‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3 spoilers: Lumiere’s arrival, and a Neal-centric story

Have you been wondering where Neal has been on “Once Upon a Time” season 3 so far? Well, you are definitely not alone in your inquisitive nature, and we come now bearing the gift of a little more information about both his arrival in Storybrooke, but also what he was up to during the time he was stuck back in the fairy tale world.

As you know from the promo that we posted yesterday, this episode is entitled “Quiet Minds,” and features more of the battle between Regina and Zelena; but for the most part, Michael Raymond-James’ character is the one that is at the forefront of the official synopsis that was released today by ABC:

“Neal finds himself back in Storybrooke and yearns for a way to reconnect with his son Henry, whose memories of his father are gone, while also trying to find his own father, Rumplestiltskin, whom he has just learned is alive but missing, and Regina discovers a possible connection with Robin Hood. Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was over the past year, agonizing over the death of his father, Neal – with the help of Belle and enchanted candelabra Lumiere – attempts to find a magical solution to bring back Rumplestiltskin from the dead.”

We imagine this being a pretty darn frustrating situation for Neal to be in, mostly because there is nothing that he would probably love more than having an opportunity to communicate with his son. Unfortunately for him, that option is not going to be very well accessible to him unless he poses as a “friend” of Emma’s or makes up some other sort of lie for the time being. It’s also nice to see Lumiere for one, and also more opportunities to see that he has now changed his stance on his father.
