Some interesting theory juices flowing here!

I personally figured this flashback would be to in between the flashbacks of what I think was 1x07...the first Rumplestiltskin backstory episode-forget what it's called aha. As in, a flashback to the time that Zoso was with Rumplestiltskin before he became the DO and while Zoso was DO.

I also like the theory that Rumple talked to his ghost, however.

And I hope Zoso wasn't the first DO, or at least that they don't set that up yet! It would close off so many possibilities...like, WHAT IF MERLIN WAS A DARK ONE ;O

IDK I'm just grasping at straws there but you get my point I hope
