and tells Gold to stay away from Emma.
When Rumplestiltskin returns home sometime, he finds Milah taking care of their son. She
tells him that she named their son Baelfire and gave him a strong name because he would have
to live with his father’s cowardice. Rumplestiltskin wonders what she means and Milah tells him
that the townspeople have already gotten word that he crippled himself rather than fight. When
he tries to explain, Milah accuses him of being a coward just like his father. Rumplestiltskin
defends his actions, saying that he didn’t want to leave his child fatherless like his own father
did by abandoning him. Disgusted with her husband, Milah tells him that he should have fought–
and died–rather than come back, gives Rumplestiltskin his son, and storms off. He holds his son
in his arms and tells Baelfire that he’ll never abandon him.
Neal tells Gold that he only came back to protect Emma from him when she broke her deal,
and tells him to get out. Gold realizes that Emma and Neal already know each other and demands
an explanation. Henry comes back in and Neal realizes from his age that he was born the same
time that he was with Emma. Emma admits that she lied to Henry about his father dying and
Henry, furious, climbs out on the fire escape and climbs up to the roof. While she goes after him,
Gold asks Neal to give him a chance to talk. Neal refuses until Gold points out that his deal with
Emma was that she would get Neal to talk to him. She will remain indebted to him until Neal
talks to him, and Neal reluctantly gives him three minutes.
At the hospital, Greg calls his girlfriend and tells her that he’s decided to stay in Storybrooke
for a while. When she wonders why, Greg sends her video that he secretly took of Regina using
her magic on Belle.
Hook deciphers the map and tells Cora and Regina where they can find it. They walk off
without him and when he insists on going with them to get his revenge, Cora slams him back
with a spell. As they leave, Regina wonders what her mother plans to do with the Dark One’s
dagger. Cora explains that once they have the dagger, they can control Gold and make him kill
Emma, Mary Margaret, and David.
Henry will think the worst of Gold and be none the wiser about Regina’s involvement, and she
can get her son back.
Up on the roof, Henry asks Emma why she lied to him. She admits that Neal broke her heart
and she wanted to forget that she had ever known him. Angry, Henry tells Emma that she lied to
him just as Regina did and she’s no different than his stepmother. He then tells Emma that he
wants to talk with his father.
Downstairs, Gold asks Neal for the chance to make up for his mistakes. He invites his son to
come back to Storybrooke so that he can use his magic to make Neal a 14-year-old and erase his
memories of all the pain that he suffered since he left the Enchanted Forest.
Furious, Neal refuses to let Gold change what he is and all that he’s become, and accuses his
father of using magic to cover up his mistakes instead of learning from them. He tells Gold that
he spent years with their last memory of Rumplestiltskin choosing power rather than his son
and letting him fall into the pit. Neal tells Gold that now he’s letting him go and walks away.
Years later, the magically-empowered Rumplestiltskin seeks out the seer, now an adult. He
finds her camp and she tells him that she’s been expecting him. Rumplestiltskin admits that
everything she predicted came true and he lost Bae despite his best efforts.
Now he wants a new prophecy, choking her with a spell until she helps. The seer ”looks” at
him with her eyes and tells him that he will find his son after many years, but only after someone
else casts a curse. When she says that she can’t see anything else, Rumplestiltskin wonders what
he can do and the seer says that only he has enough power to see through the veils of time. He
willingly takes her hands and she transfers her power to him.
Emma goes back down to Neal’s apartment and he complains about how she lied about having
a son. She tells him that she didn’t want Henry to know that his father existed but Neal says
that she doesn’t get to make that decision anymore. He goes out on the fire escape and talks
to Henry, who introduces himself. When Neal blames himself for not being there for him, Henry
says that it’s okay because Neal didn’t know that he existed.
Inside, Gold watches Neal and Henry talk.
The seer, dying with the loss of her power, warns Rumplestiltskin that it will take time for him
to decipher the jumble of the future, and he realizes that she wanted to give up her burden. The
woman gives him one piece of advice: Rumplestiltskin will eventually be reunited with his son,
thanks to a boy who is more that he appears... and that boy will be Rumplestiltskin’s undoing.
