*sigh*
Rumple hurting children was actually pretty taboo at one point. Also, whenever he bargained for children, it wasn’t actually the child he wanted. It was an elaborate set up. Regina was the exception but that played into his over all storyline of the Dark Curse and Bae.
I don’t know. There’s some pathos in what Rumple says and does in this peek that reveals the man behind the beast again (and about a child which is keeping with his original characterization) but…I’m so meh about Rumple, Rumbelle, and this season as a whole that this scene only adds to the idea that the writers are just writing for the sake of writing and not with any clear intention in mind.
