The list of things that would never have happened had Bae stayed is staggering. His departure from FTL is the impetus for everything. Think about: let’s say Bae stay with his papa. The Rumple has no need of the Curse so:
–he never meets Cora
–Cora never marries the Prince
–Regina is never born, or at least not born to Cora and Henry Sr.
–Cora never kills Ava
–Regina and Snow are never enemies
–Snow never looses her mother, the King never remarries
–Snow is never driven out into the forest where she meets Charming
–George never looses James trying to get gold from Midas
–Snow and Charming never marry because David would still be a farmer
–Emma is never born
–Henry is never bornBae leaving FTL is the most signifcent event to happen in FTL. And because of that fact, someone is behind it, someone is manipulating everything for their end goal: Henry. So PP has been planning this for a long long long long time. And he’s got helpers: The Lost Ones who check each new boy who comes to NL, Tink who is probably his second in command, and in my mind, Blue who works for PP, making sure everything happens according to plan in FTL.
There has to be a seer involved somewhere, there’s so many events that have to unfold exactly so.
If the goal is Henry then the ultimate plan could be to get rid of the Dark One altogether. As it is the DO is immortal, the vessel might die but the power finds a new host. Henry’s mother is the embodiment of true love and his father the son of the current Dark One. Bae was the catalyst in the past but in the present everything happens because of Henry.
Milah has my sympathy right up to the point she abandons Bae to face the same sneers and judgment she was running from.
She and Rumple probably married young, grew content with their life together but then he proves himself to be the very coward she had been promising him he was not. His actions turned her into a fool and the laughing stock of the village. Leaving in those circumstances is understandable, why would you endure that for a man who you can’t respect and probably can’t even remember what it was like to love?
Does Emma still have the compass? They might turn it into a heart’s desire locator ala POTC and use it to find Henry.
