This will be a Rumple-centric episode, which are always good. Emma, Henry, and Rumple will be in NYC trying to track down Rumple's son Baelfire. SPOILER ALERT!!!! In the preview for this episode, we saw Emma chasing down a man in the street and looks startled when she discovers who he is. The man that she runs in to is Neal Cassidy, aka Henry's dad. The real question is - is Neal also Baelfire? We won't know for sure until Sunday, but I am 99.999% certain that they are one and the same. If they are the same person, did Rumple know? Did he ask Emma to accompany him because he knew they had and history? Did he know that Henry was his grandson? Is it Sunday yet????
The other really cool thing about this episode will be the flashbacks. As far as I know, these will be the earliest flashbacks we have seen, focusing on Bae's birth. Below, I have included part of the press release for this episode. We see Neal of course, but we also see Milah. There are some pictures of a time when Rumple and Milah appeared to *gasp* like each other! From what I understand, Rumple is going off to fight in the Ogre Wars (presumably where he hurts his leg) and returns to find Milah either pregnant or with a new baby. We may even see why Rumple and Milah's relationship started to sour. Another guest star also caught my eye: David Quinlan as father. I think this man is playing Rumple's father, when Rumple was a child. Wouldn't that be cool? I never really thought of Rumple ever being a child, but it could be really enlightening.
This episode won't be all fun and games. Cora and the rest of Team Evil will be trying to track down Rumple's most treasured possession - the dagger that controls the Dark One. Oh dear. Can you imagine these three having Rumple for their personal slave? I have a feeling that even if they do get the dagger, Rumple will outsmart them as he always does.
