Good point on the banishment of the Black Fairy. This has to be well after the Black Fairy's banishment.

I will be interested to see how they reconcile 3x11 and 3x22. My most likely scenario headcanon (at this point) is that this episode's backstory takes place concurrent to 3x22. Story goes like this. After Rumple encounters Emma and Killian, he somehow manages to steal the wand from Blue in order to be able to reproduce the effects of the Time Travel spell (seeing this as an opportunity to change what happened with him and Bae). He leaves the wand with Emma (as we saw in 3x22), and she does reproduce the spell. But in the process, Rumple drank the forgetting potion  (again, seen in 3x22) and so forgot why he wanted the wand. and to make matters worse, he is confronted by Blue as she retrieves the wand, and sometime during this encounter we find out about the source of Rumple's hatred of Fairies. (as if Blue giving Bae a magic bean was not enough).
