Okaaay? That’s sort of an odd title. But as predicted, it’s most likely a Regina episode. In fact, I’ll lay down some cookies that it’s Regina/Robin centric in the present day and Guinevere and Lancelot in the past.
In Arthurian legend, the Siege Perilous (also known as The Perilous Seat) is a vacant seat at the Round Table reserved by Merlin for the knight who would one day be successful in the quest for the Holy Grail.

Well the knight who succeed in finding the Grail was usually Galahad. He was considered the true perfect knight.
ETA: though sometimes it’s Perceval (Percival) and given that they’ve already cast that Knight, maybe they’re using him.

I’m going with Percy (yeah, that’s going to be my nickname for him), since like you mentioned, they already cast him.

Percy, eh? Works. Arthur is already Art; Lancelot is Lance and Guinevere is Gwen. Galahad would have been Gal and that’s reserved for Galavant so it’s better that we go with Percy.
Doesn’t Rumple have the holy grail though? In Skin Deep? He takes it off the pedestal to put the chipped cup in its place.

He probably traded it or something. OR they’ll say that it was a fake this whole time and Rumple couldn’t tell the difference or something.
Do we know if it was the holy grail and not just some golden cup? Was it ever stated to be the grail?

I believe the leaked Skin Deep script floating around on the internet referred to it as the Holy Grail. Jane Espenson also reportedly said it was the Holy Grail on the DVD commentary for Skin Deep. However, it was never stated on the show itself. I think it could be like how Rumple had a hat that looked like the Sorcerer’s hat from Fantasia and was intentionally written that way as just an easter egg, but later on it turned out to not be the actual Sorcerer’s hat.
