The writers of this show write their characters OOC very often in order for them to serve the plot. Rumple has been acting OOC in this episode and for a long time otherwise the OP (and a lot of other people from the fandoms) would not speculate crackpot theories about perhaps that's not Rumple (because the real Rumple, the complex character we've known in the earlier seasons wouldn't have acted the way current Rumple acted in the episode therefore there must be some sort of twist to explain it like it's a completely different person).
