Rumple: "I'll Never EVER leave you" (Once Upon A Time S2E14)

[@ztslovebird]

This was the greatest act of courage ever taken by this show. Crippling himself, letting himself be labelled a coward, limping home for 8 months, all for a child he had never seen before.

[@20centuryfox100]

ztslovebird Could not have put it any better myself

[@Moakmeister]

It has no relevance now. In Bear and the Bow Rumple told Belle he did it because he was afraid of dying, not to be with his son. They ruined it D:

[@ztslovebird]

Ben Moak Damnit! Is there any way to say he was under a spell, or was just lying to drive Belle away because he loves to torture himself?

[@ztslovebird]

angelpurple2000 To be fair, I think he volunteered for the war as opposed to being drafted. He chose to fight, then chose to leave before the fighting even began. But I also think he was lying when he said he left only for self-preservation. Rumple has self esteem issues, and was in the middle of one of his more cynical episodes when he said he left because he was a coward. And Milah didn't want to fight - she just wanted to be able to say she married a fighter. Which is why she left him for a pirate - she wanted a shinier man-purse to show off all over town.

[@EmptyMan000]

Indeed, you can't volunteered when you're drafted. Milah was terrible though. If she wanted a courageous man, why didn't she just marry someone else instead of Rumple? He's been like this for a while, did she want a fixer upper relationship like most selfish women do?

"It's alright. Your papa's here..." My heart broke!!!

[@shirelvictorica4141]

[@AnarielAnastil]

I love how the baby reaches up and touches his nose. Since it's a real baby, I assume that wasn't part of the script, which means the camera caught a genuinely cute moment of that baby reaching out to Robert Carlyle, and he just went with it and kept acting. Makes the scene ten times sweeter. :)

[@hollysimpson9512]

Lady A It was probably a genuine smile from Carlyle, though :)

[@coralroper6876]

Maybe I'm just weird like that, but I think if I were married, and my husband went off to war, I'd rather have him come back alive than die as a hero.

[@EmptyMan000]

Dead heroes can't be fathers or lovers.

[@elizabethhughes6312]

So true.

[@xCanYouFeelTheLovex]

I think that's part of the issue, too. Milah never really loved Rumple. So if he did die, she wouldn't give a shit. Though, given the kind of mother she was, Bae was lucky to have a good papa. At least for the first dozen years or so.

[@elizabethhughes6312]

+xCanYouFeelTheLovex yeah if you think about it nothing would have ever happened if Milah hadn't married rumple cause he had Regina cast the curse to find his child and he wouldn't of become the dark one if he didn't have bae so he never would have taught Cora the curse would never have happened and so on... Lol

[@xCanYouFeelTheLovex]

SilverSpoonsuploader I'm not sure that's something we ever learn. I'm going to assume it was either arranged or she was even worse off before him. I also think she may have had some positive feelings prior to this. Before he went to war, she didn't want him to.

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

Although I felt a little sad for Milah in season 5 when we met her in the Underworld, she has to be one of my least favorite characters on the show. All she ever did was belittle Rumple and treat him like crap the entire time we saw her alive. Yes, Rumple has made plenty of cowardly choices in his life. But that's really no excuse for the way she treated him. All she cared about was her family's image, and then she selfishly abandoned her own son to be with another man. Rumple may have let Bae go in a moment of panic, but Milah willingly and knowingly left him behind and really did NOTHING to try to fix it, while Rumple spent the next two hundred years of his life trying to make it right. Milah just... wasn't a very nice person... On the other hand, how darn sweet was it to watch Rumple hold Bae for the first time? You can just see the love in his eyes. A very flawed man indeed, but the love he has always had for his son is as true as it gets.

[@littlesongbird1]

Makes me wonder why the were even married...was it at an arranged marriage or were they both just so desperate to get married (as it was probably just expected that you did at a certain age that they married each other).

[@edenn8452]

also, hook said that milah regretted leaving bae but like you could've just gone back?? meanwhile everything rumple did was to find his son

[@PittsburghSportsFan43]

@@littlesongbird1 I think originally they were in love. At least Rumple was. You can see it earlier in this episode or season when Rumple's called to fight. Originally Milah didn't want him to go. Rumple wanted to to prove he wasn't a coward. But what's truly horrible about her is she would rather be a widow, with her son growing up without his dad than be married to a man who just didn't want to die in war. Rumple would have fought had it not been for that seer, so she deserves some blame too.

