I don’t understand why anyone thinks that Rumpel is going to die now. Now that they have replaced Neal with Gideon, they can easily give Rumpel, Belle, and Gideon a happily ever after and send them on their way. I think, of all the characters right now, that Rumpel is the one who is least likely to die because it would be so easy to just write him out.
Of course, anyone could die because this show is ridiculous and the writing doesn’t make sense, a disclaimer that i feel is always true, but i do think that while Bobby might want out, that Rumpel won’t die if he leaves.
