I actually see Mr. Gold reigning supreme in season 2. I think he’ll manage to temporarily defeat Regina in the finale by revealing some sort of information about the curse or managaing to get Emma and Mary Margaret on his side. But even scarier? I could actually see him as the next mayor. 😯 But I hope that’s not the case. I like having Mr. Gold be the ominous figure who lurks in the background while secretly manipulating everyone behind the scenes. It makes accomplishing his goals (whatever those are) much easier. 😉
