YMMV / Once Upon a Time S2 E15 "The Queen Is Dead"

• Fridge Brilliance: Why did Rumple hide the Dark One's dagger in the Clock Tower? Because until Emma's arrival and the curse beginning to unravel, time was stopped there like the rest of the town—i.e., it was symbolic of how his own immortality made time not pass for him either. He even lampshades it by hiding the dagger on the clock hands.
• Rewatch Bonus: While Cora paints Eva to Regina as basically collateral damage to get her daughter on the throne, Cora's speech at Eva's funeral hints she had a personal grudge towards her. The very next episode gives us a hint, and then Bleeding Through explains to us more fully what happened.
