Manhattan room (with “Cleaner and Hatters” sign in the background) of Neal Cassidy (formerly known as “mysterious man”) as seen in episode 2×01 “Broken”
There will be a new episode on Feb. 17, called Manhattan. As you may remember, the beginning of Broken — the first episode of Season 2 — was set in Manhattan, so presumably we will be picking up where we left off then.
More info (warning: potential spoilers) after the jump.

My thoughts:
I think there is very little doubt left that Neal Cassidy is Bae.
Who gave the broken post card to Bae? What happened to Pinocchio? Geppetto went off to his hotel room after Henry told him where he was. The writers left all that up in the air…
I do believe Eion Bailey who played Pinocchio is now on the TNT drama series Trooper. Maybe that is why we have heard nothing regarding Pinocchio after the curse was broken. Will they recast the part?????
We now have an answer — see this post.
For some reason, I’m thinking that it was Mother Superior (the Blue Fairy) who sent the postcard — but now I can’t remember if I actually saw that in the show or if that was just a theory that was circulating online. It makes sense, though, that she would be looking out for Bae.
Looks like it may be a while until we find out what happened to Pinocchio, since he’s not listed in the cast list for either of the next two episodes.
It’s not! It’s Emma’s old boyfriend and Henry’s Dad! Remember – August said if the curse ever gets “BROKEN” then he will send him a postcard! Which he did, in the first episode!
