On another thing you said Storyteller, about whether Rumpel underestimates Regina? I think Pan definitely did, but Rumple looked proud of her. I think they all underestimate each other at times. That is why it is an ensemble story, where the focus might shift from one character to another depending on the particular episode.
At the end of the episode Rumple did say, “he’s ok Regina. You raised him well.” I think he is proud of Regina.
