Rumple never gets and male students... Magic must have the affinity for female students. I think the only male (born) mages we’ve seen might be Jafar and Facilier, but Jafar had weird dirt stuff rollover him which might have been something from his mother and Facilier could have used a lot of trinkets and stuff to gain magic.

Great to see more heart ripping. Facilier is definitely evil with that darkness.

Flashback probably has Rumple discover Alice could be the Guardian but gives up that opportunity (What he gave up for me) which might contrast the present day where he’s desperate due to Samdi’s machinations.
