Though, it did show the parallel of Rumple not trusting Bae in EF, to Neal not trusting Rumple in Neverland. And we saw a tad bit more of Peter's power (withstanding the sleeping spell, lighting the bonfire and the torch with a wave of his hand, his enchanted pan flute...), as well as learning that Peter and Rumple actually grew up together. Yes, but as I said it just set the grounds for future flashbacks which will explain the relationship between Rumple and Peter Pan in much more detail, it was more than a "teaser" flashback. Which, combined with a "nothing really happened" plotline in present day, left me very frustrated,

Besides, those flashbacks somewhat contradict what we already know: how did Baelfire end up from wanting to flee from his father to wanting to be with him so badly that he tried to bring him to the LWM just and only to do that, and subsequently spending all his life holding grudge towards Rumple for abandoning him?
