I would love to see him finally face someone head-on, without magic or tricks. Maybe he could also feel a bit remorse for what he has done–I know Milah is not popular, but she still did not deserve to die. 🙂 But it would be great to see him gaining bravery for Belle and Baelfire–if he does get caught in the middle.
[adrotate group="5"]Well, we know that magic in Storybrooke is different. He seems to have no trouble, but there may come a time when he does run into some complications with his powers. Perhaps Captain Hook finds a way against his magic–maybe Cora taught a bit to help him gain an advantage against Rumpelstiltskin.
It could be that Rumpelstiltskin’s favor would be for Emma to fight him–she already tricked him once, and she is a strong fighter. 🙂
Things will be far from a happy ending for everyone–there is still the threat of Captain Hook and Cora coming up, as well as other characters that may prove as a potential risk.
Neither Emma and Regina are a hundred percent stable–each of them have isues and hardships that they need help with. But, on the whole, I think Emma is a bit better. Regina has hurt Henry before–he said so himself that she made him think he was crazy. She revealed to the whole town that he was born in jail, she had Archie purposely hurt Henry to make him feel horrible, and she has used Henry to get what she wants–Skin Deep with Mr. Gold in jail is an example.
Emma may have her problems, but she never would have put Henry in that position if she could help it, nor would she ever hurt him emotionally. Regina may have given Henry all that a boy his age could ever want, but emotionally, she has hurt him numerous times.
I think for Regina, the moment where she wanted to change not only came from We Are Both, but from A Land Without Magic. That was the moment she had thought he was truly dead and never coming back, that he had almost died all because she let her wraith get in the way. That moment when she saw him, seemingly dead, was sort of an epiphany for her–especially when Emma’s kiss was the one to wake Henry up.
Judging from the pictures, we know Captain Hook will learn about Belle and her relationship with Rumpelstiltskin. He may try to flirt–he does that very often with women on this show. However, I have yet to see him flirt and be successful. 🙂 He flirted a bit with Snow White and she just glared at him. He flirted with Emma, and not once did she looked amused–only dissmissive and uncomfortable. And she chained him in the end. 😆 Despite how charming he can be, he flirting and teasing does not really seem to work on many–at least on the main characters.
I think if he does flirt with Belle, her reaction may be similar to Snow White and Emma’s–not at all amused or comfortable with him. Captain Hook may tell her what happened with Milah to scare her off a bit–to freak Belle out enough to hurt Rumpelstiltskin. But he spent hundreds of years looking for a way to kill Rumpelstiltskin–I doubt he will let that time go to waste.
As for his favor, I wonder if maybe Rumpelstiltskin will use his deal with Emma to protect Belle. It is either that or Baelfire, since those two people are the only ones that he cares for.
I agree–it probably will be a flashback. As awesome as he was, his death was supposed to have a impact on the audiance, as well as on Emma. 🙂 She may not have loved him romantically, but she did care enough. 🙂
I don’t think August was taking order from the Blue Fairy during the time in Tallahassee, though it does seem familiar. She told Dreamy why he could be with Nova, just as how Pinocchio told Neal he couldn’t be with Emma. Both men loved these two women, and both of them were told to give them up for their own good. And both Nova and Emma never got a say in the matter–the descision was made for them. After the incident, Dreamy became Grumpy and Emma hardened.
Back with Pinocchio and the money, he did take it–the expression, the one of voice, the way he looks at the money, his speech about how he cannot say no to temptation, and his scene with Emma in the forest in The Stranger. He has said so before that he was not built that way, not built to say no to temptation. The original tale is similar–Pinocchio lied and gave into temptation. He could not help it.
Oh Emma is one of my favorites, too! 😀 As it Jefferson! Also, I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I feel like Regina and Rumpelstiltskin are a little overated. They are awesome, I just don’t see why people depend them for everything, and then when one of the other characters make a mistake, they are hated.

And I agree–people stick up for Regina and Rumpelstiltskin when they have done far worse things, and have yet to feel true remorse for their actions. Not once have they said, “I’m sorry,” to the people they have hurt or admit they were wrong. They both (though I will say that Regina is making a bit more progress than Rumpelstiltskin) seem to still almost either justify their actions, come up with the same old excuses, or dismissed their actions entirely.
And yet when August does wrong, he has a whole army against him 🙄
And unlike Regina and Rumpelstiltskin, I do think August may feel guilt–that might be why he is hiding out. He may be too ashamed.
Good point. Pinocchio is not supposed to be good. His character was known to stray off the path. 🙂 Plus, out of Regina, Rumpelstiltskin, and himself, he is still more deserving of redemption. He never killed, raped, tortured, or manipulated anyone. 🙂
The island is also known as Pleasure Island. 🙂 And I thought it was already clear from how he looks at the money–it was another temptation that he could not say no to. Also, I don’t think the writers are just dumping on August/Pinocchio–they have showed Rumpelstiltskin in a pretty bad light with how he molded Regina and killed his own wife. 🙂
