Reply To: TVLine 11/15 – Matt's Inside Line – Rumbelle

Makes me wonder if Rumple does once again lose his Dark One powers, but it transfers into their son, making him the Dark One. That could explain why their son ends up in a cloak. Either way, I’m puzzled on how they could logically repair Rumbelle’s relationship at this point.

Hmm yes.  So we know if someone strikes him with the dagger, Rumple will lose his DO one powers to whoever stabbed him.  But perhaps this another way Rumple can lose his power.  When the DO has a child, once that child is born the DO’s powers get transferred to the child.  Or they both are DO’s.