Could be, but we don't know what their courtship was like. It could have been an arranged marriage, or "love at first sight," or what have you. Heck, for all we know they were childhood sweethearts. In the opening flashback, she actually seemed hesitant and concerned about Rumple going off to fight, and he had to talk her into being enthusiastic about it.

I don't think Milah should have had to stay with Rumple if she didn't love him and was miserable as a wife and mother, but she should have done the honorable thing and said, I can't do this anymore, I'm sorry but I have to leave. Instead she decided to sneak off and let her husband think she had been kidnapped and taken to be used as a sex slave for Hook and his crew. That was unforgivably cruel and selfish. She is every bit as much a coward as Rumple ever was. Good riddance to bad baggage!

[@shonascott5499]

well, back in those kind of times wives were basically the property of their husband and couldn't leave them. while Milah was a bitch, I do sympathize with her since she lived a horrible life and while she originally did love Rumple, he wouldn't let them leave to go somewhere where they could be happy because he was afraid. Milah was stuck in a loveless marriage and in a village that treated her and Baelfire like dirt because of her husband who was known as a son of a coward and a coward himself. she couldn't leave Rumple or convince him to leave, so lying was the only shot she had when hook gave her the offer to find somewhere else to be happy and she originally did plan to go back for Bae once they found somewhere where he could be happy but then Rumple became the dark one and...

It's one thing to not love someone you married or fall out of love with your spouse and it's another to treat that spouse like dirt when they've at least treated you well.

[@shonascott5499]

@@Lily-kl1of Yeah but with context Milah didn't actually WANT to leave her FAMILY. Before Bae was born and before Rumple went to war, Milah wanted to leave the village WITH Rumple to start a new life somewhere no one knew Rumple as the "coward's son" but Rumple refused out of probably fear of the unknown. Rumple knew Milah wasn't happy and forced her to stay there, so by the time Bae was born and he was crippled she was extremely unhappy and now resentful to Rumple. Was it right for Milah to leave? No, absolutely not. But Rumple gave her no other option, HE was the one stopping them from making a better life somewhere else and pushed Milah, who loved Rumple at the start, to become resentful and to leave him secretly because Rumple WOULDN'T LET HER.

[@Lily-kl1of]

milah is a bitch

[@adelinecarol]

Why are there comments here thinking that Rumple isn't Bae's biological father? Who is the suspected biological father then? Just curious. :(

[@broadwaygirl84]

+adelinecarol The person who was the Dark One before Rumple provoked him into attacking him, and one of the things he said was basically "Bet your son isn't even really yours." No real reason to believe he isn't. The previous dark one wanted to be attacked and killed so that the curse would be passed. Rumple origionally only wanted the dagger to control the dark one and protect Bae, not become the dark one himself

[@lpallad1]

@@broadwaygirl84 No. He had already decided to kill him because, as he himself said, the idea of ​​keeping the Dark One under control scared him (because rightly so, if something went wrong he could kill him). So killing him and taking his powers was the most easy and safe.

Milah was a horrible person. You could tell she was hoping he would have died in battle because she never loved him.

true, rumple is hurts himself to find his family and that's how than milah welcomes him, she's a bitch.

I'm not saying that Rumple isn't an idiot but if a person that has never seen ouat say this video i think i know who tey would pick if i asked them 'who is the coward here'

[@SushiDesBois]

Seeing that again, I really think Milah created the Dark Rumple. He was able to injure himself, knowing he would be in constant physical pain, just to be sure he could be with his son and wife, and they won’t become a widow or an fatherless child. He loved them so much, and Milah was nos able to be good with him. She didn’t want to understand what he was aiming doing that. By telling him that he was a coward, she just make his think the same, and he that’s exactly why he wanted to become someone more powerful. She could have accepted him like he was, moved somewhere else and just get rid of all these unfortunate memories. They could’ve been happy all three of them… But she decided to chose vanity and anger. Too bad.

[@soixsantes]

honestly i hate milah, she considers rumple like a coward and a good-for-nothing

Yeah. But before he became the Dark One, Bae never complained about his father and truly loved him.

[@soixsantes]

yes, rumple was afraid of dying And that's why he's mutilated himself

[@soixsantes]

and milah never forgave him for his cowardice and is weakness.

[@soixsantes]

and that's why she has wanted to leave with hook, because than she could no longer stand that rumple was a good-for-nothing.

