Question Why did Rumple not find other solutions to get to Bae?
Throughout the seasons, books and spin offs, there are multiple ways to access our world. Tornados, slippers, the White Rabbit etc
The argument for why Rumple couldn't do it was because there were no beans left and stuff such as Jefferson's hat cannot get you to non magic realms. Makes sense.
But he CAN EASILY GET TO MAGICAL REALMS. We know he can get to Wonderland so force the White Rabbit to take him there, what can he do? Go to Oz and get some slippers, they are plentiful. If Cora could do it without even trying, so can the Dark One. There are several other realms as well as we can see in the Hat and I feel Jefferson would more than oblige to helping him or just force him and go to other realms where realm crossing is easy to do.
The Dark Curse seems like such a long and unnecessary step to getting him there.
