Edzz ...yes thats how they all got back the second time. Actually Neil set out to catch the shadow but he and Hook began fighting and while they were fighting Emma caught it. Its possible that he caught it the first time as well, but how he would have left I don't know if they said.

AL .....Now ...so Neil probably came "5 to 10 years after the time Emma was sent through the wardrobe". Lets see if that works. If he came from Neverland, 10 years after Emma came through, she would have been 10. She had Henry 8 years later and Neil would have been 22 at the time (because he would have came to our world from Neverland at 14  because he never aged there).

That only works if he was in Neverland all of that time. But I'm not really sure he was there all that time. Here's why I dont think he was :

When the Darling brothers came to our world they told Belle that Wendy had been held captive by Pan in Neverland for over a century.Where was Bae during the whole time she was held prisoner. I find it hard to believe that he was there too and then left her knowing she was still being held captive. Hes not that kind of guy. He would have never left her knowing she was a prisoner. If the script remains  true to Neils character when Pan brought Wendy back, Neil  was gone, long after Wendy was brought and held captive. If Neil was on the island too how could he not know she was there  and IF he knew, would he leave her there? And if he wasn't there that means he left there before Wendy got there which means he was somewhere else for over 100 years and didn't  age.

So I'm not 100% sure he was at Neverland the whole time. He could have been with Hook but I'm still not sure he was in the island that whole time ...or if he came directly from the Neverland to our world.

So thats where I'm at on it. Have Ive missed something somewhere. Whats your thought?

I'm probably into this way more than I need to be. I am indeed an out cold fanatic and cant wait till it comes back on tonight The only way Baelfire doesn't age is if he's in Neverland, because no one ages in Neverland. The only other way you don't age is if you are cursed (The Dark One, everybody in Season 1, etc.) or are certain kind of magical beings (The Blue Fairy, etc.). Bae left Wendy simply because he didn't know Pan had her held hostage. Pan has plenty of hiding spaces on the island where he could have kept Wendy out of sight, especially if he keep her locked up in a cage. Wendy came to Neverland probably a few days to a few months after Bae got there, as she is the same age as she was in LWM England in the 1800's. Her brothers were allowed to grow into adults, but then their aging was stopped as well. This is the only explaination that works, as it would have been mentioned if Bae went somewhere else and didn't age for hundreds of years.
