Rumple's looking toward Belle for the answers. It's probably best to have her try to convince Emma to help rather than Rumple doing it himself. There's less bad blood between the ladies.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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'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.
Snow and Emma are NOT happy about the latest developments. We can't blame them for that. Thanks to Gideon, Emma thought her true love had left her behind.
