How do you two know each other! Henry "Mom" Okay that's how they know each other

I noticed something this time that I had not before. The pained look on Rumple's face when Henry walks in. The realization that his boy had a boy of his own.....that he never knew about. Like a family curse, every son grows up without a father.

"No, I came to make sure you didn't hurt her." AND IT'S MY APARTMENT!

I like how Henry actually jumps out the window when he finds out XD

The thing that cracks me up about this scene is the fact that Henry literally called his mom Emma all the time but, of course, when the plot calls for it, he immediately calls her Mom lol

Hahah Rumple asked how do you know each other and then he figured it out the minute Henry said "mom" at 1:18....... shit got real

XD Henry hates Emma. Emma hates Baelfire and Rumple. Baelfire hates Rumple. And Rumple hates the whole world What a fantastic family reunion

"You two know each other." *Disgusted Rumple look* *"You two know each other!"*

I love when Neal busts through the door yelling 'Hey!' He's so determined to protect Emma but in the very next moment you see him thinking 'Crap! What am I doing? I'm confronting the guy Ive been terrified of since I was 14. Crap!' He's scared spitless but he steels himself and holds his ground because he's not going to let Emma suffer his father's wrath.

Everything is perfect in this scene. Perfect. Without a line of dialouge the characters convey everything they're feeling, be it Rumple realizing Henry is his foretold grandson, Neal realizing that he had done the same thing to his son that his father had, and Emma's worst fears coming to light.

"Manhattan" has been the best episode of the entire series. I doubt it will ever be topped!

I see what they did here. Fireman Baelfire.

Rumple 1:24 he understood a whole minute before the rest of them.

"Mom! What's going on?!" "W-Who's this?" "My son." "What?!" "Is that Baelfire?" I can't😭

Years later, this is still my favorite scene. ETA: Just checked back on this some more years later. Still watch it every once and a while, but I usually don't bother with the comments. Thanks for the likes! Of course, the acting is stellar, but this was also oz important to the plot, as established by that point. 2 years had been leading up to this, back when things were more planned out and cohesive. Here's some things I can point out that make this my favorite. I really enjoy 1:24 to 1:36. Rumple realizes first and gives a little finger wag. The shock probably silenced him long enough for Nealfire's realization. His impressive rage from just moments before had cooled. Poor Henry didn't get it until a bit later. The way he asked "Is that Baelfire?" was so innocent. Such a sharp contrast to the confusion and hurt he would feel shortly after. The range of emotions from Nealfire is great. The hand gesture at 2:19 is heartbreaking. I also really enjoy watching Emma the entire time. She was so much more resigned after Nealfire burst in, and she was already fairly guarded about having to lie to Gold. Probably knew this wasn't going to end well. The looks at 0:42 and 0:57 really cement it.

That moment when Rumple realized Henry was his grandson...

ELEVEN! Now, why is everyone yelling? HSHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

there like having a life changing conversation and Rumple's just there in the background

I love when rumple see henry said ahh yep he figure it out

This is still my favorite scene from this show. It's so well acted, it's awesome.

AWW Henry was the cutest back then!

His look of "we did the do 11 years ago"

*Me watching* Bae comes into the room Me: "Oh gosh" Mr. Gold asks how they know each other Me: "Oh gosh! Henry comes into the room Me: "Oh crud..." O.O Most intense scene EVER.

henry from season 1 - season 2 is ADORABLE

This scene. This damn scene. Always makes me cry. This is my favorite scene of all OUAT. The actors did a magnificent job!

"ELEVEN... Now why is EVERYONE YELLING" XD Oh Henry 😂😂😂😂

Oh my gosh, this scene right here. Bealfire/Neal pops in and he's thinking, "HEY! Don't touch my woman!" Seconds later, Emma and Neal make it clear that they know each other and he's thinking, "Uh-uh, wait a minute, ya'll already know each other?" Moments later, Henry's like, "Mom?" Rumpel and Neal are looking like, "Wait...mom?" Henry finds out that Neal is his father and Rumpel's looking like, "No! If I don't get a break, none of ya'll ain't getting no break!" The epic "a-ha" family reunion

This show sure knows how to make complicated plot lines

This for me is one of the most powerful scenes of the entire series : Rumple finally reuniting with the son he let down only to find out his son ended up living a similar fate by not raising his child ; Emma reuniting with her one true sad love and wondering whether it was all just a big lie ; Baelfire reuniting with the 2 people he ever cared about and ironically, abandoned.

