A thought occurs to me, though, of a subplot that could run with this arc. Going with Hercules (which you know will be at least referenced), one of the themes was "Zero to Hero". and we have a character that, at least as of the end of "Broken Kingdom" would definitely qualify as a "Zero". and a certain Dark One has told this Zero that She is going to make him the Hero she needs. Anyone care to place bets that Rumple is going to represent Hercules? God, I hope not. It's bad enough that they had Cyrus/Will as allusions to Aladdin and Alice/Anastasia as allusions to Jasmine. It was fine in the Beauty and the Beast situation 'cause it fit perfectly, but no. I don't need Rumple replacing Herc.

Speaking of, Herc actually took hero training. Wouldn't he have been a better choice to make Rumple into a hero than... Merida? But then again, I can't think of any way they could've shoved Hercules into Camelot.

I just hope we get Megara and Pegasus alongside Herc.
