I wonder if Blue dismisses the power of True Love. She seems kind of against it. She said fairies don’t fall in love. If she’s never fallen in love, does she really know the power of it. Plus, “True Love” is the most powerful magic of all–meaning that it’s more powerful than even Blue’s magic.
Notice that it was only after the Belle debacle that Rumple seemed to cotton on to the power of “True Love”. Remember he traveled down many roads trying to find a way to come to the world where his son was. He sought magic slippers and beans and anything else that he learned of. He had hundreds of years of life but only after he had first hand experience of the power of true love did he try to go out and capture it. His own “brief flicker of light” was extinguished (or so he thought) so he sought out another couple, Snowing, to use for his master plan. He knew the power of true love and knew it was a key to getting what he wanted.
I think Blue doesn’t really understand, or maybe she just doesn’t like that true love is more powerful than her magic. She didn’t like Dark One! Rumple because his magic didn’t belong there.
I do keep coming back that the Enchanted Forest was dying. I joke about Blue, but maybe she’s the ultimate puppetmaster and wanted everyone gone because the Enchanted Forest was dying. There were no more enchanted trees, the beans were missing and no more to be found, and the mines were closed. So that all makes me suspect she knows something that nobody else does.
Like I’ve said before, I’ll probably continue to distrust Sneaky Fairy until the last episode of the series. Once I distrust someone, it’s hard to change my opinion.
