So I thought of this last night....

Rumple wants to give Peter Pan a fate worse than death, right? In Nasty Habits, EF Rumple told Bae that Peter left him for Neverland, "betraying him". Peter has been living on Neverland for centuries. It's the reason for his eternal youth, and he wants Henry to use his belief to restore Neverland's magic. It seems, and is very plausible, that Peter loves Neverland very, very much.

So what if Rumple uses Pandora's Box to destroy Neverland? Destroy the island where Peter has lived for so long, the place Peter calls home, where he is "in tune with every grain of sand" (as he told Henry in 301). In the original, the island caters to Peter's will -- essentially, the island seems to love Peter, however impossible that seems. Peter has a strong connection to Neverland, no doubt about that.

If Rumple destroys Neverland, that would not only cause Peter to continue aging, but it would most likely devastate Peter. It would force him to grow up, and to find a new home. Neverland is where Peter holds all the cards. If it was gone, so would Peter's advantage.

Episode 310 is called The New Neverland; Many people have been speculating that the new Neverland is Storybrooke. If Rumple destroyed Neverland, Peter might try to retain the island's power and then bring it to Storybrooke.

It's just something I thought of when I was drifting to sleep last night. Something to chew on.
