Emma does deserve to be pissed, although Neal apologized in his lame way. He still owes her some slack on this, though. He needs to tell Henry to cut his mother a break.
Ironically Neal's actions towards Emma are an echo of Rumple's. When he finds out who she is, and that Pinnochio knows who he is and the curse - instead of telling Emma, or taking Emma to Storybrook. He runs away, abandoning her completely. He takes the coward's way out.
He's become the two father figures he despised the most: Hook and Rumple, without intending to.
Hook = a thief/pirate, stealing from others, and letting others take the rap, also a rogue with the ladies, seducing and breaking their hearts.
Rumple = a coward who runs from what he is afraid of, abandoning the person he loves and rationalizing it as someone else's fault or for their own good.
Also his conversation with Rumple is ironic - he tells Rumple the worst thing is to be abandoned - and that in a nutshell is exactly what he did to Emma. He left Emma in a prison and pit of despair, broken - just like Rumple did with him.
Similar to Emma/Snow.
Snow gives up Emma - hoping she can have a better life - because she knows she can't have one with her due to the curse.
Emma gives up Henry - hoping he can have a better life - because she knows he can't have one with her.
Also, both Snow and Emma grow up without their biological parents. And Henry ends up with Regina in some respects - in the same manner that Snow ended up with Regina.
Regina remember is at least 20-30 years older than Snow. She's Henry's evil Step-Great Grandmother, as Rumple is his evil Grandfather.
Oh and like David - Henry is adopted by an evil royal.
Gotta to appreciate the nifty parallels.
And everyone's in line for the "Emma needs to slug Pinocchio in his wooden nose," party right?
Oh yeah. Actually I want her to do more than that. August deserves a nice pummeling. ;-)
