Where we find what happened to Belle (Emilie De Ravin) and where it all comes together for Rumples, finally being able to be a match, or more than, for Victoria (Gabrielle Anwar) and she can no longer threaten him and have a hold over him. Following on the heels of my last ep review, where I said he knows much more than is going on here and with the curse, which was kinda captured here in this episode, where there were still moments where you thought he actually did know.
It's Hallowe'en and Jacinda (Daniela Ramiriz) drops off Lucy's (Alison Fernandez) costume and wants to go trick and treating with her, but that's been tasked to Ivy (Adelaide Kane) who really doesn't want to go but is lumbered cos she doesn't want to face Victoria's wrath. Of course Lucy manages to trick (no pun) her and run away from her. Jacinda can't go find her but Henry (Andrew J West) offers to if she texts him her fave places. Of course that wasn't the reason why Henry was there, it was to ask her out since Ronnie (Lana Parilla) gave him some words of wisdom and encouragement, dressed as Marilyn Monroe, if that don't beat all! After Henry tells her about his family and finding their graves in the cemetery. She says you don't forget the dead, but then again you've got to live too.
Sort of summed up this ep really especially as far as Rumples (Robert Carlyle) and Belle's story was concerned. We find them in the other realm bringing up Gideon from a baby, to teen, to adult, as he shows his love of books like his 'scholarly' mother and heads off to find his own way in the world. Belle telling Rumples they've go to let him go, even if Rumples wanted him around for longer. They had him for 18 years and how those 18 years went on in years with Belle getting older and ageing, whereas Rumples staying the same, being immortal. He tries to rid his dagger so that he too can grow old with her, but finds it returned to him . Of course Rumples gave Belle a book of travels cos he wanted her to travel as a family and keep a record of their memories.
Back in Hyperion Heights, Weaver gives Tilly (Rose Reynolds) an orange marmalade sandwich, she wears a rabbit's mask, so tea party must be involved (treading into Paddington Bear territory.) It's Hallowe'en and she tells him how everyone's wearing masks. He doesn't get it or the allusion. Tilly then does a silly thing by hiding in Victoria's car telling her the jig's up and about them not belonging in Hyperion Heights. She leaves her backpack behind, which Victoria shows Weaver, as well as the pill she's not taking. Pills that Tilly tells Weaver later will shrink her. (As she shrunk when she drank the drink in Alice in Wonderland.) Victoria wants Weaver to make sure she takes the pills otherwise he'll pay, but he says she's his informant. Yeah well he will, but Victoria'll be the one getting payback later.
He meets with Hook Rogers (Colin O'Donoghue) who tells him he doesn't care about anyone anymore not even wanting to deal with Tilly. She shows him the Rubik's cube which she has peeled stickers from it and she says she'll show him why they're all wearing masks. Taking her there, he tells her to eat and she eats the sandwich which contains her pills. Getting to the place before she's affected by her pills. She shows him the teacup which means nothing to him. Of course it's also significant for Alice too, re the tea party. Rumples doesn't recall and she reminds him he was the one who told her about the cup and said she should let him know about it. It's not the chipped cup, but Chip the cup! At least it appeared to be.
Belle says she came across something in a book about the edge of the realm where the sun sets and they go there. This is where she wants to build her home, which they do over the years and live their lives. Eventually Belle grows older and dies, telling Rumples he will find her again and she will wait for him. Thus he's the way he is now as Weaver. He tries to take her back but she pulls out the gun and shoots him. She didn't tell him the meaning about what she found; but it wasn't to find the setting sun but the brightest sun and that was Belle herself.
Ahh Belle tells him he will get rid of the dagger one day and she'll be waiting for him. Telling him the story of their love and how she fell in love with the Beast. Ah, did anyone miss Rumple's long hair and Rumples as Rumples, dearie?!! Tilly even calls him Rumpelstiltskin. In the other realm as Gideon (Giles Matthey) returns home; he wants to take the dagger from him and become the Dark One, but Rumples knows of a guardian who can take it from him and that's who he must find. Guardian? Then of course Gideon did become the Dark One in Storybrooke. Rumples leaves the realm and presumably enters the other realm, but he runs into Alice, as Henry speeds by on his bike. That wasn't some foreshadowing moment since Rumples just mentioned the Guardian?
Ivy cries at not being able to find Lucy and how Victoria will be angry at her. Henry telling her he's lonely too and they both find Lucy, who lets Jacinda have Hallowe'en with her and Henry too, Lucy wanting them to paint her face and Henry will help as it's a family tradition! Funny line Ivy says to Henry about being self-published and he says he was actually paid for the book!!
Hook Rogers playing chess with Alice at the hospital and when he picks up the chess piece, another clue but he's forgotten about that. Obviously Tilly/Alice isn't his daughter, but was just some more for us to ponder. But hey 'Hook Rogers in the Twenty-First Century' could catch on. Yeah my very bad joke! I miss the way he used to say "luv and bloody hell" needed that added and said a few times. Rumples doesn't want Tilly arrested and puts it down to an armed robber, he needs her to find Belle and he sees Belle as he lies unconscious, then waking up. As for Victoria he calls her 'dearie' but she doesn't really react to it, either not giving herself away that she knows who he is, or more that she can't control him anymore.
Ivy buys Henry a drink at the bar and thanks him for helping her. Henry didn't go out with mother and daughter, is there hope for Ivy or is she making a play for Henry, well, gotta ask.
So that was our fond farewell to Belle, sad but a way to get Weaver to realize who he is and find a way to get them out of the curse and away from Victoria's evil scheming. Maybe we'll get to see what happened to Snow and Charming too as they were main characters for 6 seasons.
