Lol. And thank you. It is helpful and interesting to hear someone else's thoughts.

That is a good point about the "Rumplestiltskin" persona pre-ceeding his "Mr Gold" one. I hadn't thought of it that way but I suppose you are right.

Of course, if he was just "lucky not to die" and is indeed mortal in Hyperion Heights, he has a very easy way to escape the dagger's hold and rejoin Belle. I can see why him killing himself wouldn't be in keeping with the show's ethos or, indeed, a Disney series ... but if he is so keen to do anything to rejoin her, surely he would be tempted to try it. Unless he thinks he will be dammed if he does. So many unanswered questions.
