I think here is where we see Regina beginning to realize just how many jumps ahead of her Rumple is, how much she's been playing his game all along.

[TsukabuNosoratori]

"I was saving it for a rainy day." Rumple.
"Well it's storming like a bitch outside, now where is it?" Emma.
Oh my. I love that spitfire of Emma's whenever she's dealing with Rumple. Fearless and determined, and that's what he finds charming about her. LoL.

[liamargolis]

I love that in this scene, if even for a moment, it was so satisfying to have Rumple feel like a fairy godfather or something with how he's helping Emma (although really himself, although we don't totally know that yet) and he's so genuinely happy to help her and stick it to Regina (whom we've had villainized up until this point, so it feels satisfying). Feels like he's playing the loving wise-old-man/grandfather type

"Well it's storming like a bitch."
I love that quote.

The look on Emma's face was priceless when he told her what the box contained.

[raea]

Rumple: "I told you magic comes with a price."
Regina: "Henry shouldn't have to pay it!"
Rumple "No. You should. But alas, we are where we are."
Truth! What happened to Henry was the natural consequences of Regina's need for control and power. Thankfully it was also the turning point of her seeing what she was about to loose because of it.

He just sent them on a wild goose or dragon chase for something Emma could've done from the start of the episode if he told them but that was never going to happen. If he told them kissing henry was the answer then there would be nothing in it for him in return i.e. bringing magic to storybooke and furthering his plan to find his son. He's really good at playing the looong game and treating everyone like unwitting pawns. That's what I love most about his character in my opinion.

[StormEyes]

Rumple is enjoying this too much. But after what Regina did to him and Belle I can't blame him. Who's really the twisted one, dearie?

[shermanlee]

2:04 I suspect Regina is recalling incidents in the past where that particular blade came a little too close for comfort...we already know that it's played a starring role in her nightmares...

[johnsheehan]

That really filled me with laughs and giggles when Emma said in quote. "well it's raining like a bich where is it"

[Jamestopboy]

So, is this Rumplestiltskin taking control, Runplestiltskin being a troll or Rumplestiltskin being a troll *WHILE* taking control?

[madeleine]

I feel like Rumple was a little defensive of Henry like even before he knew he was his grandson he saw a bit of Bae in Henry (a young boy just a bit younger than bae was when he lost him) so he seems genuinely angry that an innocent boy ended up paying the price for regina's revenge. Just his tone of voice. I think he knew Emma would be able to save Henry without the true love potion

[kethcup]

If only they both realized that all henry needed was true loves kiss....

[MasonPerry]

Regina's Face when rumple reveals Charming's Sword. "Really Bitch?"

[sammypierce]

2:06 oh emma, it's a lollypop, you silly!

[jesseflake]

love is one magic that regular people can make, not always easy but its worth it.

[denisheabates]

Rumple that is smart and twisted of you I like it

[denisheabates]

Even the Dark One loses sometimes Gold you have lost it

[sebastianemond]

1:15 "😤Enough riddles! What do we do?"
" *😈You* do nothing. It has to be Ms. Swann."
"😠Henry's *my* son! It should be me!"
"🙄😒All due respect, but it's *her* son."


I do like seasons later they stopped this petty rivalry over who Henry belongs to. It's his choice, and he loves both Emma and Regina. They kinda did become two halves of the same coin, almost like sisters.

[nicholasjohnson]

Only thing here is rumple didn't create the dark curse his mother did. H simply added to it
