I think you’re right about Regina not having magic for the very same reason you gave. Mr. Gold could have magic if he brought those potions he had previously bottled in FTL to SB.

Perhaps August Wayne Booth is the narrator of the book, as in the unreliable narrator that the literary Wayne Booth wrote about. He could also be Pinocchio, who was a little less than reliable in the original fairy-tale.

Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) is one lucky lady surrounded by some handsome and mysterious men, but if there aren’t enough hotties, Once Upon a Time is bringing back some more good-looking favorites. Yes, people, Sebastian Stan will be back. But Espenson played coy on just how he’d appear: “I can’t say if it will be as the Mad Hatter or as Jefferson or as another guy with all his memories.” What? Why you trying to blow our minds?
If you love Emma and Jefferson, you weren’t the only one. “Oh we were so excited,” Espenson gushes. “When we saw the dailies—sitting here in the writers’ room we look at the dailies everyday—and when we saw him we just all gasped and clutched our pearls because he is so, if I may say, hot. And the chemistry is so good.” What’s the perfect formula for a leading man? Pearl-clutching? Check. Swooning? Naturally.

More information form Jane Espenson on what to expect with Mr. Gold this episode:
For someone who is so powerful in fairy-tale land and retains all his memories in Storybrooke, we can’t help but feel that Mr. Gold got the short end of the stick with happily ever afters. “There’s something that Mr. Gold wants very much,” Espenson explains. “That is what Sunday night’s episode is going to be about—what does Gold want and why?” Could it be his son or his true love, Belle? But remember, there is that whole creepy obsession with babies.
Mr. Gold will also be trying to figure out August’s real identity, so what’s your favorite theory? The most intriguing one we’ve seen that August is Baelfire and Pinocchio but Espenson says, “I think it would be hard for him to be both, although that’s fascinating.” Not to fear Once theorists, Espenson says she’s seen people guess correctly, “But you’ve got to be careful of clues, because one is a clue, a real clue and one is a mislead.” But she assures us, “Questions will be answered. And answers will be questioned.” http://uk.eonline.com/news/watch_with_kristin/once_upon_time_mr_golds_goal_finale/310408#ixzz1sgrfrFKF
Plus, a very detailed Q&A:
Genre-TV go-to gal Jane Espenson, who penned this week’s hour, spoke with TVLine about Mr. Gold’s unique dilemma (being aware of his own past and all), what’s ahead for Mary Margaret and David, and the sneak peek we’re about to get at a grand finale showdown.
TVLINE | So, this is the episode where Mr. Gold (played by Robert Carlyle) gets on the couch, as a new patient of Archie’s?
[Laughs] Yes, Mr. Gold is going to talk to our friendly neighborhood cricket.TVLINE | Is he genuinely seeking personal betterment, or is he working an angle?
Before he knocks on the door of Archie’s office, watch carefully, because there’s an interesting shot that will answer that question. But he’s going through real stuff in this episode.TVLINE | Why?He’s trying to figure out who August is, and at the same time the fairytale story has him dealing with his beloved son Baelfire. Questions will be raised about August that push his buttons in a genuine way. Because Mr. Gold has all those memories, unlike most characters when we flash back, we see things he actually remembers, so he’ll be thinking about his son.
TVLINE | This episode features Baelfire, and next week’s has Geppetto and Pinocchio…. It would seem that somewhere in there lies the answer to August’s identity.
Unless they’re both misleads. [Laughs] Sometimes you’re like, “Well, that’s definitely a clue,” and then you go, “Wait, is this a clue to the real answer or is it to mislead me?” We’re very good at the misleads.TVLINE | If August reveals a Louisville Slugger tattoo on his arm, I’m going to take that as a sign. [Laughs] Could be!
TVLINE | What in particular sets Mr. Gold on this mission to crack the August mystery?
August is going to do something that catches his attention. August is a great character and Mr. Gold just could not be more fascinating. You talk about peeling back the layers of an onion, but if you do that you end up with nothing in the middle. But with Mr. Gold you keep hitting more substance. It’s more like there’s candy inside the onion!TVLINE | Do I understand correctly that if Baelfire can find a way to have his father’s powers safely taken away, Rumpel is open to it…?
That very question is what Rumpelstiltskin is wrestling with. The answering of that question drives the episode.TVLINE | Where do things stand with Mary Margaret and David now that Kathryn has been found? Is she still cheesed off that he briefly seemed to suspect her?
That’s not a thing you get over quickly. I have a good feeling about them making it work in the long-term, but they’ve got a lot of obstacles to get through. Hang tight for the season finale (airing May 13), where you’ll get some resolution.
TVLINE | This week Emma confronts Regina about her involvement in Kathryn’s vanishing. What sort of evidence does she present?
She’s going to have some concrete evidence, but the problem with Regina is you can ever really get enough evidence — she’s so good at this, and she’s got people working with her and for her – so this is more about how Regina reacts to the reemergence of Kathryn. This confrontation between Emma and Regina is a prequel to a later confrontation that’s going to absolutely thrill and delight. This season finale is go to be one of the best hours of television you’re ever going to see in your life. I am blown away by it. Absolutely everything happens. The confrontations, relationship resolution…. There’s a lot going down!

Speaking of swoon-worthy men, if you have missed the dearly departed hot hipster sheriff Graham (Jamie Dornan) he’s on his way back too mostly like as his alive flashback counterpart, the Huntsman.
The finale episodes are leading up to a crazy showdown in the freshman series’ finale. “We have been holding our breath waiting for a Regina-Emma showdown—I would say just expect everything. Nothing’s held back,” Espenson promises. “The doors fly off, your socks and then your shoes, everything’s going to fly off of you.”
Uh, does that sounds like a Dorthothy-esque tornado or just crazy drama? “It is one hell of a finale. We watched it in the room yesterday and, oh my god, one of the best hours of TV I’ve ever seen.”
That’s good enough endorsement for us."That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy
I’m thinking that once Emma breaks the curse, whatever is happening to him will stop. That’s why he was telling the person on the phone they need to speed things up.
I like that thought! Very interesting!

I’ve never been a huge fan either of the Disney cartoon version of Pinocchio, but that’s not grounds to disqualify the character. Knowing how OUAT takes traditional fairy-tale characters and adds some extra spice to them, I think that there is a good chance they could do some cool things with grown-up Pinocchio. If the writers can transform a little damsel in distress like Snow into a fire-cracker princess, surely then can transform a former puppet into a fighting hero.

Don’t know.

Yes, Archie and Emma could be talking about the curse. I also think they may be talking about custody rights of Henry. Remember how Archie threatened Regina back in episode 3? He basically said he’d testify against her. Also, if Emma realizes August is Pinocchio, she may have some questions for Dr. Hopper/Jiminy Cricket.

We’d tell you we don’t know, but our noses would be growing!
Pinocchio!
He’s got wood. And, you know, not the dirty kind.
Yep, ever since the “shin splints” scene, I’ve thought he was turning into a wooden puppet. This week’s sneak peek of August confirms it for me.
