Note: this theory has been disproven.
If you had a surprised reaction to Rumple and Cora's kiss during "In The Name Of The Brother," you're not alone; I was pretty surprised myself. After all, it's not the kind of thing you'd expect to see after one of them tried to kill the other with a force field. But aside from their truce being sealed, Rumple and Cora's meeting also gave a few hints about their history. Details of their relationship have been spread over several episodes, and putting them all together should help us figure out what happened in the past.
