Something I just thought of though, unless Emma or Henry uses magic to heal Mr. Gold, they could trade Cora’s life for his with the candle. I didn’t notice it (will rewatch tomorrow!) But does Snow still have the candle? Read on here someone assumed she does.
That is brilliant!
Snow doesn’t have to crush the heart. Remember what Cora (as the Blue Fairy) said to her?
“You must hold the candle over the heart of your sacrifice…”
But who keeps their heart in a box? Unless there’s a minor twist, the only person we know who is currently keeping their heart outside their body is Cora. I’m guessing Snow finds Cora’s heart, and trades her life for Gold’s.
Regardless of what happens, I wonder if Gold will think he's cheated death and the prophesy…or if he'll recover and still go after Henry. Which would…suck.
Of course, if Cora dies this way, then Regina will have even more reason to hate Snow. 😥
