As much as I ship CS, I adore that Neal loves Emma (and Henry) so much that he's willing to use black magic to get back to them. He's hated it ever since his father became the Dark One and changed. And then his father chose it over him and abandoned him. It's a twist of fate that he dies at the hand of the very thing he swore he wanted no part of. But all magic comes with a price.
