Yeah, this was such a good episode (obviously, this isn't the episode I was talking about when I said it would be obvious who August was). The misdirection in this episode was done very well. We see, here, that August doesn't have very pure intentions for getting Emma to believe that she's "the one", lol. His intentions are entirely selfish and you'll have to keep watching to find out what his motives are for everything! Season 1's ending is really good, that's all I'll say!

The Return- Thank you so much, Travis! I really love this episode a lot, especially all of the twists and turns with August possibly being Rumple's son, Baelfire... only for us to learn that he was only pretending to be so, so he could get his hands on the Dark One dagger. What a brilliant storyline between August and Mr. Gold! And the mystery behind who the stranger really is continues! It's maddening, yet wonderful too! :) I love how August's character is further developed throughout this episode, and I love the mystery still presented by him being here in Storybrooke. I love how Gold comes to be haunted by who August could be, especially when he later comes to suspect that he's quite possibly his own son, whom we finally learn within the flashbacks what happened to him and how Bae and Rumple come to be split apart. I'll get back to the flashbacks in a bit... After Gold catches August snooping in the back of his office, he later speaks with Emma about finding out whether or not she trusts him. And I love Emma's smug response as she states, "More than I trust you." Most definitely smart on Emma's part. But then... Can she really even trust August? :) Next... Gold then enters August's room at Granny's Bed and Breakfast and snoops around looking for any hints of who he might be, and much to his surprise, he finds a drawing of his dagger among August's things. However, it isn't really until he talks with the Blue Fairy, who is cursed as Mother Superior in Storybrooke. And upon blackmailing her with the threat to raise her rent, Gold learns what he already began to suspect that August might be his son, as Mother Superior tells him that August was in town looking for his father and that his and his father's last parting was a difficult one. I also love the scene between Gold and Archie, when Gold comes to Archie for advice upon learning that his son might be in town. I love that this scene allows us to see a different and rare side to Gold as he comes seeking help from someone he has always seen as far beneath him. A cricket who can easily be squashed beneath his boot. I also love that Gold actually accepts Archie's advice to talk with his son and to let him know how he feels. To ask him for forgiveness. At last... Gold and August come face to face as their confrontation begins. And I love their scenes together. Again, we see a rare emotion from Gold that isn't often shown from his character because he's so evil and has shown many times already that power is what is most precious to him. And while we later learn that August isn't actually Baelfire after all upon the revelation that August was deceiving him, I love how August's story is so well acted, not just by Eion Bailey... the actor who plays him, but by his character too. Because up until August attempts to control the Dark One with the dagger, which we learn cannot be done due to there being no magic in Storybrooke since there's no magic in this world... I completely believed him. And I absolutely love Gold's sudden turn against August when the truth comes out, and how Gold threatens August like he's about to kill him, which he most likely would have done had August not also revealed he was dying, and that his efforts have all been to try to make Emma believe in the truth about everything so she can break the curse like she's meant to do. I also love how Gold lets him live so that he can keep trying to get Emma believe, making it clear to us that Gold wants Emma to break the curse as much as August does, and as much as Henry does... all for the purpose of finding his son. Which we learn from the flashbacks that Rumplestiltskin created the dark curse and helped Regina to enact it, all for this purpose. Phenomenal!!! :) Now, onto the backstory between Rumple and Baelfire... First, I love how much Bae longs to find a way to free his father from the Darkness inside of him... the curse that comes from his power. Poor Bae is miserable at home because all of the kids are too afraid to play with him because of who his father is and everyone is afraid to even speak with him because of Rumple. And we see why, since Rumple kills without hardly a reason that merits those he kills from being killed. The man for knocking Bae to the ground that causes him to skin his knee, and the mute maid who worked for Rumple and Bae because she had seen him with the dagger. Both acts of him killing them were cruel and evil. And then... Bae learns from a girl his age who was saved from fighting in the Ogre Wars by Rumplestiltskin sometime earlier, that there is a very powerful being, possibly more powerful than even the Dark One himself, known as Reul Ghorm... the Scottish