Really? I thought it was intelligent writing having Rumple step in as the Fairy Godmother and show just how intertwined in everyone's lives he was. And it wasn't totally random, Emma saving Cinderella and giving her a happy ending led to owing Rumple a favor which in turn led to her re-uniting with Neal/Baelfire when the favor was to find him in New York.
