An older brother could have worked, like 10 years as maybe the magic tower kept her young as well as fed. If they wanted they easily could have referenced Lancelot but they did not. There was also the shot of Henry playing his video game with a knight, that I dub Lancelot, even though they did not tell us Henry had a name for his avatar.

I had the same thought. Maybe the monkey is the voice Rumple is hearing? Maybe some Monkeys are fighting for freedom, some are enslaved, and this one is trying to communicate. I too hope it is not Neal, because that is scary!

what if one of the voices is the monkey? maybe Rumple can hear them, or maybe it is previous Dark Ones.

that is ok RG, I get Rumple feels off Eminem’s Monster. He even rhymes in Rumplestilskin!

I think a lot of people echoed what I feel already. I like their approach here and am enjoying it in the way I enjoy Snowing and Rumbelle, just not going to speculate and just sit back and watch.

It is funny, did not see your list when I wrote that, lots of great ones I forgot. I loved Javier’s version too!

Somedays I think, what songs don’t give me SF feels as it seems there are so many that do. There are certain artists that have an angsty vibe in their songs, and it fits with SF so you’ll notice that in these song choices. I imagine some of these as a song playing in Neal or Emma’s head when separated, when reuniting, some about the prospect of trying again.
1) Give me a Reason (Pink)
2) True Love (Pink)
3) Let her go (Passenger)
4) Burning Bridges (One Republic)
5) All this time (One Republic) …
6) Come Home ( One Republic)
Maybe I should just say about every song by that band, even one of their biggest hits Apologize, though I do think it wasn’t too late, just Emma felt that way at first when she met Neal at the bar. Counting Stars also, sort of their young and crazy together period.
7) Home (Phillip Phillips)
8) Stay (Rhiannon)
9) Ho Hey (Lumineers)
10)Hello my old heart (Oh Hellos)
11) Wake me Up (Avici)
12 ) I won’t give up (Jason Mraz)
Well, I do give up, there’s so many. Hardly any of these though as I said are the happy, fluffy type to go with their young love, more about the bulk of this angsty story of “How do two people who really love each other but have had so much pain ever manage to reconnect?”.

For people who think Neal “broke” Emma (from Schmacky)
To people that believe Neal broke Emma – I present this to you. NTHIS THIS THIS.
I love romance subplots. I’m here a lot obviously! Yet it drives me crazy that people undervalue HENRY in Emma’s life. One of the reasons I started shipping SF, to be honest, is that Neal showed concern about Henry even when doing so wasn’t scoring him points with Emma. He was worried about Tamara as a potential step-mom, and that said to me that he didn’t think being Henry’s dad meant he had to be with Henry’s mom, and in a weird way, that sold me a bit more on SF. If he chose to be with Emma, if Emma chose to be with Neal–it would be because they wanted each other, not because they had an old-fashioned idea that bio parents have to be saddled with each other or else be bad parents who ignore their child so they can have romance in their life.
Henry comes first, and Henry means a lot to each of them–and its just something that in turn sets up a common goal and attitude that I think makes Emma and Neal compatible as people who could truly bring out the best in each other.

Galuthria–that made me think of Prince Charmin.
Anyway I feel those character moments are important but they do tend to get lost and its one of the things I don’t like about the writing of the show. They easily could have worked a scene of Belle being comforted by the Charmings prior to the big town meeting. I suppose then people would complain though it was so brief and cursory!
In any case, someone told Belle about the meeting because she was there.
Things are happening off-screen, but much as I wish many would make it on screen, they don’t, and as far as the scene that did? I honestly don’t think Belle was shocked anyone was there. I think she was surprised to see someone she didn’t know walk in, because she didn’t know Zelena from Curse 1. Then Zelena presses her advantage by greeting her as “Mrs. Gold”. Definitely a very Wicked Witch! Poor Belle is just all thrown off by all this.
Even for the characters that dominate screen time there are many moments that are missing and jumps that don’t seem to make sense as to how they knew this or that. It’s as I said, either a problem of the editing, the writing or something but I don’t think its the intention of the writers to portray that other characters are selfish or don’t think Belle is important too. I think that is happening very much unintentionally. Emma even hugged Belle goodbye at the town portal scene–but when had we seen the two of them ever interact prior to that! The first time Belle interacted with Henry? He was in Pan’s body!
I think there is going to be more Belle in the next episode though, so there is that to look forward to and perhaps maybe they’ll show some scenes that fill in certain gaps.
