Daddy issues, mommy issues, fairy issues… what’s the difference?
Sometimes you have a mom and a dad.
Or just one parent.

It seems harsh, but Rumple has turned it up a notch after getting over Belle.
Um, OKAY, Rumple.
He throws dust on the fairy and ages her significantly.
That Belle and her wits, so clever.
We flash to the past, where Rumple brings Belle a baby that hes stolen.
Clearly, this isnt the first timesomeonehasnt been given a name.
More on that later.
In the Storybrooke library, Belle finds a book with instructions on beating the Dark One.
The strand leads her to the Savior shears, but as she reaches to touch them, they disappear.
In their place, her son appears in the dream world.
But this is Belle, and who knows with that girl.
Belle takes her newfound dream world revelation to Hook and Emma, and she is ready to fight.
But Hook and Emma tell her that they need to handle this one.
Belle has one of her own, though, and decides to run off with the baby.
Hook goes to visit Rumple and mentions his son.
As they look, Emma has another flashback, one so strong it knocks her to the ground.
Rumple escapes, and the first place he goes is to find Belle.
Rumple takes the baby and locks Belle in a room.
Back in Storybrooke, Belle attempts to escape, but its no use.
He says that with this son, he can start over and maybe hell love him.
Because as maniacal as he is, he sure does love Belle.
Meanwhile, Snow and Jasmine meet up to discuss Snows students grades, but mostly Agrabah.
Well discover the result of that in due time.
He follows it up by saying she should never question him again.
She leaves, but we flash back to Belle in captivity.
Her heart is blackened, and Belle has to stop her.
Blue sets her free, and Belle chases after Rumple.
In Storybrooke, Emma and Hook visit Belle at Grannys.
In another flashback, Rumple successfully summons the Black Fairy.
He freezes her and makes the big reveal that shes actually his mother.
She seems pretty shocked about it all, but all he wants to know is why she abandoned him.
Belle gives birth, but asks Blue to be his fairy godmother and to take him far away.
And with that Blue and Gideon disappear.
Rumple shows up to the party just seconds too late, and hesnot pleased.
With nothing left to say, Rumple asks what their sons name, but Belle doesnt budge.
Turns out Rumple issuperbad with kids, as opposed to being marginally bad, like we thought before.
Not to ever be outdone, the Queen says, Good luck finding your son, again.
I hear fairies make wonderful mothers.
The shade cast between these two is catastrophic.
Belles bravery inspires Emma to continue her journey as Savior… as if she was ever going to quit.
