It doesn't make sense to me. First, "you are unloved" then, "I never forgot about you"; "Leave" to "Stay".... I'm so confused.

I just can't connect Peter and Malcolm as one in the same. Yes! That's precisely my problem with the whole situation.

Some poeple said Pan had 300 years to stew in Neverland. But he met Rumple way before that, when he was "disguised" as Piper. And he had already changed into what Pan is today. By the time, he already wanted to hurt Rumple, to make him feel bad. Rumple must have been what? 40-something at that time? Granted, one can do a lot of thinking and changing in give or take 40 years, but I still don't think it's enough time to turn a loser like Malcolm into a demon like Pan.

I think (and sincerely hope) the writers will explain how that drastic change occured in such a short period of time. And also why! Pan needed to distance himself from Rumple if he wanted to stay young, all right, but why hurt and taunt him like he did/does?
