Reply To: Rumple's Undoing

Eddy Kitsis confirmed in Journey to Neverland that the boy was in fact Henry.

I’ve always maintained that Rumple’s undoing will be the end of the Dark One’s curse via him sacrificing his life for Henry’s and that’s why the dagger will be used.  Rumple believes that in killing Pan he will die so he is in fact sacrificing himself for another.   He is the Beast after all at has to transform at some point.  Daniel brought this up in discussion this past February here in this link:

I don’t think Rumple will lose his powers though, he’ll only transform to a decent man.  If Regina was able to learn magic and acquire it through study, surely this is a skill Rumple will maintain.  Thus his undoing is not the loss of power, rather, it is the loss of the Dark One’s soul, his curse.
