I agree, undoing can be the undoing of the Dark one, not the death of Rumplestiltskin. I will stick with this theory because I refuse to believe that they will kill Rumple seeing as he is such a popular character. The show will jump the shark if that does happen, at least this early in the show. I need to believe this. I don’t think true love’s kiss works on this curse. Belle already tried it and though it worked for a second it came right back because Rumple did not want to give it up. He has been with Belle for a while now and he still is holding on to it. Even with Bae, he still was offering to use magic . Things need to happen to finally make him see that he needs to let it go and I think that is where Henry will come in. It also does not mean that it will be Henry himself, stuff will happen that will lead to this undoing, meaning it will involve Henry.

¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
February 18, 2013 at 6:59 am #173978angiebelleParticipantI was all nervous when I heard there was going to be a shocker at the end of this episode…but I agree with what has been said. I don’t think this prophecy is necessarily a bad thing. For one, I don’t think Rumple could kill his own grandson…for another undoing, as others have stated, could just mean the end of the Dark One but not the end of Rumple himself. Maybe it means hope for redemption.
February 18, 2013 at 7:57 am #173988spinninggoldParticipantOk, theory… Rumple brought magic into Storybrooke, so maybe he can take it out of it again too. And perhaps that’s the sacrifice, which Henry or Henry’s situation will point out to him. I mean Bae is gonna get a lot of family all at once, and I think he will fight for them.
Actually I can’t wait for a grandad / granson moment between Henry and Rumpel. They have such chemistry. Rumple can’t want to kill him, he just can’t. It would make him all evil… and he isn’t. Right? It would break my heart if the writers did that.
February 18, 2013 at 9:27 am #173998pjlshinypennyParticipantWho’s to say he’s the dark one now. Remember they said magic works differently here. The dagger could be no more a threat to controlling Rumple as any other dagger. The love for Henry as his grandson could what really undoes the curse and still leave his magic in tack. What makes you good? What makes you evil? It is your action. The curse is already started to be broke. He would have killed Hook but didn’t. He could have killed the stranger but didn’t. It seems his actions are speaking louder than words. He could have taken the coward’s way out when Emma came back and said Bae got away but he didn’t that seems to be pretty brave to me. I still think it is love the will undo the curse not the curse Regina started but Rumple’s curse and I truely think that is the curse the Seer was talking about. But Who’s to say.

We have seen him pretty much all evil when he’s in his green lizard look. But we havent seen him like that in Storybrook…yet..
I would love to see him try to kill Henry.. but wouldn’t want him succeeding. It’d be interesting too see if they can take him that far and if the viewers will still be able to forgive him.February 18, 2013 at 10:40 am #174017swanning-offParticipant@RumplesGirl wrote:
The Seer was very nonspecific in all her prophecies, leaving out those pesky details. Gold may think it’s Henry but that may not be what she saw!
Which reflects the troubles of separating the will bes from the could bes, I guess.
the boy who led you to your son will be your undoing.
So what are the variables?
The boy. Could be Henry. Could be Pinocchio. Both played their part in bringing Emma to Storybrooke, So did Nealfire, in a round about way.
Your undoing. Rumple has clearly interpreted this as his ending, his death. But as others have pointed out, it could mean the undoing of his curse – but are they both the same thing? Yes if his curse is ended by being stabbed by the dagger by, say…. Cora or Hook. But not if his curse is broken by true love’s kiss. Now, fly in that ointment? Belle’s amnesia.
Carry on OUaT writers. I’m looking forward to this 🙂
February 18, 2013 at 1:24 pm #174033RumplesGirlKeymasterThe undoing could also be the undoing of all the magic wrought because of Rumple, like the boundary or even allowing everyone to go home. I think it would be awesome if Henry is what allows everyone to go home.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"February 18, 2013 at 2:58 pm #174061PriceofMagicParticipantI think it will be Rumple’s love for Henry that is his undoing rather than Henry doing something. Henry’s going to end up in danger, and it is Rumple’s love for Henry that is going to prevent him from just walking away and leaving Henry to his fate.
I agree that Rumple’s undoing is probably going to be about being the dark one rather than Rumple’s death. The seer’s predictions are very vague and can leave a lot of room for interpretation. Considering this show is meant to be about hope, it would be a rather grim fate if the prediction about Rumple and Henry resulted in one of their deaths.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixFebruary 18, 2013 at 3:28 pm #174073NobodyParticipantWell, we can sit and talk about what we think the prophesy means but it only matters how Rumple interpreted it. Whether it means his death or his loss of power he is not going to take either well. Either which way if Rumple chooses to act on his beliefs then it will come true. I personally prefer loss of magic over death because Rumple’s my favorite. Now, do we think he actually will risk Bae’s love by killing his grandchild? He has spent centuries trying to find Bae. The entire show is built around him and Bae being reunited.
