Skull Rock. Present. Rumpy finds Pan waiting for him. "Hello, laddie." Pan notices Pandora's box. "Oh, I see you've come bearing gifts." Rumpy asks where Henry is. Pan refers to the child as his great-grandson. "You still haven't told the others who I really am. Why?" Rumpy says it's because Pan is nothing more than a coward to him. Pan figures if that was true, he'd already be in the box. Rumpy wonders if he drew him here just to taunt him. Pan says he wants to give Rumpy one last chance. "Stay with me. Let this go. Let's start over." Rumpy says he could never forgive his father for abandoning him. Pan thought that since he did the same thing to his son, he expected him to be more understanding. "You traded Baelfire for the power of a dagger." Not exactly. He only got the dagger to save Bae. He was afraid of jumping in a portal, but probably because he feared he'd end up back with you, you smug brat. Rumpy denies that they're anything alike. He regretted leaving Bae the moment he let him go. He's spent his whole life trying to get him back. Pan swears he never forgot Rumpy. "Why do you think I call myself Peter Pan?" Rumpy says, "Don't think for a moment it's because I believe you care for me." Pan insists he does. He tells Rumpy to put down the box and he'll see it's true. They can finally have their fresh start together. Rumpy says, "Oh, I'm gonna make a fresh start, just not with you." He waves his hand over Pandora's box, and nothing happens. Pan laughs and takes out the real Pandora's box. Rumpy says, "You switched them." Pan says, "Follow the Lady. Still having trouble believing? In Neverland, all you have to do is think of something to have it, even something fake. But the real one -- well, let's see what it can do." I scream at Rumpy to think he has the real box in his hand, but he can't. Pan magically activates the real one. Rumpy turns into red mist and is sucked into the box as Pan says, "You had your chance. The choice was yours." Commercial.
The Shadow returns Rumpy to the Enchanted Forest village. The boy knocks on the spinsters' door. They take one look at the poor little thing and take him in. As they tuck him in, he tells them that his father used the bean. He left and he's never coming back. The ladies assure him he'll always have them. They tell him to rest, and later they'll spin. One of the spinsters asks where Rumpy's doll is. He tells them he lost it. They say they'll make another for him. "You can give it the same name." Rumpy says, "Peter Pan is gone forever."
