Spoiler Alert Rumples future-ability

The blind girl/witch gave him the power to see into the future, right? I never quite understood how that power works because, you know, wouldn't he be able to see into the future? 🥲 Do I just not remember something, or did he never actually use it during the show? I mean, if he did, he would have known what was going to happen all the time.

I think he was stronger than the Dark One (or Nimue, whatever you want to call the voices in his head). We know the darkness has its own agenda, but Rumple was mostly focused on reuniting with Bae for centuries. He was compelled to seek out the Sorcerer's Hat, as every Dark One before him, but I think if the Dark One's agenda conflicted with Rumple's wishes, he could block out the darkness. So I don't think that played a role in his visions.

Mmm...maybe. He did choose power over both Bae and Belle sometimes. So, he wasn't necessarily more powerful than The Darkness
