Frankenstonia. As Viktor is packing up his lab, Rumpy pops in. While his deceased are better kept where they are, he wants to know how Viktor does what he does. He wants to know more and he's willing to pay. He empties a small sack onto the floor. Its contents expand into a huge pile of gold. The deal is Viktor must teach Rumpy to wield the power he wields. Viktor is down with that. Just then Igor enters the lab, when Viktor turns to introduce him to Rumpy, he finds the imp has disappeared. The gold is still there, in living color, on their black and white floor. I write "flaw" there. That's taking my Boston accent to an extreme. Viktor tells Igor to bring the equipment back to the lab. They're staying, and they're going to need a body. We flash forward to...

Storybrooke. Gold's Shop. When Gold hears a noise, he peeks through the blinds, but there's nothing there. Turning back around, he notices a chest that wasn't there, before. Cora appears and startles him. He says, "I'd hoped you were dead, but hey, disappointment's just a part of life. I'm sure we can agree on that."

Cora says her gift is a peace offering. She wants her daughter back. If Rumpy will let Cora try to get Regina back and let them live, she will help him find his son. When Cora nods at the chest, Rumpy opens it to find a completely white globe. Rumpy knows it's enchanted. He wonders if she has any spells to return memories. Cora says, "I only know what you taught me, master." When Rumpy accepts her offer of a truce and shakes her hand, Cora says, "Let's seal it like we used to," and then leans in and kisses him. I've seen some people say they find this more disturbing than Gold and Belle. I don't -- or at least, not on the same level. Her calling him, "Master," is gross, of course, but I'm pretty sure Cora can hold her own. Now I'm hoping Rumpy is Regina's biological father. I think. Maybe. Who knows. It's time to flash forward to the...
