Reply To: Was Rumple a Lost Boy? (spoilers!)

[Slurpeez]

While I’m certainly open to the theory that PP and Rumple are related, perhaps even brothers, I’m also considering a slightly more straightforward explanation. I’m inclined to think that the blue coat clad doll made from straw is associated with Baelfire. After all, Baelfire was wearing a navy blue coat when he left Captain Hook in 2×22. If Rumple has ever been in NL, I believe it was as an adult when he was searching for Bae after the events of “The Return” when he intially lost him, and Rumple has seen that doll before, which is why Rumple openly wept since he is mourning the loss of his son all over again.

Here’s an image of the jacket Baelfire was wearing in “And Straight on ‘Til Morning.” The doll was in a blue jacket, so perhaps it really is a Voodoo doll of Bae which is another of PP’s torture devices.
