I think the shawl was not only protecting Rumple’s memories, but also his magic. Before he took it off, Emma said she wouldn’t let him forget. I think her magic is what protected his memories while he was not touching the shawl (unconsciously on her part). However, she did not think about protecting his magic (and may not have even if she’d thought about it). That was why he was so surprised when he wasn’t able to use his magic.
Hope I am stating this clearly, my brain’s kind of fuzzy right now (lots going on in RL).So, do you think his magic will be restored when he enters Storybrooke again? Part of me likes the idea that he *unknowingly?* sacrificed his magic to retrieve Bae but it seems to open up a lot of threats and issues for Rumpel..

I’m not sure. Probably no, if I’m right, since memories aren’t restored once the people re-enter Storybrooke.
I think that he only forget that he hasn’t magic in this different lnd, but “LisaFromOH” your explanation would be also a great one. Specially, because I want to know what really happen in this few seconds when his shawl was in the box.

If he’s the one who put up the barriers to his shop to keep Cora out in The Miller’s Daughter then yes…he has his magic back in Storybrook. Would be interesting if he didn’t though…could you imagine the look on Cora’s face trying to command the Dark One and he looks at her and says “I’ve got nothing.”
As for trying to heal himself in the bathroom…I think he knew in his heart he wouldn’t be able to do it but it’s like if the electricity goes out…sometimes you still flip the light switches out of habit. The shock of not being able to heal himself obviously still affected him though.
That’s what I thought LisaFromOH. I think his shawl protected both but Emma only protected his memories because she didn’t realize it protected his magic too. We will just have to see if he gets it back when he goes to Storybrooke.
I’m pretty sure it is a case of magic only exists in Storybrooke, not the rest of our world. He just was trying to will it to work- deep down he probably knew it wouldn’t. I don’t think he lost anything when he took off the shawl for a second. He just got woozy. He’ll have his powers again when he crosses back over the border.
Redemption means regretting ones actions and wanting to make up for them. I’ve yet to seen Rumpelstiltskin do either of those.
The whole episode was of him being scared of seeing Baelfire and of not having his magic. That doesn’t count as redemption. That is him being out of his comfort-zone and needing Emma to help him.

Hope I am stating this clearly, my brain’s kind of fuzzy right now (lots going on in RL).Makes sense to me. They released this scene as a sneak peek, and when I originally saw it, I thought that perhaps Emma making a point of touching the shawl and touching him right after he took it off was her thinking, “I dunno what this magic of mine does exactly, but let’s see if it helps if I touch stuff.” It did come right after Emma looked him dead in the eye and said she wouldn’t let him forget, after all.

But things that contain magic in SB retain them in our world, otherwise the shawl wouldn’t be working. Unless he doesn’t actually need it on him in our world, and he’s just being paranoid, because the only place it was ever being actively magical was right at that spot on the town line? They made a point of putting a blurry effect on him a couple of times right after he took it off though, so I think something did happen to him then. They could have just left it with his facial expressions and movements to convey that he was thrown off balance a bit, but they went to the trouble of adding a special effect. It sorta reminded me of the pulse that goes out when twoo wuv’s kiss breaks a curse.
