Though that does beg the question: where did Philip come from? I thought he was a soulless husk at this point.


 * )  he (Neal) appeared for like 10 seconds so I think if you sneezed at the wrong time you'd have missed it!!

I know!! This episode is just FULL of plot devices that seem to have been put in to just ease the story along!! Quite poor and lazy writing really as they have known how many episodes are in a series and could have eased some bits in earlier (re Leroy's potion!)

I know people will say 'we'll find out how Philip got his soul back in season 3 flashback' but it was just unecessary! He didn't need to be there! So unless he has some miracle cure in his pocket he could have still been his souless husk!! (Maybe the actor was contracted for x amount of hours and he hadn't quite fulfilled them!)

A brief thought crossed my mind that Neal's ended up in another time in the Enchanted Forest, before Philip became a soulless husk - but then all 3 of them (Philip, Aurora and Mulan) weren't together at any point before then so that was a no-no!
