The Yellow Rose of Texas. The Lone Star State. I don’t think it’s intentional or meaningful, just neat that two symbols of parent-child estrangement in this ep have this other connection.

Maybe she put her heart back in her chest for this visit?
Yeah, and it would be in character for her to take her heart out again afterwards because it hurt.

“The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny” works for this season in general…

…especially considering speculation about the finale.

Blue Fairy reference, too?
(Some sort of location-tracking device?)

@Slurpeez, here are the sources for the spoilers I mentioned:
I wonder if there’s misdirection in these publicly-filmed scenes, to keep the big surprise secret like with “Who shot JR?” on Dallas. That’s a lot of film crew workers to pay, even for a few extra minutes, but it was April 1st.

That being said, I think it helps me to think that Rumple 2.0 is, actually, a different person (i.e. he came back wrong), with the same set of memories and physical conditions, but a different character make up.
Bae was the light. Which is why Rumple doing *none of this* to at least try and get Bae back (you know, his happy ending) makes no sense.
If people come back wrong, then whatever is left of original Rumpel wouldn’t want that for Bae. He might be trying instead to be worthy of going where he thinks Bae is now.

I think it’s pretty clear that it did not give Belle closure. Her letting go of Will’s hand when he reached for her seems pretty neon flash-y that suddenly the Rumple-inflicted wounds that were just beginning to heal (a little at least) were reopened. And I won’t lie, part of me wonders if that wasn’t Rumple’s intention all along. He is the master manipulator and while long ago I would have thought it extremely unlikely that he’d manipulate Belle is such a manner, he clearly has no qualms about doing it now. Over and over.
I thought it was genuine, but you’ve got me wondering now. Rumpel knows that when Belle takes action against him, the results can be devastating for his plans, and now he’s made that much less likely to happen this time.

If they are playing with O and E myth, then it’s worth pointing out that in the end Orpheus loses Eurydice
In reverse in that Orpheus is Belle and Rumple is Eurydice?
That fits, but I was thinking of it more as an attitude-reversal: instead of journeying into the underworld to try to get her back and failing, he’s come back temporarily to say goodbye so that she can move on from him.

The Sorcerer was shown tonight to be a swirly blue smoke…guy?
It explains his space-time vortex hat.

2. The wolf distracting Emma. Nice callback there to previous mythology, even if it doesn’t (yet, please, A&E connect this somehow) make a whole lot of sense in this context.
I think it’s a Doctor Who reference. What kind of wolf keeps causing cars to crash?
