The recent embarrassment and injustice is saying that a dark and troubled man becomes a twisted wizard for his son and spends 300+ years searching for him and manipulates and kills and curses an entire population across dimensions for him and he says many times that his son is his happy ending and now is looking for his happy ending in which he can have everything but won't include his son. That just is illogical. How can an ending which he might be able to get everything not include his son, his motivation for hundreds of years? Belle was never more important than Bae. It went Power >= Bae >>>>>>>Belle. How is it that Rumple's happy ending doesn't include his son? As far as Bae goes, I think the point is Bae is dead, and any magical ways to bring him back would come with a price, as Rumple well knows. So Rumple is going to respect the fact that his son is dead, and died to save him, and move on.