He should have LIVED!!! Even if he wasn't going to be with Emma he could have at least been there for Henry

I'm watching this episode right now for the time, and through this scene this only thing I could was screaming "Whaaaaaaaaat ? THIS SHOW IS AWESOME !"

I love how in 1:24 Gold is like "Oh, I get how you know each other" and "omg he is my grandson" all in one... as much as we knew Bae was Neal, this was the best reunion I've ever seen! I can't wait for Regina to find out!

1:52 my favourite reaction. It's like Gold feels sorry for Henry being betrayed

Yeah, Rumple's face at 1:53 was so full of emotions..you could see everything he was thinking and feeling in that moment from the desperation to reconnect with his son, discovering that Baelfire fathered a child with Emma, the realization that he's Henry's Grandfather and the shock of watching it all unfold right before his eyes. I think Rumple can sort of relate to Bae in that moment of discovery because even though Rumple knew he had a son, mistakes of the past cost him precious time with him.

Henry: My dad was a fireman. He died. everyone in town: why doesn't your family collect the yearly insurance from his death

I love how brave Neal is protacting Emma shows how much her cares and Henry is just the cutest. Emma looks stunning here and the acting in this is just super wounderful love Once Upon A Time

Poor Henry. Poor Rumplestilskin. Poor everybody! NO BODY can get a break!

OUAT was so tightly written in those early seasons, man

rumple: you two know each Other? emma: yep, he was inside of me. rumple: tmi, miss swan

Best scen ever. The actors are amazing... And Henry finally gets a father..this screams Emmy Award...

Rumple; "All I want is a chance to be heard" Bae: "No" Video ends. Brilliant!

1:22 LOL Gold is like "oh god, you've got to be kidding me." when henry shows up.

Rumplestiltskins face when he finds out the Neal us Henry's father it just amazing as he just realised the his grandson is his undoing

The yelling family... 1- The father-in-law yells at his daughter-in-law 2- The boy wants to help, but the woman yells at her son 3- The father-in-law and his daughter-in-law yell at each other almost getting into a hand to hand combat (I would've liked to see which of these two would've win in a melee) 4- The man storms into the room yelling at his father 5- The man yells at his father again, the woman intervenes and their relation comes to light 6- The old man yells at both of them 7- The boy gets in the middle and prompts the man to yell at him about the kid's age 8- The boy yells back at his father and the whole situation becomes an awkward, sad and intense moment Everyone yelling. Such a good thing they're family, otherwise that would've been like a WWE show if you ask me... and here I thought I was the only one who has such intense moments during family reunions, except that mine are real brawls sometimes... XD

Even after all this time, I still freak out at every revelation!! PERFECTION!

0:02 ... I love when Gold's voice becomes distinctly Rumple, it's a brilliant character choice when he shows the darkness really reclaiming him (or showing its true colors). Eee!

This entire scene is just perfect. Perfectly acted on everyone's part. Bravo.

I remember this scene being SO powerful. I watched it over and over again, just to get all the reactions. Phenomenal acting.

Even when Emma said “you don’t have magic here” you could hear the fear in her voice. That’s how terrifying Rumplestiltskin is even without magic

After all these years, this is still one of my favorite scenes

“Is this my son..?” “Yes.” *Henry jumps out window* Sorry i had to 😂

One of my favorite scene ever in OUAT

1:25 rumple ah ha moment XD

Best-acted scene this series has ever had.

This scene still gives me feels months later.

I LOVED Neal. I wish it would have been Neal, Emma and Henry who ended up together. Swanfire was the best.

The best freaking episode ever

this is hands down the most epic scene in the whole series!! Everyone (except Emma) has their world turned upside down in that single moment

ELEVEN!!!! Niel, dramatically: he's eleven 😂

I loved this episode and this scene made me cry! Neal♥

I loved this scene! It was so sad but put together so well ;) when neal found out henry was his son and henry found out his dad wasnt dead and mr gold was just standing their all awkward.. Wow

Rumple: you came back for me Neal: no I made sure you dont hurt the woman I love. Relationship goals righ there. If that not it I dont what is

When Emma and Neil said each other’s names they where like damnit we fucked uppppppp

Agreed. "How do you know each other?" and at Henry's apparition he seems to say "Oh. THAT's how."

