The events in Lacey have been promptly added to the page for the Fairy Godmother's Wand. Still, I wander: is it really the same wand? I don't think so for a timeline reason.

This episode obviously takes place before Heart Of Darkness, while Cinderella's wedding took place after Snow White's. It takes quite some time to organize a royal wedding, but we know there's been a huge lot of events, including a whole war, between Heart Of Darkness and Snow's wedding, so much more time could have passed in-between Cinderella's ball and her wedding.

It is also implied that Belle has recently arrived to the Dark Castle in this episode, while in Skin Deep she spends at least several weeks, if not months there, and appears to be gone by the time of Heart of Darkness. I think there is enough evidence that points to the fact that a longer time span than that from the ball to Cinderella's wedding might have taken and that can't possibly be the same wand.

I also think Rumple went after Cinderella's Fairy Godmother because he needed a new wand after Robin Hood stole (and apparently kept) his own. This of cours would place Belle's arrival to the Dark Castle before the events in The Shepherd, but that's another matter.

Any thoughts?