[@lpallad1]

@@soixsantes Too bad it wasn't. The truth is, not only did Milah underestimate him, but also Rumple underestimated himself. Let's face it, the dagger gave him great powers, but it didn't make him smarter. His cunning came directly from him. So the only good thing about the dagger is that it showed Rumple what he can do when he doesn't let fear stop him.

[@Cassadinegirlaz]

As much as Milah seems horrible here, if Rumple is really facing the stigma she claims he is ... what happens to Bae when he wants to make friends, get a job, get married? Will his father's reputation haunt him for the rest of life? And what about the other men that fought and died, didn't they have wives and sons they loved too? I suppose it would be different if they weren't fighting Ogres, but it's a medieval society, and you were expected to fight when they tell you to fight.

[@lpallad1]

From what we saw Bae had a normal life despite everything, as he never complained about his father and always loved him. The problems started only after he became the dark one.

[@etazeta674]

That last line decidedly did not age well

[@soixsantes]

Unfortunately he abandoned it, but has did everything to find him

[@soixsantes]

and baelfire is what than rumple loves the most in his life.

[@soixsantes]

and it was precisely for baelfire that rumple has wanted to become the dark one.

Worst parents: Pan, Fiona, Cora, Milah, Lady Tremaine, Gothel, King George.

[@Bannar]

All the commenters going "Wow, Milah's such a bitch!" really aren't thinking about the context of this. Milah genuinely DID love Rumple when she married him, he told her that he was not a coward like his father before him, and she was supportive of his attempts to better himself even though she didn't always agree with his actions. Now, think of how this situation would look like from her perspective. Her husband, the man she loved, the man who swore to her that he would not ever continue his father's legacy of cowardice...did something cowardly on the battlefield to get out of fighting. Not only would Milah now have to live with society shaming her for being married to a coward, but suddenly it seems to her like she married a man she didn't really know at all - like Rumple lied to her about not being like his father, when in truth he was exactly like him. That's why she'd later say "I never loved YOU." She felt like she only fell in love with an image of Rumple that wasn't true to who he really was. We see all this from Rumple's perspective, so we know his motives for his actions. But thinking about how it would look to Milah suddenly makes her behavior make a bit more sense, and it explains the bouts of clinical depression that she had afterwards when she was always going out to taverns and stuff. Though even then, she still TRIED to save the marriage by asking Rumple to start over with her, but Rumple's pride wouldn't let him listen to her. Milah and Rumple were BOTH flawed people and ultimately terrible parents.

[@Bannar]

After having abandoned his son in an unknown world in the first place, yeah.

[@Bannar]

Lmar daggerwolf Milah and Rumple were terrible parents. That's the easy explanation for all of that. Your assessment of Killian is wrong, though. We never saw him do much killing or any raping, and she went with him because he treated her well. In her marriage with Rumple, neither he or Milah treated one another very well after Rumple's act of cowardice on the battlefield.

[@Bannar]

Lmar daggerwolf You are literally describing things that never happened. Killian and Milah were talking on equal terms at the tavern (getting themselves BOTH drunk included), we never saw them in bed together, and Milah made the decision to leave her family behind - Killian assisted her in escaping her marriage to Rumple because he respected her agency and wanted her to do whatever made her happy.

[@tiarempel]

+Bannar I like killian but I hate Milah, in the end she chose her reputation over family and abandoned her own son, Rumple may have done a cowardly thing but he did it for his son, he did it to be with his son, so Rumple was not like his father since Rumple actually wanted to be with his son.

[@GothBiDemiGirl]

Gold said later on "I didn't do it for bae, I did it so I wouldn't die" or something like that to bell when he was on the run from Emma I believe. I know he said that but idk when. I can see why Mila and Rumple didn't work out. Mila was Brave and cunning, she was willing to kill to save her child and likes having a saying how her life goes but Rumple was a coward and had no backbone. He did things that put her in a position where she had no say over her life, like when he sold his second born child without her permission or consent or even knowledge. Technically they should have been able to call upon the Blue Fairy or baelfire's fairy godmother but still. She has a pirate's heart and he has a coward's heart. They could have just taken it without trying to kill but meh.... Mila has a pirate's heart and is very brave. Mila wanted adventure fun and risks and Rumple was very cowardly so wouldn't do any of that. Mila wanted to say in her life and a happy one but Rumple made her life narrow and baelfire bound her to a life of misery. Her frustration and life probably made her act out on Rumple who she blames for all of it. And it technically it's his fault. He could have chose to fight with honor but he didn't.

I love Milah! Even if she's harsh she's right.
