My faith that Rumple is the most powerful wizard in all the realms is slowly fading. First Peter, and now Zelena.
If Rumple was able to summon his dagger from the shadow, he should be able to summon it the moment Zelena puts it down. She certainly can’t hold that thing 24-7.
Clearly, at this dinner, Zelena is telling Rumple her plan to change the past and claim what she thinks is rightfully hers. He knows what’s at stake here.
If Rumple doesn’t gain the upper hand by the end of this “intimate” dinner date, then my faith in his powers of manipulation, and in the Dark One’s powers is fading fast.
I know she’s controlling him, but come on. Everything we know about him tells us he should be stronger and more cunning than she is.
