Could it be the case that Pan is actually the boy from Rumple’s Prophecy? It always seemed like Henry was going to be the one to be Rumple’s undoing because that is what Rumple believed but after this episode, I’m inclined to think that actually it is Pan who is the Boy…because Pan is ultimately a boy, forever a boy.
I’ve always been suspicious that Henry was actually the boy from the prophecy. Henry was just too neat and I think it’s important that it was always Rumple who thought it was but evidence kept directing us away from Henry.
I think the boy in the prophecy is Peter pan, especially now that we know PP is Rumple’s father which makes the undoing even more sad. Malcolm set Rumple down a path of loneliness and abandonment and now he is his son’s undoing! Sad indeed.
I still think that undoing means losing the Dark One’s powers, which will happen in the future. I don’t think being up in the box is the undoing.
