I do not think Rumpel knew that Henry would be okay. I don’t think he cared at all about Henry only about regaining his magic and leaving town.
Ah, for once I disagree, hjbau, my forum friend. We so seldom disagree. But on this one, I think Mr. Gold’s confidence in knowing the outcomes has increased with the life of the show this season, and I do think he knew Henry would be okay, I don’t think he just said that to lie. I mean why say anything at all, once he had the potion? He knew before Emma walked into his shop what she and Regina were there for. He had the sword ready. I am interested to re-watch them all during the hiatus, knowing what we know now. I think it provide some alternate perspectives. 🙂
