Once Upon A Time ABC

Was the EQ actually traveling between worlds or was the crypt with the hearts transported here? I thought the other world was destroyed. Just wondering if I missed something.

I definitely believe that Rumpy was up to no good.

I didn't think about the EQ traveling between worlds. I thought that she had transported the crypt to the real world, too, since they didn't show any other part of the castle when she went down there.

And yes, in the past epi where she consoled David's "wife" in the kitchen, I thought she made a reference to losing her true love, also. Given the context of the scene, I thought she meant that she had also lost a husband/lover. That's why, when she talked about a big secret that she told Snow, I assumed it had something to do with a lover. Maybe she loved someone her father disapproved of.

But I really like your idea about him trying to find a way into fairytale land :nod I think the fact we know the queen can travel easily between the two must mean something. Maybe Emma and/or Henry will be the first to find their way in. I don't think just finding it will be enough to break the curse though - even if other fairytale characters travel there. Either way, Rumpy was definitely up to no good!

As for the EQ being the miller's daughter...maybe. It definitely makes sense with the name, since we know names having meaning on this show (FYI - "Henry" means "ruler of the home," and is a favorite royal name. Had to check :)). I like the idea about EQ giving up or losing a baby as part of the secret...it would help explain what drove her to adopt Henry in the real world. She can't have realized who he was, otherwise she never would have done it...I think. Does anyone remember exactly how she described who she lost? I thought she said "one true love" last night, which sounds more like a lover than a child. But I think in previous shows she's said Snow caused her to lose the "only one she's ever loved"...which would fit for a child.

I had to re-read the story of Rumpy...and the miller's daughter actually marries a king, which would work here. Maybe the secret Snow told was the actual deal EQ made with Rumpy when she was locked in the tower room and had to spin straw into gold? Maybe the king was so angry that even though she guessed his name and could have kept the baby, he gave the child back to Rumpy. Of course, that would pretty much make the king a jerk and apparently Snow's dad was one of the good guys, so maybe not :lol I hope we find some answers soon.....but not too soon ;)

ITA - Rumple's up to no good! I wonder if that preview is from a show about Rumple? Because in it, he didn't have all the glittery makeup - maybe we'll see where he goes rogue?

Re: the second bolded - this is the only point where I've disagreed with you in all these posts :laugh - I need to figure this out NOW (and would love a daily show like JavaJo mentioned) - the sleuther in me has been bored with my lack of interest in the recent bachelors/ettes but I guess the need to know answers like yesterday hasn't abated. My enquiring mind needs to know! :winkgrin

And the worst part is that the next new episode isn't for another month (horror of horrors)!!! :mmm

kerowyn66, because of the opening we saw in the mine, I'm guessing there might be more than one 'portal' to get into the fairytale land. Just my guess but I bet EQ's got a few ways to get into FTL.

I'm still thinking we might see her actually practice some magic at some point too and that means she'd have to be there - which, I guess, brings up an interesting question - if she worked a spell in FTL, could it be put into place in Storybrooke? Brother, more questions just keep on coming. I thought my speculation was done for the night. :laugh

"Did I forget to shave"? I cracked up when Rumpy said that. He was terrific in that whole scene.

Once it's aired on the East coast it's fair game. Posters who don't want to know what happens before the show airs where they are or before they're able to watch it on DVR/online, etc. should keep out of the thread :up

:laugh Because squeezing Graham's out-of-body heart and making him die wasn't magical enough for you?

Whoa! Wonderful storytelling last episode. The back-story with Graham was absorbing and then when he stood up to her, magnificent revenge....well, not for him. Remember the wolf who caused Emma's car to skid off the road in the first episode? I don't think we've seen the end of him yet.

I. too, wonder what Rumpy was doing "gardening" in the forest. Was he planting, or burying?

Agreed. Once I again I loved him. What would he be doing gardening in the woods? My first thought was that he was digging a hole to bury something in the woods and hide it.

I really didn't think about that, did I? :rofl I guess I considered that an "old" spell versus one she casts now...but I guess crushing the heart would fall into the magic category. :nod