Gaelic term for "Blue Star", who we later learn to be the Blue Fairy, or simply Blue, as she comes down from the skies to speak with Baelfire upon hearing him call for her. I also love this scene between them, as Bae asks for help to free his father from his curse. Sadly, she doesn't have the kind of power needed to do so because the Dark One curse is beyond even her power. But instead, she gives Bae a magic bean. The last magic bean known to the fairies so that Bae can take the Dark One away from their world to another where magic doesn't exist. To where the evil of the Darkness cannot harm anyone ever again. Which we also learn is somewhere here in our world, as Gold does not have magic in Storybrooke. And no... Bae does not wind up coming to Storybrooke upon falling through the portal. But someplace else here in our world. You will learn what happens to him later on. But remember... Storybrooke was first created through the dark curse created by Rumple and cast by Regina. So, Storybrooke did not exist yet exist then. In regards to you mentioning the possibility that Bae could also be Jack and the Beanstalk, a character in a story in which magic beans comes from... Magic beans are in the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. You are correct. However, in the story, the beans become a giant beanstalk. However, Once Upon a Time twists the idea of the magic beans becoming a beanstalk even further, making it so that they can also take a person to the land of the giants. Makes them into a magical artifact that open up into magical portals too, allowing someone to travel anywhere they're thinking of, including a Land Without Magic. And in Bae's case... specifically our world. It's absolutely brilliant, and I love it! Sadly, when Rumple realizes what's about to happen when Bae finally tells him about the magic bean and how the Blue Fairy gave him a way to open a portal to a world where they can be happy together without dark magic, Rumple freaks out and becomes too afraid to follow his own son through the portal. This whole scene is really tragic, because Rumple lets go of his son and allows him to fall through the portal. Not because Rumple wanted to lose his son, but because his fear of losing his power overtook his senses and allowed him to let go of Bae's arm just enough to break free of his son's grip so that he wouldn't be pulled into the portal as well. At this point... the Darkness inside of Rumple has corrupted his heart so much, that he couldn't lose his power at any cost. That's what the Darkness does to all those who become the Dark One. It feeds on the darkness and fear already inside its host. And the price Rumple paid for such power, was the loss of his son and the only one person he hoped to use his power to protect. Not that I am making any kind of excuses for Rumple. He absolutely is a coward, and he wronged his son for sure. Later... Rumple then confronts Blue, and he grows angry with her for giving his son the bean that took his son away from him. And this is one of the main reasons why Rumple hates all fairies so much, as we learned back in the episode... Dreamy. Gold absolutely blames the fairies for taking his son away from him. There's more between them too, but one of the root causes for his anger towards the fairies and therefore the nuns, is because of this incident. And I love the whole backstory. So good! As for who has shown magic so far... So far, the only magic we've seen is from Emma ever since she's arrived in Storybrooke, as things have slowly begun to change. First... with time moving forward again as the clock tower begins to work again shown in the Pilot. Second... when the mine collapses and the crickets come back in That Still Small Voice. Later... when the fireflies also return in Dreamy. And then... in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter as Emma's kiss allows for Graham to remember who he really is and everything else before Regina kills him. This is the only magic so far that exists in our world. All because of Emma and her being the Savior. As for the magic we see surrounding Graham's heart... Yes, the magic that was still protecting it, allowing for Regina to still maintain her power over Graham, was still enacted, but it's because it was carried over with Regina and everyone else in the curse. Not because Regina still has her power to keep her magic over the heart enacted. Regina. Not even Gold has magic. No one actually does, including Emma except for when she makes things come about simply by her arrival and making things happen because she is the Savior. The little that's changed in Storybrooke because of her, has come from her belief in Henry and wanting to help all of those she's helped since the Pilot. Overall... A phenomenal episode!! I love it so much, so thank you again for your reaction for it, Travis! You have three more episodes to go for season one and I can't wait!!!! Until next time, my friend... Sincerely, Heidi

When you finally find out who August is and who Bae is you should come back and watch this episode again. Cause damn watching this episode with context is.... mind-blowing.
