Okay got another idea for why Tamara may be there.

She may be like Morraine...when Bae needed wisdom as to what to do and where to go Morraine pointed him in the direction of the Blue Fairy.

It says she is someone who doesn't stop until she gets what she wants. If Nealfire is hesitant to go back to Storybrook even for Henry and Emma if he finds out magic is there it may be that this Tamara encourages him to go after what he wants.

They have done this before with Belle encouraging Dreamy to go to Nova and Grumpy encouraging Belle to follow her dreams. They can't use an FTL character for this with Neal since they are in the real world so they would have to cast someone new.

Would actually make sense to have her meet Neal in Selfless, Brave, and True if what most people think is true...that the Asian healer in the episode instructs or guides Mulan or August (whichever theory you prescribe to) onto their path. Tamara may do the same for Neal...guide him onto his path by encouraging him to go to Storybrook.

Might even mean that in the Queen is Dead where she is introduced we see her in a scene with Neal encouraging him to go to Storybrook before Emma and company head back home.

She could still be a girlfriend but at this point she could be anyone.
