Interesting. I guess I interpreted it differently. There was an episode early in the series where Regina was asking Gold about Henry and he was talking about how he procured him from Phoenix, etc. It totally seemed like he knew what what he was doing. But then, I guess it could have been fate. While the revelation of Neal is Bae was not shocking, I liked how the episode unfolded. And the conversation in the bar where Neal says that there is no such thing as coincidence. So everything was meant to happen...
