I still don't understand why Rumpelstiltskin didn't go to Neverland to rescue Bae. He spends over a century looking for his son who doesn't arrive in our world until 8 years afer the curse. It must have occured to him that Bae was in Neverland as he knew Bae would be 35 more than a century later. It is possible Rumpel was afraid to face his father, although in Season 3 he willingly goes to save Henry, who he beleives is his undoing. We also learn in the later episodes that there are many ways to travel between realms that Rumpel never tried.
