The thing that I believe makes TLK work is sacrificial love.
I don’t disagree and I think you’re right but given that Rumple is still casually murdering (Pan) and seems content with his dagger, which he happens to really really really love, how is it EVER going to work (with just a few handful of episodes left and other plot thingys coming. It’ll be fast and underwhelming at this point)
