Sneaky Fairy is sneaky. I posted this in another thread outlining all the sneaky stuff that Blue has done. There could be more but this is what immediately came to mind:
-Shows up to Morraine and plants the seed in Bae’s mind
-Has one magic bean left tSo give to the Dark One and his child
-Lies about the tree
-De-ages August just as he’s about to talk and wipes his memories
-Nasty to Tink
-Mysteriously has the black fairy’s wand
Recycling the idea of a parent going to great lengths to get their child back, she could have sent all the events in motion for Rumple to become the Dark One, send Bae to our world, the curse, etc. All to get to Lily (if she would be her daughter). She wouldn’t care, being Sneaky, about ruining Rumple’s life and separating him from his child since she was in the same boat. She could rationalize that he’s the Dark One and doesn’t deserve to have his child since she doesn’t have hers. And being a magical being maybe she couldn’t set it all in motion herself. Who knows?? It’s a recycling of Rumple’s search for Bae, but seems like they love recycling storylines. My problem with all this is I’ve lost trust in the writers so it might not mean anything at all.
However, I’m holding onto my Sneaky Fairy is the Evil Puppetmaster of the series till the final episode….if I’m still watching.
