I just can't connect Peter and Malcolm as one in the same. Yes! That's precisely my problem with the whole situation.

Some poeple said Pan had 300 years to stew in Neverland. But he met Rumple way before that, when he was "disguised" as Piper. And he had already changed into what Pan is today. By that time, he already wanted to hurt Rumple, to make him feel bad. Rumple must have been what? 40-something at that time? Granted, one can do a lot of thinking and changing in give or take 40 years, but I still don't think it's enough time to turn a loser like Malcolm into a demon like Pan.

I think (and sincerely hope) the writers will explain how that drastic change occured in such a short period of time. And also why! Pan needed to distance himself from Rumple if he wanted to stay young, all right, but why hurt and taunt him like he did/does? [...]

While Malcolm may have indeed taken the name Peter Pan due to some feeling of nostalgia, he ultimatley doesn't care for him. I think he just wanted Rumple on his side because together they'd be undefeatable. He wants another underling, not a son. I agree, I feel Peter only cares for himself. Why else would he so nonchalantly put Rumple in Pandora's Box after asking him to stay?

I feel, though, that now there's no room to keep his character. Peter could have been such an amazing character and could have stayed for a long time if they had played their cards right. Now, I just know Peter is going to die or turn back into his older version. And even then he's most likely going to die. That makes me really sad, especially because Robbie Kay is such a wonderful actor who deserves to stay on the show.
