Poor Rumpy is still suffering and bleeding. He tells Emma he's beginning to feel a bit stronger. I am not crazy about the fact that, since he's immortal, he can die by anything other than the Dark One dagger. If he'd died in New York, I'd be okay because he didn't have his powers there, but he's back in Storybrooke, now. Why doesn't the wound disappear (poison or not, magical poison or not), or at least, now that he's back in Magic-town, why doesn't he try to heal it? This is just my latest problem with the mythology and use of magic on this show. It works and fails as is convenient. Really Show, if/since magic is going to feature so prominently, you need some rules. Instead, Rumpy just mumbles something about going back to his shop. There's magic there that can protect them. Henry knows this is his cue to leave. And poor Red, who has barely spoken a line, has pulled the short straw on babysitting duty. Before the boy leaves, he throws a small bone and is actually nice to her. "Don't look so worried. You'll stop Cora. You won't let her get away." We flash back to...
Random Kingdom. Cora peers out the tower window looking for an escape, but there's none to be found. She's startled by Rumpy's tee-heeing, but even his gold speckled skin isn't enough to make her loose her wits. She knows if he found his way in, there must be some way out for her.
