He also calls Pan a demon and makes it clear he knows Pan is capable of amazing, awful things. While Malcolm was certain NOT a good dad and broke Rumple’s heart, we saw no sign of those amazing, awful things in this episode.
Another thing I’m musing over: A few episodes ago, Pan asserted (and it seemed Rumple agreed) that killing him would also be the end of Rumble.
But why? It would mean killing his own father, and that’s awful, but why would it have that effect?
Or is there some connection between Pan and the Shadow and the magic of the Dark One after all?
