Yep, I think Ariel has always been in NL. If Charmings&Co go there, we’ll see her in present day, and then they can flashback to her actual story. As for Regina’s involvement, I think she’s gotta fit in somehow, given her comment to Rumple, I’m just not sure how yet.

😆 Maybe some pie then?
I’m hoping that the boss of THO will be someone/thing major and shocking. Though I think that in regards to Rumple and Regina, it will take more than just one moment for each of them to be fully reformed. They can still struggle, it’s just time for them to finally start moving consistently in the right direction.

Regina’s frustrated the crap out of me often this season. But if all of her missteps and regression has been build up for this epic moment when she actually does make a genuine change for the better, then it will make her actions during the rest of the season easier to take. When we saw that Rumple will have his breakthrough of accepting responsibility for Bae’s effed up life, I was hoping that Regina might have a breakthrough of her own.

We’re under 48 hours now! And then we have nothing until July when it starts again. 🙁
Ah, but it will really start all over again as soon as the credits roll and we have a whole new set of things to speculate about. 😉 I feel bad for the spoilerphobes, because at least we’ll be getting new stuff to talk about come July, maybe even end of June if casting calls start leaking. Spoilerphobes will have a much longer hiatus than we will.

I think A and E learned a lot this year and one thing they learned is that splitting up the core cast for so long made the show feel really disjointed. It got to be too much for the casual viewer (in other people, who are not us) to see FTL of the past, FTL of the present and SB of the present. If Rumple and Belle were to stay behind then we’d be seeing FTL of the past, NL of the past, NL of the present (or NL-adjacent whatever that means) and SB of the present because there is no way they’d downgrade RC’s role in this show meaning SB would still have to play a major part.
No doubt that having so many different locations and times made things muddled. I assume they took note of the negative feedback about that and would tweak things to make it easier to follow. Back when season 2 spoilers first started coming out, I remember thinking how potentially confusing it could all get.
There are many ways the finale could end, with different people in different lands. Trying to evaluate all the options makes my head hurt! How many hours until the guessing games are over?! *headdesk*

Hm, I agree that Rumple can take charge, but I don’t think he’d stay behind. They could ask him to, but when has Rumple taken a backseat to anything? Especially concerning his son, since they will be going after Tamara, the one they think killed him.
I don’t think he’ll leave to the others to go after her.But what if there’s a chance that Tamara, (or others from THO), may come back to SB? The smart gameplan would be to leave someone like Rumple behind just in case, so they have all their bases covered so Tamara, (and the people she works for), can’t escape them.
Whether he stays or goes I just want Belle to be there too. It would be annoying if he left and she stayed.
Agreed. I reckon they’d be crazy to split up Rumbelle again right now. Whatever the state of her memories, they need to be together to work through the hot mess and sort their relationship out.

My guess on that is that Hook may overhear GOAT discussing it and pass the info on to the Charmings. Was Henry visible in the background when Charming punched Hook? Maybe that’s after Henry’s been taken, and Hook goes to tell them about it, and Charming is all, “You knew what they were planning and didn’t tell us sooner?!
That makes sense. I like that Hook will help them out. Maybe this is where Hook finds out about Neal/Bae. They say something about how Tamara shot Neal and now they are after his son Henry. And maybe also tell him to forget about his revenge aganist Rumple since there are more important things and he’s already suffering due to Neal/Bae being gone. I don’t know. Something like that.
I hope that Hook is thus far unaware of Nealfire having even been in town, because seeing them talking about Henry as Rumple’s grandson, and Nealfire’s son, and how Tamara shot him and now he’s dead…I wanna see Hook’s reaction when he puts all the pieces together.

Thanks for posting! So, I think this scene happens after Baelfire is pulled from the sea but before Captain Hook interviews the boy. I think after Hook learns Bae’s identity is when he decides to make the boy part of his crew. As Milha’s son, Bae is Hook’s last link to his lost love. As Rumple’s son, Bae is the key to potentially taking down his enemy, Rumplestiltskin. So, Hook will want to keep Bae for himself once he learns his true identity.
No doubt about it. Have I mentioned in the last 5 minutes that I’m really looking forward to seeing CaptainFire interact? Coz I’m sorta looking forward to that. Just a little bit.

I like Rumplestiltskin, in every iteration. Whether he is the coward of A Desperate Soul or at his most Dark One crazy self in The Thing You Love Most.
And what I said in my post is that he needs to be the active agent who makes a decision to change. But no one in this world is alone, and we all deserve help from those we love. He can do it with Bae and Belle by his side, but the choice must be his.AMEN!!

They would have to leave someone behind in charge, wouldn’t they? I mean, King George is still at large and who knows if any other people will wander into Storybrooke. Someone or some people they trust would have to be there to keep everyone safe and take care of things.
I vote Granny and Red
I second that!
I’m still not entirely convinced that Rumple and Belle actually leave on the boat. If SB survives, and Rumple has had his character course corrected over the loss of Bae, (I know the sneak peek shows him saying he doesn’t care any more, but I believe he’ll have a change of heart before the ep ends, with the help of Belle), then I can see the Charmings leaving him in charge in their absence. If SB is now potentially vulnerable to the outside world, they need to leave an authority figure in charge who they know can handle anyone who comes into town, no questions asked. Even if Rumple sees the light and changes for the better, the dude will still be able to unquestionably take charge, and he’ll have Belle there to keep him in check, so he won’t slip and do anything evil, (if he gets her back, there’s no way he’s gonna risk losing her again).
Speaking of SB surviving…Regina said in that scene that she wasn’t leaving…she was doing this, and there was no doubt that it would kill her. They’re not gonna kill off Regina. Which IMO means that the failsafe mess will be resolved in the first half of the ep, and SB will live on so that Henry can get kidnapped and they can all go on a boat ride.
