Cora gatecrashes the ball at the palace but couldn't remove that tell tale piece of straw from her dress which the King notices. She tells him she can spin straw into gold and the King challenges her to do this or die. Enter Rumples and his contract, he wants her first born child. Regina, he's seen the future. He will help her spin but it will take "bloodlust." All the hatred she feels for the others will help her spin. If she can do this she will marry the Prince (Zak Santiago). Rumples to Cora: "Not a pretty name is it, sounds like something breaking."
Also his "The future is a gift" line.
Rumples returns when Cora is allowed to marry the prince since she's made the kingdom rich again, but she promises Rumples his first born child in an amended contract. She falls for him and he loves her. But to me it seemed she was just using him to gain his secrets and not because she really loved him. Rumples recalls the man who made him kiss his boots in front of Bae. He teaches her how magic is made.
Charming (Josh Dallas) tells Snow she has the purest heart of anyone he's ever known and she reminds him of Cora killing her mother. Henry knows they'll stop Cora. Gold tells Emma to take what's in the bottle and she puts her hand inside to find invisible magic chalk which she must mark in front of the door. They have to fight the others but then how can they when they don't have magic. Gold also gets Emma to cast a protection spell, she has to feel it and use her emotions. Gold tells Snow only the candle can save him, she's "all grown up now" and they have the same interests. She has to whisper Cora's name over Cora's heart and then put the heart back in her body. Gold: "The heart will know."
On the day before her wedding, Cora declares her love for Rumples and she must take the king's heart in vengeance. However she tells the king she doesn't love Prince Henry and yet he tells her love isn't everything. That's why Cora didn't think much of Regina's father in season 1 and why she was more powerful than him. However Regina did love him and that's why she called her 'son' Henry.
Cora and Regina attack and Emma manages to take Regina but Cora gets the dagger back cos Bae (Michael Raymond-James) didn't pick it up when it was lying on the floor all this time. Snow makes her getaway and arrives at the crypt, cursing Cora's heart. Cora sends Regina to look for her and protect her heart as she feels weak, when she arrives Snow tricks her into taking the heart as it's the only way Cora can ever love her. Snow sits outside and tells Charming he was right, she shouldn't have done this.
Cora puts her own heart inside the box and tells Rumples it's cos she loves him and that's her weakness. Now he wont get Regina but he won't get his own child either as he changed the contract. Which explains why Rumples made Regina turn against Cora and teach her magic, sending her to Wonderland. He wanted revenge. She breaks through the forcefield spell and Rumple's name almost disappears from the dagger. She tells him she did love him really.
Regina puts Cora's heart back and Cora feels love for a moment. Then dies saying "you should have been enough." Gold is back to his old self and Regina swears vengeance on Snow, again. It was so easy to put Cora's heart back wasn't it. Regina didn't listen to Snow before and yet she listens to her now. But Cora took Eva's life so she should know how Snow feels. How come Regina couldn't use the spell of purple smoke to conjure herself at the crypt. Rumple's line to Cora of there being irony in being "Snow White" was good.
Gold and Bae manage to make up after all these years as he tells him how sorry he was and he calls Belle (Emilie de Ravin) to tell her he's dying and she was the only one who saw the goodness in him as she does in others. He wants to go back to his good self. Bae wouldn't think he'd hear that from him.
So how will this affect Snow now since her heart is no longer pure, but it was bound to happen since most of the characters are evil or bad before they turn good, such as Red (Meghan Ory) but with Snow it was the opposite. Surprised to see Eva was mean when she was younger, so who taught her to be good as she taught Snow, who has regressed now.
As for the 'enchanted box' couldn't they just use magic to listen in to their conversation.
Gold: "...so when you look in the mirror and don't know who you are, that's who you are..." Was this a clue for Belle, also Regina was the one who used to look in the mirror to see her true self, well you know, "mirror, mirror..."
The Miller's Daughter was of course based on the Rumpelstiltskin fairytale.
