland Crossbow, Rumplestlitskin/Mr.Gold's FTL Walking StickOkay – I’ve gotta ask. Who is that by the window?
Hey Slurpeez It looks to me like MRJ by the window
Keeper of Neal/BaelFire's Blood Magic, Neverland Crossbow, FTL Clothes,Room at Granny’s, Charming & Emma’s Father/Daughter Hugs, Henry's Neverland Crossbow, Rumplestlitskin/Mr.Gold's FTL Walking StickVanCity’s tweet response was from 9:26pm PST on the 7th (so, last Friday night), referring to last week.
Which means there is no confirmation that Colin is even filming this week especially if they are in Studio. Which also means we don’t know who all is in studio filming since there is no cameras allowed.

They all share the same look in their eyes… The look you get when you’ve been left alone.” Captain Hook says this to Emma shortly after meeting her during their climb up the beanstalk. He’s seen this look on the Lost Boys. What lost boy did he spend the most time with? What lost boy did he hear directly from about his abandonment? This kid right here:
Bae talking about his father abandoning him.
Bae finding out his mother had actually abandoned him.
Bae realizing Captain Hook is betraying and abandoning him. Who is this boy?
“You were a lost boy.” Just saying.
And tears. (((Neal))))

Captain Hook says this to Emma shortly after meeting her during their climb up the beanstalk. He’s seen this look on the Lost Boys. What lost boy did he spend the most time with? What lost boy did he hear directly from about his abandonment? This kid right here: [image of Baelfire]
That is why I think the Captain Hook – Neal interactions are still forthcoming, at least I hope so. There is so much potential, and I think that the writers might be saving the best for last. According to Colin O’Donoghue, Hook still sees Neal as Milha’s son, whom he cares about in a paternal way.
Colin O’Donoghue: That relationship with Baelfire is very complicated. Hook really would have given up everything to be a father figure to Baelfire, and I think that even now, hundreds of years later, he still sees him as that little boy, and still holds him quite dear. Even though he gave him up to the Lost Boys, if Baelfire had turned around said, “I want to stay,” he would have done everything in his power to keep him. At the end of the day, Hook really truly loved Baelfire’s mother Milah and he still sees the mother in the boy. So it would be complicated, but I would be interested to see how he would react to that. [x]
Although Hook continues to act selfishly by trying to insert himself between Neal and Emma, I keep hoping that Hook will eventually do right by his so-called son figure. The fact is, it’s hard for him to change after hundreds of years as a pirate. We can’t expect him to totally become honorable overnight, can we? He still hasn’t honored the “bro-code” of not vying for the same woman as your “good friend” or son figure. But just maybe, it’s a lesson he’ll learn by the end of the season.
Colin O’Donoghue: “He’s quite different; he’s struggling with whether or not he should try to become this new person or not and that’s difficult for him because I think there’s a part of him that wants to try to do the right thing, but he’s been living with this hatred and revenge for hundreds of years, so it’s tough to let go of. That’s a real struggle for him.” [x]
Last autumn, Colin O’Donoghue gave an interview about why things are “complicated” and why the Hook-Swan-Cassidy dynamic is not your traditional love triangle:
In it we will see a younger version of him that may not be expected– but will it inform why he relates as much as he does to Emma (Jennifer Morrison)?
“I think the relationship that they have is sort of complicated because they both care deeply for Baelfire. Emma loves him, you know, and Hook was willing to give up everything to become his step-father– that figure. And in the first episode you see that he has kept his sword. Remember that he would have had to have kept that sword for hundreds of years, and he says to her– ’cause she said ‘Obviously you guys were quite close’– and he said ‘I miss him, too’. And he was very, very genuine about that. They always saw an element of themselves in each other anyway, I think, from when they went up the beanstalk, but in particular this sort of thing you know is kind of, they’re not that dissimilar,” O’Donoghue said. [x]
I think that Colin O’Donoghue finds the entire situation between Hook-Emma-Neal to be quite frankly, odd.
The cat’s out of the bag about Emma and Hook’s kiss. Were you aware that this was where this particular storyline was going?
I think it was always sort of in the background, that there would be a thing [between Emma and Hook]. Hook and Emma have this kindred spirits kind of thing. They really see themselves in each other and there’s no denying that there’s a spark between the two of them. Where the complication comes in now is obviously Hook would have given up everything to be Baelfire’s father and still sees him a little bit as that boy. At the moment when they kiss, they don’t know that Neal is in Neverland and they don’t know that he’s alive. They think he’s dead. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when all that [comes out]. It’s a weird situation. Hook was with [Neal’s] mother and now he’s kissed his ex-girlfriend, the mother of his son [Henry], so it’s sort of a weird situation. (Laughs.) [x]Goodness knows I find it bizarre that Hook, who seduced Bae’s mommy would go for Bae’s baby mama. To me, it’s conceptually just really repugnant that Hook, who could almost be Hook’s step-grandfather, would try to sleep with Henry’s mother. WEIRD! I can’t wait for Emma to finally learn the truth about Hook being the lover of Neal’s mother. PLEASE let her find out soon.
