That's an interesting take on the dagger. That's definitely something that has never been done before for the current Dark One to use the dagger on himself. I do think if Mr. Gold/Rumplestiltskin used the dagger to kill himself, the blade would end his life because getting stabbed with it, no matter the circumstance, means death, right? Unless something different is supposed to happen if the Dark One stabs himself. I could see the irony of stabbing oneself with the dagger thinking death is imminent wth the forfeit of the powers, but what if doing that is Rumplestiltskin's redemption, and for his sacrifice, he can live ?
