I think that’s it. It’s…insurance. Just in case ABC pulls the plug after this year they want to be able to say that they gave answers to some of the bigger questions that people hound them about (Lily’s father, the Black Fairy, ect). Now I don’t think ABC is going to cancel but…insurance.
Could very well be. I think this could be one of two things. We either see the Black Fairy in this episode, we see why she’s presumably awful and why her wand was taken away and maybe why Rumple hates fairies and then we never see her again. As RG said, it’s insurance in case they get cancelled. Or, we get to see a lot of Black Fairy going forward but that would only be possible if……..Blue Fairy was actually Black Fairy! Obviously I’m hoping for the latter.
