I, too, like the idea of Elsa being Anastasia’s sister. (Though I do have to wonder who were the two stepsisters that Ashley had in season 1, since it couldn’t have been either Elsa or Anastasia.)
I think that Elsa has magic that is neither light nor dark, but something completely different. Didn’t Rumpelstiltskin say that his vault was for magic that even he couldn’t comprehend? He can comprehend good/evil, light/dark. But something completely different? Something completely alien to the magical dichotomy we’ve had ever since season 1. I can see Rumpel trying to lock that away.
[adrotate group="5"]Did Zelena really cast the curse? After all, everybody lost a year of their lives, so nobody knows what happened. Yes, both Regina and Emma figured out that it was the Wicked Witch who cast the curse, due to the green smoke and flying monkeys. In fact, it almost seems like the clues were *too* obvious, like she wanted people to think that the curse was cast by the Wicked Witch? If so, then who actually cast the curse, and why is Zelena “taking the blame”? And, if she didn’t actually do the casting, then why does she apparently remember who she is?
I seriously hope that Rumpel isn’t Zelena’s father. If they are related, I will be very disappointed in Rumpelstiltskin. He has been many things, some of them rather unpleasant. However, one thing that I have never considered him to be is a hypocrite. But if Zelena is his daughter, and he knows about it, then hypocrite is the only word I can think of to call him.
After all, Rumpel killed Mila because she abandoned Baelfire. But he did the same thing to Zelena? Uh-uh. If she is his daughter, then he can’t know anything about it.
This might sound crazy, but what if it isn’t Regina disguising herself as Ursula, but Ursula disguising herself as Regina? Perhaps, as a sea goddess, Ursula can also see the future. Knowing that Ariel might actually meet the real Regina (assuming Ariel does meet the real Regina in the future), she modifies her appearance to look like Regina, so that Ariel thinks Regina is actually Ursula. The question is: why? What reason would Ursula have for wanting Ariel to distrust Regina?

My money is on pixie dust and that it can save David!
Maybe he just needs to carry around some Neverland dirt with him when he leaves, so Neverland will always be with him.
That would be rather anticlimactic, though.
I agree RG, and Sedorna, I was trying to make sense myself because I don’t see much resentment from Henry, and Emma seemed to be working through things she had suppressed, but Pan is playing up the weakness and the doubt for sure. I think it will make more sense when we know more about Pan.
Peter didn’t actually say how much Henry resents Emma for abandoning him. His words imply that Henry is really resentful and angry at Emma. But, on a scale of zero to a hundred, with zero people, “I totally forgive you” and a hundred being, “I will absolutely never forgive you, and I would rather die a thousand deaths than even consider forgiving you”, Henry’s feelings might be, say, .000005. Tiny, almost miniscule, but, still there. There, and able to be manipulated.
And thank you, Rumple’s Girl, for actually explaining why the Orphan thing was so important. Now I’m wondering if the opposite would have been true. If Emma’s first realization had been “I’m an orphan”, and then later had done her history and savior stuff, would the map have appeared immediately after the orphan realization, or would it have waited until everything else? Personally, I think it was the accumulation of everything that Emma is. I also think that Peter knew that Emma would accept the orphan thing last, and think that *that* was what triggered it by virtue of what it was, when it was an important part of what triggered it.
Oh, and I just remembered that Peter lied to Henry in the previous episode, so I guess my Peter Pan doesn’t lie theory isn’t exactly true. Darn. I really liked it.
I still think that Emma’s true self isn’t just a sad one. It is sad, but there’s so much more than that, and Emma is so much more than that. I also do think that Peter didn’t lie when he said that Henry hadn’t forgiven Emma for abandoning him. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I think Peter is being quite literally, very honest. I think every word he’s said has been the complete and utter truth. But it’s not what he says that’s important, but what he *doesn’t* say. The conclusions that Pan knows that people will come up with. Lies by omission, and whatnot.
What if NL’s mermaids are carnivorous? Instead of killing humans because of fear or generic meanness or something, they kill them because humans equal yummy food. Being drowned by a mermaid would be scary enough. Being eaten by one would be so much worse.

I like that. Bae jumps forward in time to the 1900s in London, but his time after that is linear. It’s like he jumps time again when he goes to NL and when he comes back to our world, he’s been gone so long that it’s now 1991.
I have another “theory” about why Baelfire apparently jumped forward in time to 1900s London. I would like to state in advance that no fictional characters were harmed in the creation of this “theory”, despite all appearances.
Bae is Alice, from Alice in Wonderland. See, when Alice first fell down the rabbit hole, it took so long for her to reach the bottom, she actually became somewhat bored. So, Baelfire was simply falling for the couple hundred years. Yes, that must be it. And…er…he didn’t need food or to relieve himself or anything like that. Perfectly logical! 😀
I was just wondering how time passes in Never Land. From what Wendy said, it passes differently, but she didn’t say *how* differently.
I can see at least two possibilities. One, no matter how much time passes in Never Land, you always return the morning after you left. You spent one day or a million epochs, you still return the morning after you left.
Two, it simply passes much more slowly than our Earth. And, if the latter is true, how many years was Baelfire in NL in order to go to to the late twentieth century after he manages to leave NL?
