Well just because they showed the bean doesn’t mean it’s going to have importance later.
It could just be the parallel with Emma. The Giant carries around a bean to remind himself of what had happened and to not trust humans.
Emma wears a keychain around her neck to remind her of the betrayal she suffered and to never allow herself to trust like that again.
That could be the only importance of the bean. But maybe you’re right, maybe it’s magical and we’ll see it again.

August gave her the money then she would know that Neal still cared for her and she would want to find him.
First of all, August kept that money because it was a temptation and apparently he’s bad at saying no.
Second of all, even without 20 grand in her pocket, Emma still went looking for Neal when she got out.
I would feel so much better if Neal was Bae’s son than Bae himself. Still would prefer he has no connection to Bae at all (biologically) but…
Yeah I get it. It’s some half ass plan to get Emma back on track and he didn’t really put any thought into it because he’s just thinking “oh crap oh crap I messed up” instead of taking a moment and realizing “oh crap, I’m messing up EVEN MORE.”
I don’t just dislike him because of what he did in Portland. But also how he acted when he arrived in SB. Knowing what happened in Portland, he comes into SB so.. full of himself and sure of everything and even demeans Emma in a certain way. I don’t like his attitude knowing he had found her before.
edit: And left her. Again.
He ultimately just wanted her to be safe. He wasn’t being observant though of her feelings, thats true.
This is the only motivation I can see for August to do the crap he did. He said something about her being safe in the system but now she’s out. Since he isn’t actively involved in her life and therefore unable to literally protect her, he’s afraid something bad will happen to her. Like, she’ll die. He wants to keep her holed up and safe. If he could put her in a tower, he probably would. She was safe in the system, she’ll be safe in jail, etc etc… he doesn’t think of her as a person but as some object he needs to keep safe.
I still dislike him. Oh, so very much. He’s pompous and arrogant and self-righteous and selfish.
I’m not necessarily super upset at August for breaking them up. I think it was a stupid thing to do. I think he was being a little self-righteous in making those choices for Emma and believing that she or Neal couldn’t change their lifestyle. I mean, if Neal now believed, wouldn’t he stop this life of crime (that they were going to do anyway) because Emma is meant for greatness? But anyway, I can almost let it slide that he broke them up… almost.
But the truly horrible thing he did? Set that girl up for jail time and making her believe she was betrayed by the one person she loved. I’ll even give him the benefit of the doubt and say he thought there was absolutely NO other way to get this girl to understand that crime isn’t the way and she needs to live an honest life. But 11 months? And being betrayed? Why? Why was that necessary? He could have set Emma up for some small thing where she served 30 days in jail.. enough to scare her straight. And he could have convinced Neal to just break it off with Emma and leave her alone.
But no.. he had to rip that girl’s heart out and stomp around on it. The shadiest, saddest, most messed up way possible.. that’s what August did.
And then what makes it worse? He promised Neal he’d take care of Emma. He convinced this man to leave her alone and now he can’t take care of her so he promises he’ll do it in his stead. What does he do? Breaks that promise and drifts out of her life yet again.
August served absolutely no purpose in coming back into Emma’s life except to ruin it. He didn’t help Emma along her path, he didn’t ensure the savior would believe. If anything, he made the road to her belief even more difficult. Now she’s going to have crazy trust issues so.. good job August!
Putting the money in the envelope isn’t the only way to give Emma the money. And no, it wouldn’t be in the car. That’s stupid putting 20 grand in a car for 9 months (as she received the mail at least two months later). He could have given her another key and slip in the envelope with a safe deposit box #.
From August’s expression when seeing the cash I think they made it quite obvious he pocketed it. And plus the podcast confirms it. But even without the podcast, it seemed really obvious to me that he kept that money.
Besides him having moppy brown hair and it’d be fun for Henry to be the grandson of Rumple I haven’t heard anything that actually makes sense for him to be Baelfire. I’ve seen more “evidence” of him being the White Rabbit or a Lost Boy than Baelfire.
That’s wonderful and congratulations on people’s track record. But he’s not Baelfire right now, is he? No. You cannot say with 100% certainty that he is Baelfire. So why refer to Neal as him? They’re not the same guy right now.
I am not a Neal-is-Bae fan at all. And honestly, it’s a little annoying when others refer to Neal as Bae. I know, I know.. it’s fandom and people can think whatever they want, ship whatever they want, etc… but when having discussions and you keep seeing “Bae” when they’re referring to Neal is really annoying… because it’s not that way. Yet. Or maybe ever.
If he ends up not being Bae I just might laugh hysterically
edit: by “you” I mean the general you.
