Yeah I know what you mean, Belle.
-Ok, so you texting with your mobile phone, altough it is not allowed and killed almost a man on the road, but be not afraid I’m the sheriff and I only give you warning. –
I mean she grew up in our world and should know that what she does was absolutely wrong and stupid. I mean, if he wouldn’t hit Hook, there were somebody, who made this man a process. If the Mendell saw magic. I think you can tell him that he thinks that he saw something, because of a trauma caused by the accident.
But that crap of Emma would make anybody suspicious. I hope the man is from another land. In the moment my guess would be a professor or somebody who want to discover things, because of his name Greg Mendell, who made in real live studies of genetics, so this leads me to OZ.
Also I think the name Rumpel “Holme” stiltskin is also a hint to Gregor Mendell, who was for the cover of his book photographed by James King-Holmes.
There were so many genetics themes in their, like Rumpel with the orb to find his son. The whole episode was about science and family and in the end they go to a journey to find Bealfire. I mean for me their are so many hints that there will be more revealed when they find Bea. Rumpel will not only find his son. He will find his grandson and will be ashamed to threaten him, altough he was desperate to get somebody to protect Belle. His anger couldn’t allow him to ask: “Hey, I know you and your family. Your good in watching for everybody. Belle don’t let me watch over her. Please take care of her, because I only hurt her? I have to find my son and then I can be the man that help Belle, because if I stay I will be complete lost to the Beast I am, when she or my son is not around.”
Heros don't get their Happy Ending!
