If pan got the dark one powers, that means that he was the one who killed rumple. but he wasn't! rumple did it himself by stabbing himself through pan. The dagger is the only thing that can kill the dark one, and if he does it to himself the dark one line ends. But would a dagger through the heart kill pan? maybe? then why on earth would rumple have to sacrifice himself to do it? he'd already gone so far as to stab pan, he didn't have to stab himself too.

And why'd pan's body go back to being old? I guess if he dies as pan his body reverts or something? And even if somehow it counts as him killing rumple (which I doubt it does), the Dark One powers wouldn't revert him back to older form, they'd just add to his current pan powers. I'm not good at explaining things so I stopped debating... Thanks you Jaylor this is EXACTLY what I'm talking about!!!!!!!

Rumple had to do away with Pan by changing him into the Dark one.

That is what changed him into older Malcolm and broke the powers of Neverland. So putting his dagger into Pan gave Pan the power, but at the same time taking it away.

Rumple was free of it by doing away with himself. Clues are all over prior episodes.

Only "thee dagger" can kill Pan. Even if Pan had both powers. He was bound by the rules of the dagger.

But Rumple had to die as well to cancell out and therefore break the Dark one curse.

Its kinda like Aladdin. Al had to change Jafar into the genie in order to defeat him.

Sure that would make Jafar all powerful. But he was still bound to the rules of the genie.

eety beety living space ;D The only problem is.. you can only become the dark one by killing the current dark one with that dagger. Pan didn't do that though! Rumple stabbed himself through pan. I can't imagine that would count as pan killing rumple, thus transfering to him the powers of the dark one.
