I’d say that I’m just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride…but it’d be a lie…coz I just can’t help myself. đ
I do like the idea that Henry’s heart is needed to restore magic. But just judging by the little we’ve seen of NL so far, it looks to be doing alright. The battery in GOAT’s walkie vanished magically. The JR crew fighting whipped up that storm immediately. The mermaids were at full strength with their sparkly tails. Rumple and Regina can both still use their magic just fine.
I’m starting to wonder if PP is looking to defeat whatever dark force it is that controls the Shadow, if it’s not his own shadow. Does he need the massive amount of light that the heart of the truest believer contains, in order to obliterate some dark force?
If they have come through to SB, I’m really wondering what’s up with that cloaking spell. Did Belle not do it right? Did someone *coughSneakyFairy*cough* sabotage it? And NL is supposed to be a hard place to get out of, but now we potentially have three people having done just that in quick succession? Is it due to the magic in NL weakening, making it easier for people to get out? And what’s the mermaid rock for? Ariel, or another mermaid? Is Ariel gonna change back and return to NL and somehow help these two guys get through to SB in the process?
My head is starting to spin with all these questions, and just watch, they won’t even end up being in SB after all. đ
I think she’s still gotta be involved in Ariel’s story somehow, just because of her mermaid line in Skin Deep.
-Nealâs lines about how important family is to Rumple, coupled with the introduction of âblood magicâ makes it seem like weâre going to see more of both in the near future. This definitely sounds like a setup where someone who was not previously known to be related is going to pick up an item and it will cause the magic to react.
Yes, Neal’s line was totally foreshadowing IMO.
-Sometimes, lines are set up with false information so they can be proven wrong in a surprising way later, so while this may be fishing for something that isnât there, I found it strange that they specified Neal was Rumpleâs âonlyâ son. Why not just say âsonâ? Itâs not incorrect, by a long shot, but it seemed suspicious in way that might me weâd find out he isnât. Maybe a firstborn son met an untimely fate when Rumple was unable to do anything about it? And thatâs why he was so ready to do whatever it took to ensure Baelâs wellbeing?
The “only son” line is curious now that you mention it. I think though, that the scene in Manhattan where Rumple is talking about going to war, and then he and Milah are all smiley about the prospect of being able to start a family, they sound like people who haven’t had a child before.
That being said, I hadnât even considered the possibility that Pan and Rumple were brothers.
Here’s what Barrie wrote about PP having a sibling…
Many nights and even months passed before he asked the fairies for his second wish; and I am not sure that I quite know why he delayed so long. One reason was that he had so many good-byes to say, not only to his particular friends, but to a hundred favourite spots. Then he had his last sail, and his very last sail, and his last sail of all, and so on. Again, a number of farewell feasts were given in his honour; and another comfortable reason was that, after all, there was no hurry, for his mother would never weary of waiting for him. This last reason displeased old Solomon, for it was an encouragement to the birds to procrastinate. Solomon had several excellent mottoes for keeping them at their work, such as “Never put off laying to-day, because you can lay to-morrow,” and “In this world there are no second chances,” and yet here was Peter gaily putting off and none the worse for it. The birds pointed this out to each other, and fell into lazy habits.
But, mind you, though Peter was so slow in going back to his mother, he was quite decided to go back. The best proof of this was his caution with the fairies. They were most anxious that he should remain in the Gardens to play to them, and to bring this to pass they tried to trick him into making such a remark as “I wish the grass was not so wet,” and some of them danced out of time in the hope that he might cry, “I do wish you would keep time!” Then they would have said that this was his second wish. But he smoked their design, and though on occasions he began, “I wishâ” he always stopped in time. So when at last he said to them bravely, “I wish now to go back to mother for ever and always,” they had to tickle his shoulder and let him go.
He went in a hurry in the end because he had dreamt that his mother was crying, and he knew what was the great thing she cried for, and that a hug from her splendid Peter would quickly make her to smile. Oh, he felt sure of it, and so eager was he to be nestling in her arms that this time he flew straight to the window, which was always to be open for him.
But the window was closed, and there were iron bars on it, and peering inside he saw his mother sleeping peacefully with her arm round another little boy.
Peter called, “Mother! mother!” but she heard him not; in vain he beat his little limbs against the iron bars. He had to fly back, sobbing, to the Gardens, and he never saw his dear again. What a glorious boy he had meant to be to her. Ah, Peter, we who have made the great mistake, how differently we should all act at the second chance. But Solomon was right; there is no second chance, not for most of us. When we reach the window it is Lock-out Time. The iron bars are up for life.

Given that one of the staples of this show is family angst, I’d be surprised if they didn’t include the bit about PP having a younger brother, and that playing into his issues and how he became who he is, (we know there’ll be a story to how PP got to be the twisted little villain he is). Having his origin story be something completely separate means introducing yet more characters to tell his family backstory. If he’s Rumple’s brother though, it’s two for the price of one and they can tell their childhood stories at the same time, so from a logical standpoint, it makes sense to keep the storytelling more concise IMO.
And I think it could be an interesting story if a pair of brothers were both doomed to become these villainous, controlling beings, both wielding their daggers and manipulating people for centuries. How and why were they doomed to begin with? Are they both victims of a bigger bad setting them up? Did it have something to do with their father having wronged someone powerful, which resulted in his family being cursed?
Some people think it’d be jumping the shark with yet another family connection. I tend to think that it could be a great climax to the crazy family tree, and after that, there’s no more crazy branches added.
Looks like Dopey and Archie have both been shooting…

Keegan tweeted both of these pics in the last 10 hours, so it looks like she’s been shooting too…

Interesting if she’s in fairy costume for the ep where we’re gonna see Rumple’s father. She has so known Rumple his entire life.
maybe thatâs the same London where Bae first went and got kidnapped by the shadow?
Nope, they’ve confirmed that the London Bae went to was RealLondon in our world. Alice’s London is FictionalLondon.
Had a lot to say and then decided not to derail even further. Sorry Phee, that was NEVER my intention and I coulda sworn I said something about that since Iâm touchy about people assuming I ship Neal to get rid of him. Definitely didnât want to imply that all of you do that to Hook and youâve been better to him than most! And you want him to have an actual love story and not to get rid of him which makes me happy.
Apology accepted, Kat. Like you’ve said, it can be infuriating if you’re accused of shipping for reasons of hate or convenience when you’re not, so just wanted to defend my little crackship. I daresay you’d find that just about everyone who ships Hookriel does so not with the hope that it would get Hook off the show, but rather that it would increase Ariel’s chances of being a permanent addition, because she’d be involved with one of the main characters.
The media hype of the triangle has gotten to the point where BOTH sides have TONS of reasons to hold out hope and think theyâre absolutely right and it is making me crazy because people are going to be very very hurt by it and feel lied to.
And unfortunately, whatever happens, K&H are gonna get the hate from disgruntled fans, despite the fact that they haven’t said anything definitive either way, and it’s the media hyping up the triangle so much.
