Episode Info:
This penultimate episode was a bit of a doozy, but what else do you expect when the darkest version of Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) shows up to finally make good on an old prophecy?
According to executive producers Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis, his villainy has only just begun!
“He was one of the greatest villains, if not thegreatest, on the show,” Kitsis says of the decision to bring Rumple back as the final boss, so to speak. “For us, we just kind of selfishly wanted to write him and see it one more time. I think you’ll see in the finale that a lot of people have to face themselves as the villain.”
“The show needed to, in our mind, go back to its roots for the ending,” Horowitz adds. “It had to kind of come full circle, so bringing Rumple back as a villain felt just right to us.”
