On Barbara Barnett’s latest episode of her radio show, she teased 302 a little bit. Here is a brief summary of what I got out of it: – The doll is not a voodoo doll, and it is an item that has emotional significance to him. We will find out the origin of the doll in this episode.
– She teases that Rumple had been in Neverland before, and that it’s likely he was there as a boy. She adds that Rumple was touched by magic prior to becoming the Dark One, which she heavily implies comes from her knowledge of what happens in this episode.
– Rumple’s dad is apparently mentioned and having abandoned Rumple, which Barbara at first thought was a new spoiler. This means we’ll likely get some new information related to this topic in this episode.
– She teases the Rumbelle moment that everyone else has already teased, and that it is glorious, scary and poignant. Sets up a lot for Rumple’s upcoming character arc. This is a lengthy scene, and it is longer than the Rumbelle moment in The Miller’s Daughter.
– There’s a very cool, bizarre and weird shadow moment.
Oh boy this Episode is going rock. This also might build on the theory that Pan and Rumple were brothers. Also a glorious but yet scary Rumbelle moment….What happens, Rumple turns back into the Dark One or something. Either that or Lacey shows up (Shivers for a moment) Anyway wow. I bet that doll was Rumples and his dad gave it to him. Finally the shadow, I really want to know if it Peter’s or someone elses… like a great evils perhaps. Anyway can’t wait!
