So I think one of the callers (Belle) brought up an interesting idea/thought from last week’s podcast.
The issue that I am addressing is the fact that Rumpelstilskin may have had Regina carry out the curse because Rumpel would be unable to kill the thing that he loves the most.
Now, I think this can play out in various ways and open many doors when it comes to plot.
I unfortunately don’t see Rumpelstilskin making it to the end of the series due to the emphasis on having to kill the dark one with a dagger in episode 1.08, and I truly believe that if it ever came to the point where Rumple had to die for either Belle or Bae, that he would gladly do so.
But why bring this up? Well, I think that if these two figures ever came in harms way that Rumpel would choose them over his power, and I think this is a card the Regina knows that she has. I think the the potluck in this game has went up a bit now that magic is being introduced into the story again, and I could see Emma’s favor either being Emma killing him (before Regina does) or something as equally dramatic.
Sacrifice is a consistent and major theme of this show….
Thoughts, speculations, theories? 🙂
