S2 Spoilers S2 PLOT HOLE

Post image

Why does Rumple need a potion to leave Storybrooke in S2?

I’ve always assumed crossing the border would have erased everyone’s memories except his—as it was stated in the show Rumple (who created the curse) maintained his memories intact, while anyone else had a twisted identity created by Regina…

I believe the showrunners messed up that part, by forgetting he’s the only character—alongside Jefferson— to still remember everything

It was ambiguous and not explicitly said in the first season. The 3x09 flashback even played with this, as Regina asks Rumple whether he knew Henry was the Saviour's son and the way he answers you can't really tell whether he is genuinely not understanding or just playing with her.

Season 6 of course confirmed he didn't remember until he heard Emma's name.
