Okay, I concede. 🙂
Anyway, about the DaddyPan theory, I also got the feeling that Rumple knows exactly who PP is. Rumple said about PP, “Trust me, whatever he’s promised, he will go back on his word.” That implied PP went back on a promise he made to Rumple. This seems like something Malcolm would’ve done to his son, by breaking a promise he made to Rumple. That would again mirror how Rumple broke a deal with his son, Bae. Nasty family habits repeat. “The sins of the father visit up on the son” and all that.
