However, he was the reason that Rumple wanted someone to enact the Curse, and there would be a lot of irony in the fact that perhaps Rumple inadvertently saved everyone in FTL since maybe if Bae had stayed there, he would have grown up to be this terrible weapon/leader and destroyed FTL or made everyone’s lives more miserable than even what the Curse did.
Just to mash up a few different ideas that have been proposed….
Let’s say that that’s their endgame reveal, that if Bae had stayed in FTL, he was destined to become some dark force even more powerful than The Dark One. It’s not something they’d reveal now, but perhaps it’s something they’re keeping in the vault for later…
So Blue knows this, and poses as the Seer, as a means to get into Rumple’s head, to set all of this stuff in motion that led to Bae leaving FTL…
A reveal in Manhattan that she was posing as the Seer, and totally played Rumple, would be seen as, “OMG SHE’S THE REAL BIG BAD,” even though she was actually doing it to save FTL from being destroyed by Bae in the long run.
That setup, where her actions look evil to the audience now, even though she’s actually working for the forces of good in the long run, is the kinda thing I was getting at with my previous post. It’d fit the spoiler, and also not make liars out of K&H.
That’s really interesting Phee. And it fits with the “there is no evil nor good on this show, only shades of gray” theme. Blue is working for the greater good but has to do what many of us would consider, if not outright evil, then not good. But it brings up the question of why Blue let the Curse be cast in the first place. If she’s powerful enough to foresee what Bae would become (which is really interesting and something I would never have even considered!) then why couldn’t she see what Rumple was going to do, what Regina would do and stop it. She offered Bae a way out of FLT but she never does the same for Regina, even though Regina/Bae Cora/Rumple dynamic is SO similar. Then what exactly is Blue’s endgame?
