Their souls are tied to the Underworld, meaning that Hades took matters into his own hands once Killian refused to sacrifice anyone. She sends Rumple off after a drink at the tavern, and then a drunken man knocks into Milah, spilling beer on her. Pan’s note says that if Rumple uses what’s in the case, they can all be a family again. Hook says he should kill Rumple for what he did back in Storybrooke but because he helped get them out of hell, they’re even for now. Rumple makes a potion with a number of random gross things, including an eyeball, so he can see Belle… who is clearly enjoying herself in Storybrooke with a dwarf at dinner. The cultural significance of ‘Hamilton’s’ diverse cast, To fight back: Harry, Katniss, and what the world really needs right now, Are the Marvel movies real cinema? Rumple destroys the boat and says to Milah, “Congratulations, dearie. (The Charming family!). I have so many feelings. Okay look, this is the status quo, right? Rumple (Robert Carlyle) goes back to his shop and finds a note from his dear old dad telling him the shop is his once again. Everything is happy! Rumple agrees, reluctantly, and leaves the tavern to take care of the healer. Love him or hate him, you cannot say that Rumpelstiltskin does not give Once Upon a Time good TV. They need the antidote to the snake bite but the healer tells them the only way to save Baelfire is to use a potion which costs 100 pieces of gold. The real deal always comes back to bite him, but it is exhausting watching him get away with everyone looking at him a bit differently. She thinks if she can do something generous, she can move on and see him again. Instead, she punished him because she hated his father. That question misses the point. But Hades wants these new friends of his gone because they’re kind of pissing him off. If Rumple doesn’t sink the boat they came in on, then he’ll kill them all. Even though Rumple broke their deal years ago, death doesn’t nullify a contract, here. Why Milah? Regina wants to know if a headstone in the cemetery means everyone is here, and according to Cruella, nope! When Rumple returns, he sends the boat into the river… along with Milah. If it’s tipped over, it means the soul has left, if it’s upright, the person is still here, and if it’s cracked? Emma tells Milah she had a vision of Neal while she was on her way down the river (that sounds strange) and that he’s peacefully crossed over to the other side with no unfinished business. With the knowledge that Belle is pregnant in Storybrooke, Rumpel quickly throws Henry, his grandson, under the bus with the rest of the hero gang to live out eternity under Hades’ watchful eye instead of his own. It looks like HBO Max’s Friends reunion special could be picking up production early next year. So much for that therapy session. Charming, dashing very-much-alive pirate Killian Jones, who quickly wins Milah over by being brave, strong, and suave — everything that her current husband is not. To have a truly cohesive Once Upon a Time season 5 recap, one must sort out all of the trash from all of the threads that will be important in season 6. “Devil’s Due” was not just about what was owed to Hades, but also about another due date. Back in Fairy Tale Land, Milah is trying to convince Rumple to use a dagger and kill the healer. Hades is finally the Hades we all deserve. Milah’s a little hesitant to go along with Rumple because apparently her job in the Underworld (or, as Regina has dubbed it, “Underbrook” and yes we are using that now) is leading kids to school as a crossing guard. He finds the gang at Snow and Charming’s apartment, where they’re assessing the damage done by Cerberus. Rumple knows ALL ABOUT DEALS NOW. Back in Fairy Tale Land, Rumpelstiltskin visits with the healer and the healer recognizes The Dark One from all those years ago. He thinks it was Killian but she says it was Baelfire and that she should have been there for him. Fendrake says the contract they made for his child is binding, so Rumple simply kills him, the way he should have years ago. Regina, for her part, is looking for the Blind Witch. Hades invites Rumple to his lair and lets him sit in his snazzy throne and drink wine while he plays some pool and shoots the breeze. He asks that if she does see him again, he tell Baelfire hello from his dad. Last week’s episode ended with Hook staring at three graves, which Hades has determined will house the forever lost souls of the three friends that get to stay in the Underworld, to even out every lucky soul that gets to leave. To make matters worse, Hades brings back Fendrake. Children get hurt. Cruella and Regina are chatting about how things work in “Underbrooke,” and Cruella has a map to the cemetery plots, explaining there are different meanings to each of the positions of the headstones. She’s talking about Hook, who, if you remember, Milah loved and ran away with because he was everything pre-Dark One Rumple wasn’t. But Hook assures her he comes into port often. Rumpel has never shied away from a deal that would benefit him in his life. He sends Hook off to solitary confinement down the River of Lost Souls, a river that if Hook so much as touches will cause him to be lost forever. If he does sink the boat, then Rumple can go home and be with Belle right away. ? She reaches him just in time and he tells her she shouldn’t be there. On the March 20 episode of Once Upon A Time, Rumple met up with someone from his past, Emma rescued Hook, Rumple betrayed everyone, and we learned that someone is pregnant! In Underbrook, Rumple isn’t happy about what he’s had to do. Now that we are moved on from first loves, it is time to focus on second love and the future therein. But when Emma takes Milah aside and spills the truth of Neal’s future to her, I couldn’t help but want Rumpel to be the first person Emma told that information to. But he tells her she can save the man she loves, and no, that doesn’t apply to him. In order for Rumple’s plan to work, he has to have the aura of a dead person to get into hell. It can’t stand up and Regina uses her magic to help it. Hades is pissed because Hook and his colleagues brought hope into the Underworld and Hades can’t have that. Rumple pulls out his dagger and Hades says he’s there to talk about a deal. Very angry. For now, at least…. She needs him to do something brave for once to save their son. Milah was not exactly encouraging of their future from the sidelines as she told Rumpel to stick to chasing dragonflies as she did all the household chores. She gets emotional telling him goodbye for real, and how he’ll always be her one true love. So basically, any time, he can cash in his debt and take his child — which is great since Hades wants Rumple to work for him… he needs him to do something “only you can do.” Man, Rumple really IS in high demand. The deal is the healer wanted Rumple’s second-born child which they don’t have and Rumple says they never have to have. Everything you’ve ever read about fairy tales is true—the residents of Storybrooke are living proof. Rumple replies, “Everything.” The healer says there’s a terrible price to pay for the potion and it’s not a price to be paid in gold, and Rumple agrees to trade anything to save his son’s life. Hook, surprised Milah was there helping them with the rescue attempt, says, “Hades has much to answer for.”, Regina and Snow walk through the center of town and hear a horse, then they see the poor thing lying hurt on the ground. If you had any doubts about the troubles of their marriage, where Milah’s priorities took a turn, or if Rumpel and Milah gave a damn about their only child, then look no further than “Devil’s Due.”. I’ve finally become the man you always wanted me to be. Milah, unsurprisingly, is not happy to see Rumple, and probably even more disappointed to find out he’s actually not dead. “And you love me for it,” Emma replies. Because he can cash in the debt at any time and take the baby, Hades has forced Rumple into working for him and apparently he’s in need of a service only Rumple can provide. In the boat, Milah and Rumple talk and try to mend their differences. Entertainment Weekly is a registered trademark of Meredith Corporation All Rights Reserved. Before his second child is even born, Rumpel has already inadvertently sold him or her to the ruler of the Underworld. What happens when he returns to Storybrooke? But, hey, “They’re dead, anyway.” Points for Rumple! “You’re impossible,” he says. Back in Fairy Tale Land, Rumple brings home the potion, gives it to Baelfire, and explains what happened back at the healer’s. He proposes he and Emma go because Rumple can get living souls by Hades using a dead person’s aura. Hades put it back together and figured out why the image of his wife affected him so strongly. I don’t think therapy can fix that one. Divorces are ugly.