I have to agree with all of this.
I still have #HopeForHeal & #HopeForSwanFire
I can’t wait for Emma to find out that it was Hook that Milah left Neal & Rumple for. I think once she make connection things will be very different on how she looks at things where both men are concerned but ultimately I do believe Emma & Neal will work things out and get back together
If somewhere deep inside that Hook still looks at Neal as Milah’s son and if Neal was in some kind of mortal danger then I think it’s highly plausible that Hook will let go of his selfishness and really could ultimately sacrifice himself for Neal so that Milah’s son could be happy. Which would be like Hook apologizing to Neal for all of the wrongs that he has done to him from breaking up his family as a child and giving Bae up to the Lost Boys in Neverlamd, etc. All if that could go along way into redeeming his character and nothing redeems a bad guy then by making a huge unselfish heroic sacrifice and what would be more unselfish & heroic then sacrificing his life for Neal in order for Neal to get his happiness with Emma & his son Henry Hence Hook’s poster “Believe That A Pirate Can Be A Hero” would most definitely come to pass and bring everyone involved in that triangle full circle
Keeper of Neal/BaelFire's Blood Magic, Neverland Crossbow, FTL Clothes,Room at Granny’s, Charming & Emma’s Father/Daughter Hugs, Henry's Neverland Crossbow, Rumplestlitskin/Mr.Gold's FTL Walking StickRemember always to look for the good moments.
And you think having lunch with Neal would be a good moment? x
This story is so incomplete that it could not be resolved in just a few episodes. Emma and Neal have so much love for one another, yet have so many insecurities. They were on their way finally to sit down and just talk, but got interrupted. There is so much lack of resolution, which is why I’m almost certain their story is FAR from being over. Their story is most definitely a slow burn. As Schmacky said, if it weren’t going to happen, then it wouldn’t be happening in the present. From a narrative perspective, you don’t reintroduce an ex-lover just as part of a triangle only for the new guy to get the girl; you do it in order to show the first lovers’ journey home. The new love interest is usually the distraction, not the goal, of the story.
Also, in Emma and Neal’s case, their repeatedly declaring love for one another (to the point of excess some might say) is like hitting home that love is enough to overcome pain, especially in cases where the pain they both feel is from not being together. The only resolution to that kind of hurt in a story about happy endings is to face that pain head-on, not to run from it or to burry it in the sand. Emma must learn to face her fear of abandonment, just as Neal has been facing his fear of rejection. That is why Emma and Neal being together equals CHARACTER GROWTH for both of them. They’re better off together than they could ever be alone. Also, as Emma said, love is strength, and Emma and Neal love one another. They never ceased loving another and never will. Emma loves Neal, and she draws strength from that fact, just as she does her love for her son.
That is why any other contender ultimately doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things to the journey of Emma and Neal finding a way home again to each other. Every time I focus on just the narrative and stop worrying about the outside noise, that is when I see most clearly the story A&E are telling. I’m not phased anymore by rumors or popularity contests. All narrative signs point towards Emma and Neal rediscovering what family, belonging and home mean. Henry’s family always finds each other, and Henry’s family includes his biological parents, (obviously). In a story about second chances, too, it makes the most sense that our core heroine and her beloved would get another go at love together. *believe in second chances* *believe in home*
OMG Slurpeez vey well put. I am marrying your post.

You know what I mean
And the way she looked was way beyond compare

That before too long I’d fall in love with her
She wouldn’t dance with another (Whooh)
When I saw her standing thereWell, my heart went “boom”
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine…Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I’ll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing thereWell, my heart went “boom”
When I crossed that room
And I held her hand in mine…Whoah, we danced through the night
And we held each other tight
And before too long I fell in love with her
Now I’ll never dance with another (Whooh)
Since I saw her standing thereSF feels anyone?
