. Don’t think it was what granted him eternal life though, think he had that from being the Dark One.
We’ve seen last season that the Dark One can be killed, so, technically at least, being the Dark One does not give you eternal life.
True, you need the actual dagger to kill the DO, but he can be killed.
The Do that Rumple replaced was old and definitely tired of being the DO, which is not the case with Rumple, so we don’t know what that specific curse brings. There are stories in Greek mythologies of humans being granted immortal life, but not eternal youths, so they grow old and weak, but cannot die. Maybe that is the curse of being the DO, until you can find a replacement, and Rumple somehow (possibly with the Holy Grail) circumvented that part of the curse.
[adrotate group="5"]My favorite moment was the ending. David and Henry play fighting with the sword, camera moves back, and you see King George spying on them. It just foreshadows something bad to come, yet the two characters are totally oblivious to it. Well done scene on the part of the director.
Another thing I liked: Emma had trouble adjusting to the Enchanted Forest, insisting on her gun as a weapon, but that weapon caused the trouble (it attracted the ogre) and proved useless against the menace; however, in the end, it was the solution that prevented Cora from using the portal.
Lots of other moments that other have pointed out.
No real “least favorite” moment.

I definitely didn’t predict that Cora would be able to shift into another person or sustain another form as Lancelot for seemingly years. That’s just so messed up. I hate that she killed Lancelot (or so she says), but I am glad to finally have a villain that everyone can just plain hate. My main question is whether Cora always maintained her power or if she somehow acquired them later and how.
I’m thinking this morning that, since we are dealing with Cora, it could very well be a lie that she killed him.
That way, when Snow, Emma, Mulan and Aurora get back to the safe haven, if they see Lancelot, they will assume that it is Cora, and try to attack him. This will turn the rest of the refugees against our 4 heroes, thus possibly preventing them from interfering with Cora’s plan to get to Storybrook, if the refugees capture or kill them.
I don’t think we should take anything Cora says as truth, unless we see confirmation on screen.

I want to stick with the stranger is Bae theory. I don’t think K and H will put the audience through that mislead again. .
While it’s true that they did mislead us with an episode implying August might be Bae, they have done nothing so far to imply the new stranger is Bae. They only left clue and let us speculate.
If I remember correctly, when Mr. Gold threatened Regina, he described the wraith as worse than death. So, I don’t think Philip is dead.
I think the stranger is not Bae, but the Tinman from OZ.
Remember, the sequence opened with a horse. One of the OZ books is called “The wishing horse of Oz”.
L. Frank Baum tried to end the series by saying he lost communication with the land of Oz. Then, we he went back to it, he claimed he had re-established communication with the help of wireless telegraph. This would tie in with all the communication equipment in the room.
The shoes hanging by the windows represent the ruby slippers. Add to that the red poster near by (rubies are red) and the poster of a human heart.
Furthermore, L. Frank Baum wrote a number of books under a female pseudonym. That could explain the female (rather than male) bowling trophy. And before he became a writer, he owned a store called “Baum’s Bazaar” – the room certainly looks like a bazaar.
And, if he is Henry’s father, it would explain why he left Emma when she was pregnant – he has no heart.
In “Dreamy”, one of the people who answered the door when Leroy and Astride were selling candles was dressed in a waistcoat with a watch and was eating a carrot. So, because there already is a White Rabbit in Storybook, I don’t think the stranger is the white rabbit.
