"Later on, Belle returned the baby back to a couple, revealed to be Jack and Jill, as Rumplestiltskin watched."
"Jack and Jill are from the nursery rhyme of the same name."
[edit]The episode's description, as seen on Comcast, reads, in part: "Rumple uses Jack and Jill's son as bait." I didn't mean to see the description prior to watching the episode, but unfortunately I did read at least that much prior to seeing the episode.
The episode was rather excellent, yet I did not pick up on any mention of either Jack or Jill in the episode. Perhaps I missed it, or perhaps the Comcast episode description was wrong. So, to the Internet I went.
The "Changelings" page at Once Upon a Time Wikia says, "In a Fairy Tale Land flashback, Rumple collects Jack and Jill's son as bait to lure a powerful being to him." The page also lists "Tammy Gillis as Jill/Peasant Wife," "Nick Hunnings as Jack/Peasant," and "Unknown baby as Jack and Jill's Son," and it says, "Jack and Jill from the nursery rhyme of the same name also appear."
The "Changelings" page at Once Upon a Time ABC Wikia says, "In the fairytale land that was, Rumplestiltskin collects Jack and Jill's son as bait to lure a powerful being to him."
Nevertheless, neither page describes exactly where in the episode the baby's parents' identity is revealed. Does Wikipedia concur that the parents are Jack and Jill, thought I?
Yes. The page, as it currently stands, says the parents are Jack and Jill, and even implies that their identity is revealed in the scene where Belle returns their baby to them.
So, I went back to the episode and rewatched that scene. No names are mentioned therein, just as I thought. Indeed, the scene is fairly voiceless.
Then, I figured I might as well rewatch the scene in which Rumplestiltskin initially chucks the baby at Belle. I was correct that in addition to no baby name being revealed, no parental names were revealed, either.
Hell, I figured I might as well rewatch the Black Færie scene, too, just to be safe, even though I was sure the baby's parents' name was not revealed there, either. I was correct.
Am I missing something? Are the parents' names mentioned somewhere in this episode? I mean, if not, then I would suggest we should remove all mention of Jack and Jill from this page. Only if I am mistaken and their names actually are revealed in this (or a later) episode to be Jack and Jill should the reference remain in the article. Where is it? Where in the episode are the names revealed?

[edit]We have an article Changeling. The plural should direct there not to this TV episode. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:35, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
