It may not come as a surprise that the reason Mr. Gold is so good at deal-making and contracts—aside from his true identity—is he’s a lawyer. So, when Mary Margaret (Snow White) is the prime suspect in the murder of Kathryn Nolan (Abigail), he offers his services. Mary Margaret, as wary of Gold’s motives as anyone else, has no choice but to trust him. She follows his legal advice, often with disastrous results. But the morning before Mary Margaret is to be taken to Boston for her trial, Kathryn Nolan reappears, apparently having been abducted by someone. Wonder who would know anything about that?
