Rumple didn't need them to specifically kill someone. He didn't know that Ursual would try to kill Hook. And he definitely did not predict Cruella kidnapping Henry.

Now if you (not specifally you) said, Ursula represented the bitterness and anger, Mal being the pain and the feeling of being wronged, and Cruella standing in a one that splashes into Darkness and have some fun, I could agree. That's how I see it for the most part.

Thanks for sharing that, but I politely disagree with it. Besides that stretch of the imagination, there was no clear representation of it. The promo chronicled the way into Darkness (cool idea), but the execution was poor and Rumple's plan and all that he said was some random failure after failure. It's hard to believe that he is the smartest on the show if he is this bad!
