Also, this beings up the question of why Rumple hasn't realized what a massive second chance  he's wasted with Henry? He has shown little interest in being a grandfather, which seems strange. Henry lost his father, and as his grandfather Rumple could have filled that void in a way.

What is it about being a father that he wants so much, but not by being grandfather? And doesn't he owe Neil to look after his son? Well the thing with Henry is, he's too good for Rumple. Rumple hates goodness. Henry and Rumple haven't shown true interest in eachother since 3A. 3B, Henry had no memory and Rumple was enslaved. 4A, Henry was a spy and seemed to care very little how his grandfather felt. 4B, Rumple was the Big Bad. 5A, coma and close to semi-interest followed by evil again. 5B, Rumple didn't kill Henry. That is the friendliest interaction they've had in a while, as if "I didn't kill him and his girlfried when he made me mad" is good enough for Bae. I really liked they're old Interactions, but I've given up all hope. Not to mention, I don't think Rumple is allowed anywhere close to Henry after what he's done.

I don't know, maybe Rumple will go to Henry to plead his case and Henry will believe him? I quite honestly doubt it, but I have hope. Small hope, but hope. We've had a great many ship casualties this year, including Grandpastiltskin, WickedQueen, Rumbelle, etc. I've given up almost.
