I wonder if there will be any connections to that in this episode. Also if you want to discuss this theory, here is the thread: http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:316070 But Rumple became a beast by killing Zoso

And the beast is typically a much different transformation that what Rumple turned into. We know the show twists the stories. This would be a twist.
