I’m going to say it again: it doesn’t make sense…..the death of Neal was the downfall. I didn’t believe it, but it’s true. No one learns.
Rumple: I do what I want. You might have thought I stayed the DO to find my son, but that was a lie. I like power, because I used to be a coward. In reality I am still a coward because I can’t be a normal man and wake my true love. So I’m going to take this shiny stick an rule the world. Zeus can’t do anything because I have a pointy glowing nub.
