406 : Title

I believe this relates to Elizabeth Mitchell’s character, since my current theory on her is that she’s Elsa & Ana’s mom and the original Snow Queen.

Surprised they were able to bring Mario Van Peebles back. Even though one of the writers puts me off (Kalinda), this looks like an episode I’ll be looking forward to (besides 4×02 and 4×03, because Jane wins and I’m curious to see how they’re bringing Will in)

Directed once again by Mario Van Peebles. He directed “It’s Not Easy Being Green,” from season 3.

Ah ha, I think the title for 4×06 makes a lot of sense now.
4×06 we will meet Belle’s mom and it was hinted at SDCC, that Henry would get involved in the ‘family business.’

Will Henry bond with Rumple?

Eddy: “We might see Henry entering the family business. I think Mr.Gold looks upon Henry and sees this is my son’s child and I think he has a deeper affection. Because we saw last year, although he might be a difficult man to love with weaknesses, when time came to save his grandson, he did the right thing and sacrificed himself.”

I think, that this is the episode we will not only see Henry and Rumple bonding, but maybe Henry finding the real dagger in his shop and then bringing it to Belle’s attention and in the flashback, we learn where Belle learns not to give up on people that you love: from her mother.

I think what will happen is that Belle will be initially furious with Rumple for lying to her (as she should be) but possibly by episode’s end, come to realize as angry as she is with him, she can’t give up on him but the relationship will continue to be a rocky one going forward. Rumple will have to earn back Belle’s trust.
