Rumple - he was just weird, why didn't he went to look for Neal. Sure we know that he's not there, but he doesn't know that.

I think perhaps because Rumple had been to the underworld before he knows how it works. Knowing that Neal died at peace and for a purpose, Rumple could assume that Neal was not to be found there. Or, at least, he did not expect him to be there.

Like many others I was initially leery of the flashbacks, "Oh, yay! Yet more Evil Queen backstory!" But it was a nice tie-up of previous loose threads and showed some interaction between Cora and Henry Snr during the Evil Queen's actual reign.

I am very interested in how the Pan sub-plot plays out. Pan's brand of psychological warfare was what made him one of the most interesting villains of the show.

Hades is certainly large and in charge. He pretty much brutalizes Cora in that final scene. And there aren't many who can put Cora on the back foot like that.
