My thoughts exactly. This is another of the reasons I want Neal to be Bae so bad. Rumple is so used to using those around him as pawns to get what he wants. The only way he could be broken of that (and then have an opportunity at redemption) is for his schemes to severely hurt someone he cares about…and it would have to be in a way that he couldn’t find a way to blame someone else (like with Bell’s dad).
Not only would the things he did to Henry cut him deeply, but once it hits him that the one person who has arguably been manipulative the most by his plot (Emma) was the one thing that meant the most to Bae…
Poor Rumple…but i’m going to enjoy this.
