Since this whole show is about true love I don't think Neal will 'let go' so easily, not after all the stuff his been through...I'm getting so bored of people dying on the show. Neal's arc was, first and foremost, about his relationship with his father. The whole reason the Dark Curse was originally cast. Neal served his purpose, in helping Rumplestiltskin redeem himself. That chapter of the story, is now over. There is not much more, of that story to tell.

OUaT began as, and will always be, a twist on the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fairytale. The show is just returning to its original roots. One could argue that in keeping with the show returning to its' original roots, Neal's relationship with his son has serious potential and is a very plausible route for them to take from here on out, in turn making Neal not yet useless and having served his purpose.
