Here's what I think: I think he showed Neal the drawing of the dagger or something that Bae would have used/seen in the Enchanted Realm. I believe and super hope that Neal is Bae. Mostly because I have a scene playing out in my head in which:

Rumple stops the car when he sees Neal and realizes that some sort of magic talisman is pointing at Neal. Emma sees Neal and is very angry. I'm not sure if Henry goes with them in the actual show, but in my head he does. Emma gets out of the car, shoves Neal against the wall, unable to control her temper and anger at the man she believes has betrayed her(because had they stayed together, she probably would have kept Henry and given him the life she has missed out on). Rumple gets out to defend his long-lost son. He is then confused as to how they know each other, which is probably when one or both of them find out that Neal/Bae is Henry's father. Neal joins them on the journey back home, his reasons leaning more towards seeking forgiveness from Emma and getting to know the son he never knew about more than reuniting with his father, towards whom he still harbors resentment and anger.

And that is what I really, REALLY want to happen.
