Okay, I’m calling it…! (Season 2) [SPOILERS]

I call that Rumpel won’t take his revenge on Regina for what she did to Belle until towards the end of the season.

Rumpel’s got a plan which he set in motion before Belle turned up. Rumpel will want to make Regina pays for what she did, however, he is a patient man, and he would want to make sure his plan is successful before he takes his revenge.

At the moment, Regina doesn’t know Rumpel has Belle so she probably thinks she still has a bargaining chip in regards to him. Her alliance with Jefferson is broken so unless he reveals that he released Belle and told her to find Rumpel, Regina is probably going to think she can get Rumpel to play for her side. All Rumpel needs to do is make out he’s Regina’s ally and ensure that Belle is out of sight then he’s in prime position to screw Regina over.

I second all of this. 😉

I also second A Chipped Cup’s theory as well. 😀

Oz will come into play next season. Regina will be noticeably quiet for the first few episodes (maybe a few scenes of her traveling, but nothing really to work with) until (mid-season finale?). Then, during some sort of outdoor festival or party, the flying monkeys that were pictured in Henry’s book first episode will descend upon Storybrooke and carry Henry away. Regina has been busy making new allies in Oz and we cut to Emma, Jefferson, August, and (….someone else? ) ready to enter the Oz door.

I might need to add to my first theory that bringing magic to Storybrooke has weakened the borders between the different worlds: something that is going to become a huge issue for our world as the season(s) goes by.

^THIS. I’ve been wondering about the strength of the borders between the worlds for quite some time now. A curse as powerful as the Dark Curse would have seriously damaged the lines between our reality and the next. I hope we get more insight into that next season. That might be the “final battle” that Rumpel was talking about. Why would Rumpel want to fight an Apocalyspe immediately after he finds his son? He made the curse so that he could find his son, so why would he attach an Apocalypse onto it? It makes no sense. But I could easily see the bleeding of worlds into one another as the big “final battle” that he referring to. That definitely sounds definitely sounds like an Apocalypse.

Thank God I wasn’t the only thinking this. You’re absolutely right. The main objective of the curse is to find Baelfire. That’s the real reason why the curse was created and put into place. So, if Rumpel’s main objective is to find his son, then why would then turn around and create a magical World War III? Rumpel wants to be reunited with his son so that he can have his “happy ending,” and a big finale battle between good and evil doesn’t sound practical to me.

I think Midnight Dreary and Lil’Red are definitely onto something. In the end, the fight won’t between Rumpel, Regina and The Charmings, it will be between all the different worlds and dimentions. I think that’s the real reason why the writers introduced the concept of different worlds in “Hat Trick.” It was setting us up for what’s come in the future.

Great theories everyone! I’d also like to add that the real reason why Rumpel brought magic into the world is because he knows that the lines between each reality are fading and that impending war is certain. So, in an effort to defend this reality, he brought magic into the world so that Storybrooke would have a line of defense against all the different worlds. Because when you really think about it, why would Rumpel want more power? We saw in “The Return” that he was ready to give up his powers and lust for magic. He gave August the dagger to show him just how sincere his intentions were. So, why would he all of a sudden do a complete 180 and decide to go after more power? It dosn’t make any sense. And I also don’t think that Rumpel needs magic to find his son. Unless Baelfire is trapped in some mystical tomb burried miles under the Earth, than magic is not needed for this task.

So, with those theories discredited, what’s left? I think Lil’Red and Midnight Dreary are correct in their assessment that the worlds are probably slowly dissolving and seeping into one another. And if that’s the case, then magic is going to be needed in order to defend Storybrooke. The complete dissolution of all worlds and dimensions is definitely Apocalyptic.

I also believe that the 20 doors inside of Jefferson’s hat will be the main players in the final battle. Those will be the worlds who’ll “take the battlefield”

^I second everything that has been said on this page.

I think that action is only suited to a supporting role in this series. This is a puzzle show with a strong character component, an intertwined set of relationship mysteries. Regina’s smile is far more menacing than an army of ogres could ever be.

^Exactly. I really like this theory. I’d hate for the final battle to only be about Rumpel, Regina and the Charmings. It’s called the FINAL BATTLE. Why would the FINAL BATTLE include only Storybrooke and Fairytale land? This is supposed to be the ultimate battle that ends everything. That’s why it’s called the FINAL BATTLE.

More players need to be introduced. More worlds need to be involved. The idea that the final battle takes place all because of Regina’s hatred of Snow is simply ridiculous. This needs to end on a much bigger note. The show introduced the concept of mutliple other worlds and dimensions for a reason. These worlds shouldn’t just be explored in one or two filler episodes, they need to be brought into the main plot.

And as for Regina’s smile at the end of the finale, that could mean anything. Just because Regina thinks that she’ll be able to use the new magic doesn’t exactly mean that she will be able to use it. This is Rumpel we’re talking about, and if he doesn’t want you to have something, than you’re not going to have it.

I love this theory, y’all. The story’s going to be epic if it takes this direction! And, on a Rumplefan-selfish note, it justifies the trick Gold played on Emma and the huge rush he put on Belle. I could forgive him his failure to kiss Belle if his urgency issued from his need to defend SB. Ever since the finale, I ‘ve been wishing that instead of “magic is power” Gold had said “magic is protection” –but I was thinking the protection would be against Regina. I was thinking too small! Boy oh boy, I want this theory to be true even more than I wanted August to be Bae–and that’s going some.
