This confused me also. I have several questions: Was the Morpheus dream child the adult “dark” version of Gideon? Why else would he encourage Belle to send him off with the fairies? Did Rumple say she was a dark shadow? So maybe she is the original shadow from Neverland and that is where she met Malcolm. Malcolm went to Neverland because he use to visit it in his dreams. What does the Dark Fairy do with the children and why does she steal them in the first place? What is her ultimate goal for Gideon? Does she just want him because he is her grandson? I still think she and Blue might be the same person, which would make sense of why Blue gave Bae the bean. Maybe she originally thought Bae would work for whatever plan she had but since he was not conceived while Rumple was dark one he wouldn’t work ? Hopefully they will answer all the questions and more.
