I can see Bae letting it slip about something that could kill Rumple, however I can also see that he would do it on purpose. Not out of vengeance, but for the greater good. If he learned that Rumple killed Milah he might realize that Rumple has gone too far and must be stopped. However he knows he could never kill his Papa himself, so he tells Hook that there is something that can kill Rumple. However he doesn’t know what his father has done with it, which is why Hook has to seek out Belle to try and find out.

Ohhh, very interesting theory! Normally, I’m not sure how Baelfire could betray his father like that, but just maybe a combo of feeling betrayed by Rumple and hearing how his father murdered his mother in cold blood would be enough to make Bae let it slip in a moment of extreme weakness. If Captain Hook is playing the role of a kind father figure to Bae, he might just be playing on Bae’s vulnerability to wheedle that information out of him. In the cartoon version of Peter Pan, Captain Hook played on Tinker Bell’s sympathies of feeling rejected by Peter so that she gave up the location of Peter’s hideout to Hook.
