There is one thing that bothers me about this episode, as well as the Apprentice's apparences in S4A: if he can get people from the Enchanted Forest to the virtually unreachable LWM so easily, why the hell didn't he just drop Rumple down a portal so he could follow Baelfire?

I mean, okay, he doesn't help villains (except Ingrid for whatever reason). But if he can predict the future and is invested in the common good, then why didn't he give Rumple what he wanted? How much collateral damage would have been spared to the WHOLE Enchanted Forest if he had just transported Rumple to the LWM without question? It doesn't make much sense that he just sit back and watched mutiple lives getting destroyed for several decades in a row.
