"Kill me," Zoso hisses. "No," Rumplestiltskin decides. (Rumplestiltskin controls rather than kills, Bae negotiates rather than runs, Cora delegates rather than confronts, Regina cooperates rather than rebels, and still the curse is cast, the Savior comes, the boy believes, and worlds are torn apart by a father's love. How much really would change if one decision was altered?)
