It was a really great line in this episode and really in a way David was right what he said may be turning out to be true. The only thing is for Rumple it’s a different meaning than we may be inclined to think at first glance. He has to show the dark side of him in order to attract Lacey. Belle is able to see the good in him despite the darkness, but Lacey doesn’t appreciate how incredible that is to find because she’s only seen that side. The problem I’m seeing from what I’m looking at is Gold may enjoy going dark a little too much he may lose sight of what he’s lost in Belle. The mirror images of Belle opening up to Rumple and Lacey opening up to Gold was really well done.

Yes, the parallels between Rumbelle and the Gold/Lacey moments were very well done. And even though I’m still heartbroken my OTP isn’t back together, I have tons of faith that somehow it will all be righted. I think he’ll win her back by realizing he doesn’t want to be dark and telling Lacey he can’t be with her because of this. And that will spark something in her and then TLK and Belle comes back and it’s all good.

yeah I can see it going that way but how bout Rumple shows Lacey more darkness than she can handle so she’ll want to bring out the good in him? At this point she found the good in him boring but I’m thinking she’ll have a limit that’ll trigger her wanting to bring back the good side lol

That’s a really interesting twist. I just don’t know if my little heart can take watching Rumple slip back into his very Dark One persona.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I have a feeling that they are going to have to find some common thing that brings out the best in both of their natures. (If Rumple isn’t purely evil then I can’t believe that Lacey is). I bet that it might be over saving Henry or something of the like. Lacey must have sympathy for something, puppies, cups anything?
Well, the problem is that if he goes dark to get Lacey to fall for him, he can’t afford to go so dark that Belle can’t forgive him for it. She’s been willing to forgive a lot, but she does have lines that he can’t cross with her–he has to be honest with her and he has to be more merciful than he’s generally inclined to be. And he KNOWS this. He almost lost her in The Crocodile over the honesty thing, and he saw her reactions to wanting to kill Hook and Regina for hurting her–she didn’t want him to give in to his darkness either time (just as she didn’t want him to with Robin).
So he’s going to have to tread this line very carefully, even without Nealfire in the picture. AND Regina’s betting on his going dark, and baiting him, I think partly because she feels like if she can’t have Henry no one should be allowed to, least of all him. (Gold obviously likes Henry or he wouldn’t be so disturbed by the dream, but it’s more about his relationship with Nealfire than with Henry atm, since he’s scared of what he and Henry might do to each other.)
So he can’t go so dark as to offend Belle or Nealfire if he’s going to win either of them back…but Lacey only likes him dark. Evil, evil Queen.

I think it could be fun though I mean I could picture Rumple doing something so dark it scares Lacey and makes her cringe, it’s just so ironic to get back the person to bring out the good he needs to bring out the bad.

I don’t think she’s really evil she’s just doesn’t know what she’s getting into by bringing out Rumple’s dark side, right now it’s just thrilling for her but I don’t think it’ll continue to be.
Thing is, cursed True Loves are tricky. David’s advice is hard for Rumple because I don’t think he quite knows what Belle fell in love with to start with–he’s still baffled years later in SB when she says it, though pleased. He couldn’t allow himself to believe even when he had fundamental proof in TLK actually working in FTL. So he doesn’t actually understand what she sees in him–what goodness he actually still has–even when she spells it out.
And cursed, especially cursed to make it as difficult as possible on Gold, Lacey’s even trickier. The obvious model is the one he turned to–David and Snow/Mary Margaret. Twice. When Snow took the potion to forget Charming, he had to show that he’d die for her to get her to fall for him again. He showed her a bit of that when they first met and fell in love, too. In SB, the cursed memories made it a lot harder (and Regina’s messing with them hardly helped)–and they did screw up a lot with each other as a result. MM did reject him when he couldn’t have faith in her.
Scary story arc for both Rumple and Belle here. But riveting imo.
