In a different sort of twist, Alice refuses to leave Rumple’s side before the Curse hits because Rumple “gave something up” that seems to have rendered him back to his S1 crazy Dark One self. What did Rumple give up? Why? And how does it affect Alice?
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Okay this is the problem, you lose the audience when you just throw something at them with no explanation what so ever. First of all I could not understand what in the world they were saying and I re-watched that scene several different times. If they wanted to show that Rumple gave up something for Alice (his sanity?) then show us some kind of background, give us some kind of hint that this happened. We got nothing so it came off as what in the world is going on, did the writers just forget that Rumple was in human form. This would have been at least effective if they gave us some hint that Rumple was back to imp form before they just threw it at us. The whole scene was rather stupid and made no sense.
Until the second part of the scene where Rumple pulled out the cup and gave it to Alice, I actually thought this version of Rumple was Wish Realm Rumple and not OUR Rumple. I was sooooo confused.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah, the scene with Rumpel made no sense. He was still sane enough to remember Belle and the importance of the cup, but then he was acting stranger then we have ever seen him act. Is it possible that he did something that helped Alice not be so crazy because Alice seemed more sane in this episode then she has in any of the others?
I’m guessing Rumple gave up his humanity for Alice but 1) why and 2) what does that even mean and 3) WHY?!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I also thought it was wish Rumple at first. I’d guess that he gave up something to free Alice from the tower and that something made him golden again. Again some dialogue to clear up the matter would’ve been nice. I do like that Rumple and Alice are close.

The problem with that is that Alice ran up to Rumple the moment he stepped foot into the New!EF. In other words, she was free from the tower already, unless it was only temporary freedom??? But why would it be Rumple who could free Alice from the tower as opposed to either her father, Hook, or her true love, Robyn?

Which should have made her a prime candidate for the guardian. Rumple tells Gideon “it is time for me to leave this realm and go to the MOMENT where this guardian is waiting for me” and then we see him poof over right in front of Alice, the rabbit, and Henry. It should have been one of those three to be the guardian. That would have been consistent writing. I would love to say that I am not 100% sure Anna is the guardian but she probably is which I don’t believe makes any sense.

This is what I am assuming also, but gives us some hint that is what happened before throwing it at us. I mean give us one line in present day HH “Alice and I are close we have both given up a lot for each other” Anything, I mean the scene came off as ridiculous because we were all confused and then the mumbling did not help.
So in that one little scene we had Rumple being an imp which no one had any idea about, Hook and Alice’s relationship troubles, and a mysterious love of Alice and some unnamed (Robyn) person at the time. That is a lot of information for one scene and none of it was well done. The show was rushing to give us all this information before the winter break probably so they could talk about it and hope we will also but they failed. They failed because when you rush through story lines they become either confusing or non developed and therefore boring. Why would I just automatically be invested in Robyn and Alice? There is no story there. I am only marginally interested in Alice and Hook’s relationship because they haven’t developed it enough yet. I am somewhat interested in Rumple and Alice’s relationship because they have spent some quality time on it. The same thing goes for Henry and Cinderella they have not spent enough time on the story to get me invested they have rushed through it, and then gave it a magical maguffin true love locket and told me to believe, sorry it does not work that way. I am not invested and don’t care.
