Ok here is a silly theory. What if we, like Regina, got it wrong? After this weeks episode I started to think about something. MR Gold only broke one deal, that was to his son. He didn’t break the deal with Regina. He just manipulated the wording. So here is my thought, what if the Dark Curse he said that Emma would break was never the Queens curse, but his own Dark Curse? What if he set his entire plan into motion so he could find his son and rid himself of the Dark Curse he has on him? Thus bringing back a Happy Ending for himself. Just a thought. What do you all think?

He did the curse so that he could find Bae and get rid of his magic. I think he probably did the same thing with Regina where he manipulated the wording to get her to take it.

Remember, the curse didn’t work the first time and really, the wording was “the heart of the thing you love most.” So, she failed twice. For the curse to really work, Regina would have had to “put her heart into her work” so to speak. Regina loves Regina the most.
Rumple had a completely different plan way back when he made the deal with the Queen that she would always do his bidding if he said, “Please.” She figured she’d be rid of Rumple and his magic once her curse was released on FTL. So, in her arrogance, she dismissed it. Only, her curse didn’t launch – Rumple’s did. It was all smoke and mirrors when the Queen thought her curse was manifesting. Rumple probably made back room deals with others in the Realm that had everything to lose, should The Queen succeed. So, it was a con job from the get go and Regina is living a delusional life as Mayor while Rumple waits for the right “believer” to come along and take her out. He probably can’t get his hands bloody for some reason. Whether or not he will or can reverse the curse, once Regina is gone, is unknown.

I agree that the curse was never really about Regina or her desires. The curse was designed to help Rumpel find his son. But Regina is using it as a tool for revenge. So, it may backfire on her. She probably has no clue what the curse is really about or the consequences of it.
