Do we ever see Rumple in his ef getup in any of the spoiler? Because if not, then it's possible that the warning that Alice gives Henry in epi 1 does come directly from Rumple not Rumple in the present but from the future. Or maybe from the present ( being a see and all). Maybe he's separated from Belle and their son because of what Henry did in the EF2 but Rumple doesn't know exactly what Henry did to cause their current situation just that has to do with Cinderella. And we never got that the man he's drowning is good or bad, just that Rumple is trying to get info from him. Maybe the guy is working for Lady Turmaine (sp?)
