It seemed like Emma actually succeeded in making a magic hat that transported Jefferson out of SB. Since Mr. Gold said Emma is more powerful that she knows to her face and told Regina Emma’s more resourceful than expected, I’m thinking he wants Emma to realize her full potential magically. But, because he’s so subtle, he won’t spell it out for Emma but will let her come to it on her own. Perhaps she has to be the one to figure it out by seeing (as August said to Henry) for the magic to work. It was Mr. Gold who encouraged her to become sheriff in the first place. Also, he planted a key in MM’s cell, which means he must’ve known Emma would go after her, encounter Jefferson, and the whole incident with that hat would trigger Emma’s belief in magic. I’m left wondering if it’s really Mr. Gold’s intention to rid the world of magic or to restore magic. I’m not sure why Mr. Gold would encourage Emma on the one hand, but then try to undermine her. I think Mr. Gold wants Emma not just to have power as a sheriff, but for her to realize her true identity and potential for magic. Not only were we left wondering if Jefferson really did get transported out of SB via a magical hat, but we’re also left wondering how on earth MM managed to return to her jail cell just as the tower clock struck 8, so as to tick off Regina. How could MM have been gone from outside Jefferson’s house as clock first struck 8 and then appear in the jail cell just in time? Magic?
