Business Man (2.13)

The Business Man is an unnamed man who ran into Rumple, Emma and Henry at an airport in "Tiny".

Season 2
At Logan International Airport, Emma, Gold and Henry are seen receiving their plane tickets before heading over to customs. In the queue, Henry asks Mr. Gold if he's ever been outside of Storybrooke before, and Gold replies that he hasn't, his tone making it clear that it's obvious. Henry then wonders if he's nervous and Gold again answers negatively. Henry then asks if Gold's worried about meeting his son but he exclaims that he's fine. Emma suggests that they talk about all of this later and ushers her kid up the queue, telling him that they're next, and as the kid moves forward, he notes that it must be really hard not to use magic and be like everyone else. He proceeds to place his coat and shoes in a basket ready to be carried away, and Emma begins to do the same, pulling out a basket for Gold and telling him that he's got to put his shoes in. He looks at her, confused, and states, "How terribly uncivilized." Henry walks through the security gate as Gold removes his shoes and places them in the basket. The TSA agent standing there tells him that his scarf and cane have to go in, too, and Gold appears confused once more. The security guard repeats himself and Gold turns to Emma, who sighs, telling her that he can't. The blonde says that he has to and the business man behind them tells Gold that it's not rocket science, asking him if he's ever been on a plane before.

Rumple grips his cane and asks the man, "Have you ever been impaled upon a cane before?" Emma restrains the pawnbroker and apologizes to the man, saying that her father (referring to Gold) is a little nervous as they're headed to a family reunion. Gold seems confused as to why she called him her father but Emma shushes him, telling him to put his shawl in the bin and that she'll help him get through it. Gold reminds her that if he lets it go, he could forget who he is, but Emma assures him that she's not going to let that happen. Gold takes deep breaths, agreeing, before removing Bae's shawl and placing it into the security bin. Once he removes it, Rumple becomes dazed and confused as his surroundings become blurry and unclear. He stumbles, disorientated, but Emma stabilizes him as they pass through the security gate. Once they do so, Emma grabs the basket which passes through via conveyor belt as fast as she can, taking the shawl from it and hurriedly draping it around Gold's neck. The disorientation ends and Rumplestiltskin returns, nodding at Emma to assure her of this. The next thing heard is Henry exclaiming that there's a Cinnabons and running towards it, and Emma smiles as Mr. Gold adjusts to what he's just been through.
