SAVING RUMPLE

So we know from the recent clips that Rumple is on his way out the door, but here’s hoping someone swoops in with a magical cure and saves him.

My thoughts:

1) True loves kiss – this could come from Belle or Baelfire/Neal. Since Belle doesn’t have her memories, I think Nealfire is more likely.

2) Emma – her magic is still very vague, but I would never bet against this girl.

3) Dark Snow – Maybe the candle from “The Queen is Dead” will come into play again.

How do you think it will be done?

First I don’t think it will be true loves kiss. Rumple has been poisoned not cursed, if that was possible young Snow would have been able to save her mother. So Belle and Bae are out. It will either be Emma using magic, Snow with the candle taking Cora’s life (I think Cora will be dying in this episode) or if for some miracle Regina snaps out of it realizes her mother is just using her and helps by healing Rumple because dark magic can heal too, ex. Rumple healing Belle’s wound.

My friend thought it would be the candle and at first I disagreed, but now I have changed my mind. I totally think Snow is going to find Cora’s heart and use the candle to exchange Cora’s life for Rumple’s!

My only question about this theory is that if Snow were to indeed find Cora’s heart, all she’d need to do is squeeze it to bring about Cora’s death. There would be no need to involve the candle, unless the only way to save Rumple is to exchange Cora’s life for his by using it. For some reason, I thought that Mr. Gold would instruct Emma how to brew him a magical antidote using alchemy to cure the poison. If anyone would know how, it’d be the Dark One.

Rumple isn't going to die. Robert Carlyle has been photographed shooting Storybrooke scenes for future episodes.

My question is from the promo we see Snow looking for the heart at night. But Rumple and the gang arrive during the day which we also see Regina and Cora attack during the day. But nobody knows that Cora ripped her heart out except Hook, I mean both Rumple and Regina thought Cora was dead. Unless Rumple had always known and forgot to tell Regina that little bit of information. So how does Snow know unless the events with Rumple happen first then it is revealed that Cora has her heart missing and Snow goes to look for it. But by then Rumple would have been already dead because he was already near death. Unless he is saved some other way and someone else gets hurts which is why Snow then looks for the heart. But how would she know the location??

Mr. Gold couldn’t be that close to death since he had time to call Belle up to remind her who she is. I think Rumple would be able to communicate to Snow that the only way to defeat Cora is to crush her heart, which she removed from her body. From there, it wouldn’t be too difficult for Snow to guess that Cora is storing her heart in Regina’s family mausoleum.
