The only way to stop Pan was forRumpelstiltskin to sacrifice himself.
So thats what he did.
His sacrifice was themost noble and heroic thing audiences had ever seen Rumpelstiltskin do.
It was the price of magic that was required for Pans death.
This means that Rumpelstiltskins return to the show paints the question of why Pan didnt return too.
Pan eventually returned for three episodes in season five of the show, as well as a voice-over appearance.

When he was defeated in season 5, it was a lot easier than the first time around.
This happened with both Emma andHook when they became Dark Ones.
Cora’s return to Once Upon a Time season 5 was underwhelming and disappointing.
Once Upon a Time is an adventure fantasy-drama series created for ABC that features fairy tale characters and their Disney incarnations in a modern setting. When Emma Swan and her son Henry accidentally drive into the town of Storybrooke, they soon discover the inhabitants are those from fairy tales, and they have no knowledge of the modern world inhabited by Emma and Henry. Robbed of their pasts and given new identities by the Evil Queen known as Regina, the hope of the town’s residents lie solely in the hands of Emma, who has stronger connections to the town than she knows.
She had the potential to help the heroes defeat Hades but she didn’t.
After seeing Hades in season five, its clear hed never willingly allow a soul to leave The Underworld.
