I don’t see why they had to resolve the daniel/monster problem in this episode, or whales arm? they could have let both play out a little longer (tortured regina a little longer? ).
I think fixing Whale’s arm was a deliberate contrast to last week’s episode. Gold healed Whale almost for free. Is he feeling remorse for what he did to Hook?
Wow, that’s a very interesting observation. It would be lovely if Mr. Gold as trying to become less ruthless with his deals in effort to change for Belle.
