Uh, they didn't fool and trick Gold, they stated what happened and it was up to him to believe or not Neal wouldn't survive a gunshot in a random land.  |
Just because they didn't fool and trick Gold doesn't mean Gold would still believe so when he sees Neal come back. Remember, the reason he found himself committed to their cause was to honor his son who'd been despised him. If he hadn't been told of Neal's death, he would've stayed in SB with Belle, full of happiness, no undoing. His life and fate could've changed.
