True.... of all the theories about Rapunzel, it fits in the most with what we already know about S7.

Lady Tremaine wants to keep the fairytale characters from ever finding each other. Hook is missing someone or something, who/that is not Emma. None of the returning Storybrooke characters have aged, despite years clearly passing. Eddy and Adam implied, the thing that attacked adult Henry, would have a personal connection to him. Last but not least, this is OUaT and everyone is related.
