It's all linked and all comes down to Rumple losing Bae! Although as this happened due to the seer in the first place then who knows what really started it! Rumple losing Bae finally resulted in Emma coming to our world, meeting Bae and giving a birth to Henry. And given that Henry is quite important to some forces that even Rumple is afraid of, i guess it was all designed by them. Rumple didn't meet the Seer by accident.

Ooo great point! No it certainly wasn't an accident! She picked him out of all soldiers there to speak to, knew him by name (ofc she might have spoken to others, we just didn't see it) but it certainly looked like she picked him specifically.

I cannot wait to find out (1) who the ultimate manipulator is and (2) why he/she wants Henry so badly they're willing to put all these situations into play, and wait centuries just to get to Henry (if he is the actual reason for all of this game play).
