Oh no! If something happens to Belle, I will slip into a coma. This show is going to kill me.
But I do agree that Hook will try to target Belle in some manner. Either by an attempted murder, or by getting close to her and driving Rumpel nuts. I prefer the ladder just because I don’t want anything bad to happen to Belle, but there’s a good chance that the former will take place as well. But lucky for Belle, Emilie has a season long contract from ABC, so she won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
