I almost feel like it's too obvious because Rumple's portal to the New Enchanted Forest opened up immediately by Alice, and I know they probably also did that to show how they met since we've known since the premiere that there was a connection between the two. However, I got to thinking about it, and one particular thing stuck in my head.

We know Dark Ones have habits to help pass time. Rumple spins straw, Emma wove dream catchers, etc. If Alice were to become the Dark One... she could make hats? It could be a nice little twist that Alice is ALSO the Mad Hatter and making hats is her pastime as the Dark One. Is it too out there? Even if it doesn't happen, I thought it was a fun little idea to think about.
