Episode Discussion 2x13: Tiny

Kidnapped and brought to Storybrooke by Cora, the Giant unleashes his vengeance on the town when a case of mistaken identity leads him to try and settle an old score with David; Mr. Gold, accompanied by Emma and Henry, attempts to depart Storybrooke – hoping to keep his memory intact when he crosses the town line -- and heads to the airport in search of his son Bae; and Greg questions Belle as to what she saw on the night of his car accident. Meanwhile, in the fairytale land that was and against his brothers’ wishes, Anton, the Giant, climbs down the beanstalk and attempts to befriend some humans – whose
intentions may not be so noble.

I meant pre-curse Rumple. Who he was before the curse took them all to Storybrooke. I don't think he knows who Emma is.

What makes you say that?

He wasn't talking to her and he seemed shocked when he saw himself in the mirror in the bathroom. Then he tried to use magic and couldn't and didn't respond when Henry called him Mr. Gold. I think having to take off the scarf to get through security wiped out his memory since there was that ominous thrumming sound and he seemed confused when Emma put the scarf back around his neck. It would be very interesting to have pre-curse Rumple in Storybrooke.

That is a fascinating theory. I would love to see what happens if it is introduced.

I thought he was just extremely scared because he has no magic in the real world. So he wasn't talking to anyone because he doesn't know what to do with himself. Being that he's lived SO many years with Magic.

I love that theory. You are perfectly right, he's been very off since he went through security, and it visibly effected him. I don't think he's as mind-wiped as poor Belle, but he's certainly very different. It'd be great if the next episode picked that up!

That would be bloody awesome. Heart-breaking, too, because with Belle drugged into vegetable AGAIN, he won't get a warm welcome.

Now I have this idea of Belle meeting and getting to know the original, pre-curse Rumplestiltskin. Plot-bunnies!
