Optimally yes, plots require a lot more planning, especially with television. The point was not "the writers should have done this" but "Neal staying with Emma would've been an equally viable plot if they'd chosen to take that route."

Though, considering that the speed at which dreamshade kills a person isn't even consistent across one episode (David versus Liam), I'm suspicious of how well the writers have thought out the little details. I noted that too. Wondering if the lost boys prepared the arrow tip with diluted poison.

Because the lost boys probably get a rise out of letting the victim die a slow painful death.

Just like Hook did when he poisoned Rumple. (reviewing what Hook said when David was about to hack thru dreamshade in lost girl I think..)

Whereas Liam got a full contact off the plants concentrated dose.
