Because Obviously Robin is in Oz with Zelena in the flashback (and we'll see him in Sherwood forest as well to set up the Oz trip, based on both the guest cast and the BTS pics that have been posted elsewhere on the Magic Box). And the person laid up is definitly Gold and not Rumple. (see the US Promo, around the 0:18 mark).

I'm not saying that you're wrong, just that it would be out of the ordinary for there to be 2 flashback storylines in addition to the Present day. Not unheard of, just out of the ordinary. I don't think we're getting present-day events at all in Heart Of Gold. They said this episode would show how Robin adjusted to NYC life, which happened six weeks ago. So the "present" events will happen immediately after Heroes and Villains, while the flashbacks will be true flashbacks. Gold must've been in NYC the entire six weeks as well, which is why we get interaction from both of them.