Man i love this scene so much even years after

What’s the irony of all this is that Gold put this whole curse thing in motion just to get back to Bae, and for 10 years he had his blood right there next to him. Even though Rumple is a menace, that prophecy was told to him about a child being his end, I still believe he would’ve watched over Henry if he knew. Possibly using him to get Bae back faster

ITS 2019 AND THIS IS STILL THE BEST SCENE OF OUAT EVER

Oh the joy of having Rumpelstiltskin as your grandfather

Love how when Henry walks in rumple is like ahh that's how they know each other.

I loved Neal and Henry together. So cute.

I was thinking about this scene so I decided to watch it again.

The casting was amazing! Not just the talent but how they really all looked so much alike. You see Henry's face, his eyes and they are so like Emma's and Neal's and even Rumple's when he's in pain.

I miss niel he was awesome

That was the most powerul scence i’ve ever seen

soooo sweet how neal still cares about emma after all these years love them so much together really a pity nothing has become between them

Lol the face Emma and Neal make he told her "he got this" shows they both know letting Rumple grasp they already knew each other had a huge probability of backfiring and they screwed up.

The original bae :3

Rumple: How do you two know each other?!?! Me: It’s a small world after all 😄

Rumple: You're gonna tell me or I'm gonna make you tell me. Emma: You don't have magic here. Rumple: I don't need magic. Uhhh, yeah, you do! Without it you're just a middle aged man with a cane. Emma is a bada** women who took down a dragon and worked as a bounty hunter kicking butt. Looks like Rumple would be the one who needs the help because Emma would kick his butt.

I LOVE this scene, the whole thing is done so beautifully

This is absolutely the best show I have ever seen and im from Maine

"When you can see the future, irony is everywhere!" "The future is like a puzzle with missing pieces, difficult to read, and never quite what you expect." "Apparently, Fate has a sense of humor."

I love how Emma and Neil have this 'oh crap, he's on to us, I'll lie if you look.' when rumple figures out that they know each other

I have a theory about how Rumple found out before Bae about this in this scene : We already know that Rumple always was kinda friendly with Henry, it was the only time he was "truly" friendly and nice with someone in the town, without hiding his sympathy behind something, and it's not because it's a child, we've seen him behind far from nice with children, I mean it's Rumple after all, it's not because it's Regina's son either, he's not afraid at all of Regina especially not since she doesn't have her powers in Storybrooke at the beginning, it's because Henry always reminded him of Bae. Being the son of Neal/Bae, Henry has some of his features, and has the same light in the eyes, he also, during season 2 despised magic like Bae before him, that's why when Rumple said "how do you 2 know each other", Rumple clicked seeing Henry enter the room bc he already saw what he has from Baelfire before he even thought of living Storybrooke. That's just wow!

That look on Rumple's face of "Oh ffs why'd you have to sleep with my son Emma?"

my fav episode from all of the series

Henry has quite the family tree. His biological mother is Emma (daughter of SnowWhite). His biological father is Baelfire (son of Rumpelstiltskin).

Best scene of this episode.

WHY IS EVERYBODY YELLING?!?! Story of my life kid...

Best part in the whole episode! I love Neal's face when he realizes he has a son. I hope Rumple doesn't do anything to Henry. He needs to forget about what the seer said. Can't wait for the next episode to see what Rumple will say about having a grandson.

Rumples face when henry comes in he is just like I know where this is going ms. Swan

Rumplestiltskin: Killed, lied, broke promise to son Bae: Stole, lied, ditched a pregnant Emma and left her to rot in jail. Let the therapy begin!

I love Neal.....lawd have mercy

absolutely love this scene! my absolute favourite from the entire OUAT series!!!. ..however, did anyone notice how only in this particular scene Henry calls Emma "Mom," whereas all the other time he is calling her "Emma..."...to make the scene serve its purpose I guess...lol!

i always find it ironic that emma can detect liars so well but really has a hard time lying herself...

Yeah, "Thanksgiving" is next. Rumple: I'm thankful for finding my son. Bae: I'm thankful that papa isn't crazy and doesn't do his hand movements in this realm. Henry: I'm thankful that my grandpa is Robert Carlyle the Dark One. Emma: I'm thankful that at least Baelfire doesn't say "dearie" to me. *BACK AT STORYBROOKE* Snowing: We're thankful that we finally found each other. Again. Regina: I'm thankful that I have a new dumb plan instead of redemption. Cora: I'm thankful for new clothes. Hook:

I’m glad that Henry got to meet his dad and all but I feel so bad for Emma in this scene she didn’t deserve that

11 years apart and they are still in love with each other. Imagine that.

Its been so so long. Im stull obsessed

Okay someone has to admit the name baelfire is freaking awesome
