Then how do you explain Belle’s appearance in “Dreamy?” She was free and cleary not in any real danger. I don’t think Regina captured Belle immediately after she left Rumpel’s palace.
That’s actually something I was thinking about. I don’t understand how/why she was there. Some characters just seem to pop up in random places like they’re really not supposed to be there. I had the same feeling with the latest appearance of Bae’s friend, Morraine. She shows up when Rumpel leaves Bae and leaves when Rumpel returns. I’m still suspicious of both of these characters in their respective later appearances.
