All told, Horowitz says the episode “The Outsider” — guest-starring Ethan Embry (Can’t Hardly Wait) as the titular “test subject” Mr. Gold uses to experiment with the town line’s memory-sapping qualities —
How on earth does that work, if Ethan’s character is some random who comes barreling into town? Or have we got his role in this all wrong? It has been stated that he’s coming from our world into SB, right? So a) he’s not a textbook cursed SBer case, and 2) he’s not someone Rumple would know. Or am I mis-remembering the spoilers? This ep needs to air already to save me from confusion. 😛
