Since Rumplestiltskin is afraid of heights, Malcolm journeys up alone to retrieve the dust.Īt the top, he grabs a fistful of dust and sprinkles it on himself, though a talking Shadow states that flying is not possible for him since adults don't belong in Neverland.

He and his son go to a tree containing pixie dust flowers. Horrified, Malcolm can't fathom why flying is now impossible until recalling pixie dust is necessary for it to work. He tries to show Rumplestiltskin the ability of flying that comes with the territory, but ends up falling flat on the ground. Once there, Malcolm is ecstatic to be back in a world where anything is possible with the power of belief. Malcolm remembers a place he used to visit in his childhood dreams called Neverland and this is exactly where they decide to go. His son suggests they use a magic bean to start afresh elsewhere. When Rumplestiltskin finds out, Malcolm attempts to explain his actions, though his son blames his father's sly ways as the real reason he can't find a job.

Yet, he goes back to the pub to deceive bystanders into the same card game. He urges him to give the doll a name so it can be real as a protector of sorts. Since Rumplestiltskin is scared of being without him, Malcolm gives his son a straw doll who can serve as a friend while he is away. Left penniless, he drops his son off at a pair of wool spinners while looking for work. After the customer realizes he has been swindled, Malcolm is promptly beat up while the man steals all his money. One day, he tempts a participant into playing as his son, Rumplestiltskin, watches on. In the Enchanted Forest, Malcolm makes a living by tricking people into betting money on his card game.
