I take it either of two ways "Because MRJ isn't coming back, Bae isn't Rumple's happy ending." or "Romance is the only thing needed for a happy ending." Emma thought Rumple had a happy ending because he had Belle, even though he just lost his son. Regina finally has Henry, but needs Robin to have her happy ending. That is twisted and what I think they are portraying for now. I think it's that or actor availability. I don't even particularly like older Bae, or a fan of MRJ (though he played the role well). I just want consistency for a 300 old man that had one focus for those 300 years just to toss it aside if he had the chance.
