I think you just outlined the entire episode! 😆 Very good theories, and I think you’re right too. Especially about Rumpel marking Hook with the medalion. That would be an interesting twist on how Hook lost his hand. And I’d be interested to see if Belle ever knew Hook or Smee before she was kidnapped. Maybe Hook did have something to do with it.
lol, I think slurpeez totally outlined the entire episode too.
I especially like the part about how Hook delivering Belle to Regina. I would hope that there was more to that throwaway scene in “Dreamy” especially as many fans, at least on the Internet, feel that is one of the worst episodes because “nothing happened”, and Hook meeting Belle at the tavern totally makes sense. Plus, it’s another parallel/contrast between Milah(*) and Belle then.
I wonder what happened to Milah then if she went off to Neverland with Hook. I really hope that she doesn’t come back, not because I think she’d be any threat to Rumbelle, but because there’s already so much parent drama going on especially if Bae turns out to be Henry’s father that I don’t really think they need to bring back Milah again. Plus, if they brought her back later on to face Bae and if there’s a possibility that Hook is really Bae’s father, then I think it puts too much focus on Bae rather than Emma. Not that he’s not a major player in the story, but that might be a little too much to have his mom come back, and potentially his biological dad come back, and also have to deal with his other father drama and his other father’s new girlfriend.
So I like Josephine’s idea since it makes Milah look a little bit more sympathetic and because it solves the problem of the family drama being on Bae instead of Henry and Emma, which is just having her come to regret her decision to leave her child, and then trying to go back but either Hook kills her during an argument or she gets killed when trying to go back to her home.
*-I wonder if she was supposed to be Milah all along and the casting call spelled the name wrong or the synopsis and casting sheet spelled her name wrong. I would think the former because the casting calls often try to fool fans by using fake names for upcoming characters. Plus, Milah sounds more like Miller to me than Milha does if the theory is true that Rumple targeted Cora or Regina’s father because they might have been related to Milah. (Of course, I don’t like that theory either because then Bae and Regina would be related in some way, and that’s too easy of a way out to have Regina not be able to seduce Bae because I know if they’re not related she will, not that it will work, but it won’t stop her from trying.)
