on regina running away and meeting the dark one: i can see this happening. and we could see more of rumple being a father figure. because when all is said and done i think that he and regina do have an interesting mentour relationship in storybrooke.
what i really want to know is: how did it get in rumple and regina’s relationship from teacher and student (episodes such as we are both, the doctor, quite a common fairy, and possibly even the evil queen though i am not sure) to skin deep where she is actively working against rumple and wants him powerless. i think there is a missing link here somewhere can someone illuminate this?
Ooh me too, OD. Perhaps she found out that Rumple was behind the whole “raise Daniel from the dead fake out” and turning her into his monster. In 3×6, Regina says to Rumple: “You’re not going to die by any one’s hands, but my own.” after Rumple points out that he can only stop Pan by dying. So whatever it was, she still wants payback. Regina & Rumple haven’t had their final battle yet. More proof for why Rumple can’t be dead, just lost.
Nothing is impossible on OUAT. Everything has a way of repeating itself. Keeper of the Keeper tread: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/official-keeper-thread-3/#post-217924
