This episode gives us the Prince's backstory. It's a nice touch bringing Midas in. Turns out, the Prince was a twin born to farmers. Rumplestilskin came along and, making a bargain for one of them. He gave the newborn to the King who raised him as his son. However, when that Prince is killed, Rumplestilskin comes back to the farm to get the other twin who will now live in the Prince's place.
The backstory is nice but who really cares. Does it add anything to the present conflict? Nothing whatsoever.
I still want to know what happens when the characters remember the past. What happens when they realize they're all just fairy tale characters?
Series is actually getting slower. Let's close the book on this show once and for all.
