Neal showed no inclination of coming back, except to get away from magic. If he wanted to be a father/family man, he wouldn't be living alone in a New York city apartment. We'll find out next week - but I still seriously doubt he's gonna be Peter Pan.

Besides...

Wouldn't he just have denied being Bae and told everyone he was Peter Pan, if, in fact, he was Peter Pan? Why be both, when one means a tie to the man he hates (Rumple). And there's also the fact that Peter Pan is... well... Peter Pan. Not Baelfire. Unless he came up with an alias - which he wouldn't need to, in Neverland, because no one there knew who he was.
