So my theory is that Gold attached the shadow to both of them and used the dagger to kill himself, thus also dragging Pan down to the Underworld with him. Yeah, but it doesn't explain why Rumple couldn't just roast him.

Even more so, Pan being almost on par with Merlin and Nimue is laughable. I think Pan was actually stronger than them, even Cora. Not to me. I think it was just to refer back to season 1 when Rumple said fairy magic doesn't mix with what he was and Pan was charged by the nuclear fairy dust of Neverland.

Cora was Regina level and actually looked weaker, but more more experienced.
