It just seems odd to me that if it was a Neverland Hook centric, Tiger Lily would have not appeared. Maybe she is mentioned or something though? No, I'm 99% sure this is a Black Fairy/Rumple/Gideon episode. The title itself is pretty telling - not sure who else it could to refer to if not the Black Fairy and Gideon. A producer posted a picture of EF Rumple, so he'll be in the flashbacks. There's that young actor who could be young Gideon...

And in the present day Storybrooke, we have multiple days of Rumple/Belle/Gideon and Emma/Snow. Hook seems completely unrelated to the main plot of the episode. Yeah, that's what I thought initally. But the Hook and Black Beard thing is really throwing me. Maybe the weirdness is because Rumple and Belle go to the Dark Realm, and that's where "Hook" and "Black Beard" come in, not really being the real them.
