I think either August, who knows a lot about book-binding, also knows the author of Henry’s book, who could be the Blue Fairy, Jefferson, or someone else entirely.

But, there’s also this one, so it’s no so obvious:

Yet it is, since we know Rumple survives. But for someone who doesn't watch spoilers, it may not be clear.

I don’t think it means anything. It’s usually the case that sneak peeks just recycle old openings from previous episodes. In this case, the dark could would be reused from the episode 1×22 A Land Without Magic.

1. The Cora/Rumplestiltskin dynamic is expanded upon. Earlier episodes of the show had hinted at a past between the two, including some kissing… so what was going on there? That backstory – which is partly shown in the preview images – is explored.

After seeing the sneak peek of Cora and Rumple, I believe Cora was in love with Rumple, and though he was “smitten” with her, he didn’t love her in return.

2. Pay close attention in the flashbacks. I didn’t catch it the first time around, but as per usual with Once Upon A Time, characters are more connected than I could have ever imagined. Cora might not be the only character we see a younger version of.

I think the other person we see a much younger version of is baby Regina, whom Cora originally traded away to Rumple if he’d teach her to spin straw into gold.

3. It’s kind of hard to love someone if you don’t have a heart. I’m just leaving that one there.

This has to be about Regina having the revelation that her mother doesn’t really love her, right? Please let it be, coz girlfriend needs to get a clue STAT.

Yeah, I think “heartless” could have two meanings here: Cora is both literally and figuratively without a heart, and Regina finally realizes that Cora never loved her. Perhaps Cora ripped out her own heart after Rumple broke it 💡

4. Rumbelle. There is a present-day Rumplestiltskin/Belle scene. How does it fit in? Tune in Sunday night to see!

We already saw this beautifully written, exquisite scene.

5. Magic corrupts. Rumple’s instruction for how magic works makes me worry about what might happen if Emma uses it too often.
Maybe we’ll see how Cora first learned magic, which we already know from a previous spoiler, has something to do with emotion.

6. Some fantastic performances. Lana Parrilla, Barbara Hershey, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Robert Carlyle in particular get some fantastic moments this time around. I’m a little lukewarm on Rose McGowan as the younger Cora… while she does a good job, it’s really hard to live up to the 100% perfection at playing Cora that is Barbara Hershey. I’m also happy to report that some aftermath of Emma’s discovery about Neal is talked about in this episode and not simply swept under the carpet.

I’m also glad to learn Emma akss Baelfire about his engagement. I want to know so much more. I’m thinking she’s also Tinker Bell.

After watching the sneak peek of Cora and Rumple, I think the reason she doesn’t become queen is because Henry Sr. is only 5th in line to the throne, which she said would require a “lot of bloodshed” to make her wear the crown. So, something, like Rumple putting a protection spell on the crown prince (George maybe) must’ve prevented Cora’s plan of making her husband king. Yet, it’s still entirely possible that Cora cursed Geroge’s wife, the queen, to be unable to have any children, which is why Rumple found James for Geroge to adopt and pass off as his own son.

Agreed. Makes me wonder if their original deal was for Rumple to get rid of the other heirs to the throne in exchange for Regina. And is it just Cora refusing to give up Regina that caused Rumple to ensure Cora would never have the throne? My gut says no.
Also, clearly something else happens Henry Sr and Cora aren’t living as royalty. Did the heir (George?) find out about Cora’s dealings with Rumple and send her and Henry into exile?

It could just be as simple as the 5th in line doesn’t get to live in a palace, since he isn’t king, but can still afford to live in a lavish country manor with horses and luxury. Not all of Queen Elizabeth’s children live in castles. Some probably just live in mansions.

Here’s another image of someone handing the book to Jennifer. I’m pretty sure in the other photo, the hands are just cut off.

I think someone is just handing the book to Jennifer.
