    Isn’t that what happened at the end of 3A?

    I’ve never believed that it was possible for Rumple to fatally stab both Pan/Malcolm and himself. Like, the human body is not 2-D. That dagger is not that long. But there’s a difference here. Wish Rumple is the Dark One, only he apparently has no dagger. He’s still the Dark One. So what happens if one Dark One stabs another with the Dark One dagger?

    Dark One-ception.

    It’s a dark one inside a dark one.

    He begins two times the dark one.

    Yeah, it confused me, too, but I think, ultimately, it was still longer than the distance between Pan’s back and his front.

    Rumpel stabbing himself has always been a plothole that’s bothered me. But the whole thing is:

    Rumpel stabs himself, but, since he uses Pan as a proxy, Pan becomes the Dark One.
    Rumpel stabs Pan, making himself the Dark One.

    Since it’s the same action, the Dagger is trapped in a paradox. To resolve the paradox, both individuals are killed, and the Dagger vanishes. Pan is never recognized as the new Dark One, so the Vault resurrects Rumpel, the last Dark One before the paradox.

    I have heard one explanation that Pan’s immortality is broken, when Rumpel dies, and that’s why he turns back into Stephen Lord, but I don’t think that was ever explicitly stated (unless it’s in a commentary or a writer’s tweet). This also doesn’t exactly explain how Pan was once again Robbie Kay in Hades.
