We've lost count of how many times these two have been separated, either by choice, curse, or terrible luck. Belle's been held hostage in a mental hospital, Rumple's died, ventured to Neverland, and been kidnapped by the Wicked Witch. And that was just in the first three seasons!

Why's the Dark One carrying his dagger? We know he likes to keep it close. Perhaps he's dealing with a complicated spell.

We all love a great flashback. Rumple's back to his Dark One self, but what's he doing in the woods? We're guessing he's there to make a deal.

Baelfire pleads with his father to give up his dagger. We know how this particular story ends, but we don't know what they're arguing about in the latest flashback.

Baelfire and Rumple don't agree when it comes to his Dark One side. We've seen Bae turn his back on his father before. Can Rumple convince him he's doing the right thing?

Why is Rumple offering Baelfire his dagger? We're not used to Rumple giving up control. Could this be one of his many tries at a new leaf?

Rumple's keeping his dagger close. Nothing new there, but we imagine he's holding it tighter than usual. The last thing he wants is for it to fall into his mother's hands.

It's rare for Mr. Gold to have a smile on his face. But things appear tenser than normal for the Dark One. He knows better than anyone how much damage the Black Fairy can cause.

Rumple doesn't appreciate the interruption. We know he normally likes to work alone, but he did tell Belle they needed to do what they could to save their son. And the town. Did he mean it?

Belle and Rumple are struggling with how to help their son. Gideon's determined to kill the savior. They know they can't let that happen. But will they be able to stop him in time?

Belle tried her best. She thought sending Gideon away would make his life easier. Instead, he ended up rapidly aging while in the care of his evil grandmother. That's a lot to weigh on any mother's mind.

Rumple and Belle face a difficult task. They need to convince Emma to help Gideon with his plan. Will Rumple finally explain what's so terrible about the Black Fairy?
