I really really really don’t want Rumple to be insane.
I’m gonna believe he filled his own head with voices so no more voices could be heard. Possibly so that he can’t hear Zelena summon him back to her. “Dark One, I summon thee.” Would be a voice he knew was coming. Hopefully he can’t hear her.

I’m confused. I’ve seen many people speculate whether there will be a season 2 in Wonderland. I know the ratings aren’t good but even if the ratings were god, wasn’t this supposed to be only one season deal to begin with? A beginning, middle and end?

Is there a possibility that after Wonderland next week, a new land will be explored next season?

I’m gonna bet that this is NOT considered the dark curse. Adam would never have given that spoiler if it were.

I think Regina will react in the same way Emma does. She’ll put her emotions behind a wall for now. She has no idea how to succumb to romance. She’s never had it.

Sometimes love means putting yourself in a vulnerable position, and that’s not Regina. Not yet. Plus, the whole love is weakness thing that Cora burned into her brain.

I think she’ll temporarily join Emma on team All I Need Is Henry.

That, was sooooo good. Their music is exquisite.

Now, did she react to the tattoo? Or did she feel the witch in the reflection of the whiskey.

I’m hoping she’s reacting to seeing the tattoo. But, their end game is to find the witch. I see Regina’s dilemma. Romance, or witch hunt. It’s complicated, and not the best timing for romance.

So here’s my real crack theory.
Zelena has already taken Neal’s heart. She goes to her celler, holds Neal’s heart in her hand and tortures Rumple by squeezing his son’s heart as he is powerless to stop her.
This is what puts Rumple back into his right mind as he later breaks out of his cell in a desperate quest to save Neal.

In the scene with Emma and Neal in the forest, Emma has just found Neal. They embrace and kiss. Zelena has already taken Neal’s heart, and he can feel the pressure as if it’s being squeezed. However, just as Emma kisses him, he begins to slowly regain his memories’ of the lost year, just as Graham began to remember. He remembers Zelena. And he remembers her curse.

But then he remembers something else. Something that helped him in the Enchanted Forest. Something very important that he once saw in his fathers shop. Something which holds powerful magic and knowledge.

~~Lumiere~~

…..and…that’s all I have. I just really want Lumiere in Storybrook as well as EF. So, I put him in Gold’s shop for Belle.

Ok, I’m gonna go out on a limb here, because I could be totally wrong.
First, in the promo we saw Emma with Neal in the forest Neal is clutching his chest, which is something Emma experienced with Grahmm. She might believe someone has taken his heart.

Here, in these pics we see Emma with the Charmings, she’s holding her gun, in obvious distress. One can assume she’s in distress over possibly losing Neal AGAIN.

But also, in the Sunday promo, there is a really hard to make out shot of someone busting through the Charmings door and David is on the other side of the door armed with his sword at the ready. It’s SUPER hard to see who’s on the other side of the door, but I think it looks like Rumple.

So, I think Rumple has escaped his cell, runs through the forest to The Charmings’ home. He bangs on the door and Charming draws his sword. Rumple has no magic. He is frantic and tells that he’s been held by Zelena, and that she is the witch. Calls are made to Belle and others to barricade their homes and be on the lookout for Zelena.

It’s possible that Emma is crying here, because she can’t reach Regina and Henry, and she’s afraid for them. But note that she’s also holding her gun in that promo pic, so danger is quite near.

Later, we see Emma, David and Rumple, in the forest, being attacked by creepy monkey. I think they’ve come to the forest to search for Neal where Emma saw him last.

But Neal is no longer in the forest. He’s with Belle in Gold’s shop.

Unfortunately, though it seems Rumple may have escaped and rejoined David and Emma, we know Zelena summons the dark one back to her. And, he is with her later when she confronts Regina in the street scene.

Lovely pictures. And I recall a tweet several weeks ago which showed a swatch of fabric. What a lovely lovely scene. As usual, wardrobe is killer.

And Zelenas “oops!” As she’s looking into a pool of water, has she dropped something into the water? Like a dagger? These promos are really fun to pick apart. I’m always wrong, but it’s fun anyway.

[Cinders]

Assuming that Zelena needs heart, courage and brains to complete whatever mission she’s on, it’s a shame she doesn’t possess any of these qualities herself. And, since she doesn’t possess these qualities, as our heroes do, I predict her mission will backfire.
