There are two Rumpels in town, and he shimmers when they trade places. At least that’s my guess about what the final dagger scene meant. The timelines are not quite merged, and Rumpel will have to choose which version of himself he wants to be (which will probably mean a choice between the Belle timeline and the Neal timeline).

Versions of Rumpel from different timelines seem to be flitting in and out of Storybrooke, if that shimmer in the final scene with the dagger is any indication.

Pretty much the only reason to use Elsa so soon after Frozen is that if they can build on what Frozen did.
I’ve never seen Frozen, and while I can easily change that, I think it’s a mistake for OUAT to use a character that hasn’t stood the test of time. When OUAT has done its own take on story characters, the characters have already been part of our culture even apart from the movies and stories that made them popular. Frozen doesn’t have that broad appeal. Sadly, I think this suggests that the show has switched tracks from “Let’s attract new viewers” to “Let’s drag this out for as long as we can”.

Also, it was so odd of Emma to have no problem with taking Past Marian back to the future and yet she told Rumple to drink the memory potion to forget about saving Neal. What? Emma didn’t want to alter the past but she brought back Marian? That makes no sense either.
Emma did leave Marian on the ground after inflicting a life-threatening head injury, so I’d say at least Emma’s subconscious knew not to mess with history.

I think Zelena wanted to believe, but she’d been burned so many times — Cora, her adoptive father, Rumpel, the Wizard — that at her most optimistic she’d be a “trust, but verify” person.

The Wizard is very much like what the Home Office could have been: technology versus magic. I might be in the extreme minority on this, but I’d like to see that rivalry re-examined.

I took it to be Zelena testing the other witches’ sincerity.

Zelena has to be back, and for real, not just in flashbacks. Narrativium(*), not laws of magic, governs how the OUAT universe works.
(*) Any Pratchett fans here?

Thanks, schaendlich!
Yeah, I don’t think Regina will turn back to self-serving evil, but she could be just as much of a threat “for the greater good”. I think her thoughts would go something like this: Results are what matter, and “The Evil Queen” was a convenient label for maintaining order. Henry almost died again, so keeping control of the Dark One’s power would be effective protection. Rumpel needs a restraining hand, anyway, for his own good. Law enforcement in town needs strong leadership to counter all these threats that keep appearing.
Huh; I didn’t mean for that to turn into a metaphor.
