The Darling children were, well, darling, but the shadow who took Wendy away definitely was not. Being not so familiar with the Peter Pan story, I do recall Peter being separated from his shadow but don't recall that shadow being an evil tyrant who kidnaps children and never lets them leave. There was a lot of speculation that Bae was Peter Pan, but now we know that he is not. He was actually picked up from the water by Captain Hook and presumably worked on his ship.
It was very frustrating to see Emma try to convince everyone that Tamara was evil and everyone just patted her hand and told her to sit still. With Neal, it was a little more understandable because Tamara was his fiancee, but Emma's parents are just morons. There, I said it. It's one of the things that kills me about this show. It is basically a story about Snow White (my least favorite Disney princess), but Snow and Prince Charming are so stupid and unlikable that they are hard to watch. The really good parts of the show have nothing to do with these characters. That is a problem.
Of course, Emma was right, and Greg and Tamara are up to know good. I have said many times before that I dislike Regina, but I also dislike seeing someone (especially when it is a man to a woman) being tortured. It's gross. Isn't this supposed to be a family show? Kill her quickly or yell at her, but torture is just gross. I get that Greg just wanted his dad back and Regina killed him (probably) for no reason, but still. Tamara is also gross because Neal is a pretty good guy and she told him she never loved him and then shot him. She needs to go. Now. I am pretty curious about this whole organization that they work for. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is some sort of religious organization, which I really have a problem with. I don't like religion being made fun of or mocked. It has become popular in Hollywood to do so, but I am just not cool with it. So, I am hoping I am wrong about that.
Even though this episode was pretty great overall, there were definitely some annoying moments. The Charmings rescued Regina. Genius move. She will try to kill them again. Although..... (ha ha!) "Lacey" was drinking again and bringing out Rumple's violent side. And how creepy was it when she asked if he could make her be young forever? Is she just using him? It was really sad to see Neal fall through that portal and Emma refusing to let go of him. It was surprising to hear them admit they loved each other being apart so long, but it was nice too. I hope they can be together someday.
So, what is next in the season finale? According to the episode synopsis, Greg and Tamara will use that diamond to try to destroy Storybrooke and Regina will try to stop it. Rumple will find out what happened to his son, and of course, be really bummed out about it. But, will Neal live? I don't know, but if you pay attention to spoilers, there have been a few pictures of Neal hanging out with Mulan, Aurora, and Philip in the Enchanted Forest. So, I am guessing, he will be found next season some time after the actor has a chance to film some movies. :) And what of the villains? Well, again, spoilers say that they will be kidnapping Henry and his extended family will travel to Neverland to get him back. I am not sure if this includes Rumple and Belle. So, we will probably have another great episode and then have to wait another four months to see what happens!
