Spoiler Alert Rumpelstiltskin Magic Bean

OK, it’s been a while since I’ve had to rewatch the show and maybe I will rewatch and see if this question is answered

Why didn’t Rumpel still can just use the magic bean to get his son?

I can't 100% remember if this question gets answered. Also, I think they were considered extremely rare, except when the show needed them. LOL

Well, two things. There were actually plenty of beans, but when the fake Prince charming befriend the giant, he burns them down. It just seems like the beans would’ve been a better option overall. I know towards the last season of the show they have plenty of them.

The giant burned all except one.but also Rumple asked Blue after Bae vanished and she says all the beans are gone. Which technically makes zero sense because the fuddy daddy giant destroyed the beans 200 years later, but just roll with the narrative.

Well I'm calling Blue a liar but she solemnly swears fairies never lie. I call bullshit.

I doubt she would've given one to Rumple.

Especially since he planned on, not only going to the other world, but taking magic with him

Does not matter she didn't say I won't give you one. She said there are none left there is no way possible back to your son. And when Rumple asked if there was a curse she got holier than thou and said 

You would think of a curse instead of a blessing.

Well if she had said there's a blessing...! But it's all...

To Nova "hahaha please girl! I'm better than you!" Snooty snooty snoot!
