Isaac could see Gold's health turning, and look to someone else for help, but we need to remember that Isaac has his own agenda that we don't know about yet. So that is not going to help Gold, and the one thing we know is that Gold ALWAYS helps Gold.

'''I am going to guess that darkened savior's blood is needed for new ink (at least one version of it), and Gold decides that Lily might just be able provide some, since she has the darkness from Emma. And being desperate, he is going to approach Lily as someone that she knows (since I doubt that Lily is actually going to trust anyone). Regina is the best choice, becuase not only can Rumple get close, but he can make Regina look bad in the process. ''' Besides, even though we saw Regina in the Promo with the Author, she may also have her hands full dealing with Zelena.

Exactly what I was thinking [and still am]. Couldn't have said it better myself. Regina never talks like that, Evil Queen or Madame Mayor. It had the tone, flow, etc. of Rumple and it makes sense because no one else was around to pick up on the difference or stop "Regina" from getting the blood.

I also think Lily would know who Rumple is since she knows about pretty much everything else and had pictures and notes etc on a big board. I believe she knows who Rumple is, maybe not Hook or characters like that but she's got to know of The Dark One. She could definitely already have it in her mind that he'd want to use her or steal from her in some way. If not, she's heard Regina and Emma talk about "Gold's plan" and "not doing what Gold wants you to do" since she joined them.
