I agree to that statement undertaker!
I want people to see what Rumpel has been trying to hard to fight of all these years. The thing that has slowly been consuming him, and making him make choices even beyond his control. It greatly saddens me that people blame Rumpelstiltskin, the man, instead of the dark one himself for all his bad choices.
Although i of course don't want him to be dead permanently, just enough for them to start mourning the good and loving mad they had been mistreating for so long, and finally see what the 'real dark one' can be like.
I quite honestly just want them to fear him again, and not feel like they can step all over him.
