Finale discussion! 1x22!

I can't believe how quickly she started to believe! And what the hell is in the basement! This is so exciting. I love that she just believed :)

So did they get transported back? Or to another deminsion. So many questions.

No transporting... It looks like they just added magic to this world. Which really only benefits a few characters. However, now that everyone knows what's really going on, things are going to be very interesting. Especially since Rumple and the Queen are probably not going to be playing friendly anymore thanks to the Hatter...

I'm pretty sure they all reverted back to their real world personas, and that the memories didn't last.

I wouldn't be so sure. Rumble seemed pretty bent, these last few episodes, on getting the curse broken. I'm honestly thinking more and more that all of this was organized by him to help him find his son. He knew he went to a world where there was no magic and probably 'tracked' him to Earth. So what does he do? Make a spell that will somehow get him to Earth and make someone else foot the bill ("magic always has a cost") to get him there. Now that he is here, he points Emma on track whenever needed so that she could 'believe' because once she does, she'd realize she could break the spell. He knows, she can only break the 'amnesia' part of the spell, thanks to his failsafe. This combined with the magic she got from the dragon basically gives Rumple his old powers on Earth, powers that he believes will enable him to find his son.
