Why didn't Neal leave with Emma so they could be with Henry together? The town line has no effect on him after all. Neal, Hook, and Tink are taken back for the simple reason that they are in LWM and they are from elsewhere.

You make a good point, although if he had gone with them, it wouldn't have ended well. Think about it: Emma's gonna forget about all of them and everything from since she drove up to Storybrooke, so she's gonna forget her and Neal reuniting and all the work they'd done on their relationship since, and as they're driving away to boot. So for him to suddenly appear in the damn car like that after her not seeing him since, well, that night where she got arrested ('cuz that's how it would be for her)...it wouldn't end well XD
