Loved the episode.

I can't believe Fiona, Malcolm, and Rumpel were once a happy family and Rumpel was once a savior. Could Rumpel regain his savior powers? Fiona was portrayed as the most evil villain ever when all she wanted to do was protect her son. Blue and Tiger Lily literally came out the second she gave birth and said her son would be a hero and eventually be killed.

Black and Fiona were totally useless in helping Rumpel. I'm with Fiona on this one. If she wants to kill Blue, I support her decision. I have even more reason to believe Blue is evil. She doesn't care about right and wrong. She just cares about following the rules that she supposedly made up. The moment a woman becomes a little bit evil with only the intention of saving her family, Blue banishes her with little regard to what happens to the husband and kid. She does nothing to help Rumpel after he's in this mess that she's mostly responsible for. Malcolm blames his baby for what happened. That's horrible. Why not blame the fairies who are delivering the news? Blue supposedly lied to Malcolm about Fiona being dead? She kept the truth secret for over 2 centuries when it could have affected every decision Rumpel ever made and saved a lot of lives.

We keep thinking that Rumpel was screwed from the beginning, but everything that happened to his family can be tied to the blue fairy. She provoked his mother into creating a dark curse and then banished her. She led Malcolm to become an abusive father and a villain. She intentionally separated Rumpel and Bae. After Rumpel had only done a few evil things, Blue gives Bae a magic bean and tells him to leave his father when all Bae wants is to live a happy life with his father. After Bae leaves, Blue taunts Rumpel and even mentions the curse. Think that was just a mistake? She refused to help Regina, despite Regina being a good person at the time and only being surrounded by the evil that Blue created. She destroyed Rumpel's family, leading him to become the dark one, leading him to make Cora and Regina evil. Blue claims that fairies don't lie when clearly she has lied. She's known about the dark curse for centuries and never told anyone. She's also responsible for loosing Gideon, though that might have been an accident. I'm thinking this entire show has been part of Blue's bigger evil plan. Knowing the show, however, they'll probably never get to the part where they reveal that.

I know the story seemed incomplete, but this gives us the possibility of a new storyline for season 7. I don't see how the black fairy's story can be summed up in two more episodes.

Fiona's actions still don't make any sense. She could have saved Rumpel by destroying her own powers but instead she destroyed his? How quickly can one become addicted to magic? She was worried about Rumpel's fate being death. I still don't get that. Are non-saviors immortal? Instead of raising her son and letting him die when his time comes she made him experience a much worse faith. He went from being a boy with a single, abusive father, to an orphan, to being in an unhappy marriage, to being known as a coward, to being a single father, to becoming the dark one and abandoning his own kid. How is any of this better than death?

Fiona did not create dark magic. The dark one existed for centuries before her.
