I always love a good power play by villains, although I sort of dislike Uber-Dark One Rumple being rather perplexed. At least he has the power to stop them, even if they won't die, because he can't die either.

I got to thinking and came up with a prediction for the episode. at first I was thinking the twist will be that Jekyll is the evil version, etc, but....

Current prediction: Hyde and Queenie makes a power move over Mr. Gold by controlling Jekyll (with the help of Serum Queen) to get Belle. Queenie promised to not do anything to Belle, but she didn't promise that she wouldn't help someone else do so. Rumple standardly decides to protect Belle and his child with a protection spell. A step ahead are the Serum Twins with Jekyll infiltrating the Jolly Roger that happens to have Hook on board. Jekyll is forced to go after, perhaps kill Belle (for revenge, of course). That's when Belle as filming spoilers states calls Mr. Gold to drop the spell (so she can escape). Flashback, shows that Rumple seeks this newfound way to perhaps influence a student (aka Regina) to the dark side so he can get the curse casted. Jekyll tries somethings, shenanigans ensue. Mary Lydgate dies at the hands of Jekyll, who blames it on Rumple's interference, and with Rumple's help (before or after) travels to the land of Untold Stories.

This episode will be the end of Hyde, now, the Return of Jafar...I mean, Queenie still doing shenanigans, but without Jekyll to procure the serum to destroy her.
