Whoa. Okay then. I wonder for what episode?? Most likely NOT 315, that’s a Rumbelle/Belle episode and he doesn’t really fit there. Maybe 316? Maybe 316 is a Neal episode?
Hopefully, yes! We’ve already had confirmation from Adam and Eddy that we’d be seeing more of August and more of Neal’s backstory this season.

Who says Emma and Neal don’t understand each other? They’re cut from the same cloth. This was the same episode in which Hook tried to “bond” with Emma about knowing what it means to lose hope, and Emma called him on it! She said she saw what he was doing! Now which man does Emma identify with more I wonder, even when that man isn’t around? Hmmmm.
In recent news, supposedly Eion Baliey has confirmed the return of August! And we know what that likely means….more of Neal’s backstory!

That last second before the actual hug, as they’re both going in for it and then SUDDENLY they collide with almost a force behind them—like two magnets you get close enough together that they can’t hold back the attraction any longer.
Reminds me of when Emma and Neal literally collided into each other after the chase scene in Manhattan. Magnets inexplicably drawn together by forces greater than themselves!

I wonder how much of the motifs of the first season, leaps of faith, “belief” and all that will transfer to the second half?
Hopefully, all of them!

So far today I have speculated that
–Neal is in NYC with Hook
–Neal is in OZ with Belle rescuing Rumple
–Neal sent a letter to Emma that gets her to believe everything Hook is saying.
It’s only Friday, less than a week after 311. This is going to drive us bonkers. I need more set pics.
Whatever the truth is, I suspect it will be a good reason why Hook came instead of Neal. I still think that Neal might be with Belle trying to rescue Rumple from Oz, but I like the idea that first he comes to NYC with Hook. I remember that someone from our message board had tweeted Jane Espenson asking what would happen to Neal in the second half of S3. She replied that it was a spoiler; so, I’m hoping it’s something juicy!

Another excellent point! As far as cursed Emma knows, no one besides herself knows the true identity of Henry’s father. In her mind, it would be unexplainable how Neal had any knowledge or awareness of Henry’s existence (unless he’d hired a private eye to track her). But in cursed Emma’s mind, why would Neal have any reason to even suspect they had a son together? She still thinks he set her up for prison! And why on Earth would Neal have sent a man who claims to be Captain Hook in his place? As Emma is prone to say: “What the he!!?”

RumplesGirl wrote: Wacky headcanon but what if Neal sent a letter telling Emma to believe Hook. Because while she might not want to see Neal as she is presently, seeing that Neal knows about Henry would be the biggest indication that Hook is telling the truth. Then seeing the dreamcatcher would prompt her to at least take a leap of faith (THEME) and drink the potion
That would be something, like the postcard August sent Neal. A letter can be forged but an actual, recognizable artifact that connects Emma to her memory of the past with Neal? That is why I’m latching onto the idea that the dreamcatcher is Emma’s actual wake-up call to her true identity. All the better if Neal is there too! That’s pretty believable!

Emma is not Neal. Neal knew the other world existed and knew about magic. He knows the story August is telling is true and the piece of paper in a typerwriter in a box is all the proof he needs. Emma would think it was some sort of elaborate hoax.
Yes, that is the Emma of S1 in a nutshell. I do wonder how cursed Emma, believing she kept Henry, the trust believer, might’ve affected her mentality. J-MO said her implanted beliefs will certainly influence her. Perhaps by thinking she raised Henry, he’ll have rubbed off on her and therefore will be more likely to believe faster than Emma was in reality in S1. Perhaps that is how cursed Emma, upon seeing the dreamcatcher again, will agree to drink the elixir from the BF?

Yes her own son telling her these tales and her reaction was that he was crazy and she was ready to leave him with Regina and then only stuck around because his therapist said it was a good idea.
Exactly! From the pilot:
Henry: Use your superpower. See if I’m lying.
Emma: Just because you believe something, doesn’t make it true.
Henry: That’s exactly what makes it true. You should know more than anyone.
Emma: Why’s that?
Henry: Because you’re in this book.
Emma: Oh, kid. You’ve got problems.
Henry: Yep. And you’re going to fix them.Would Emma have really believed Neal, a grown man, was telling the truth unless he had some sort of undeniable proof?
