The second sneak peek made me absolutely excited about Sunday’s episode. This means we finally get a real story for Belle! She must be pretty desperate to force Rumple to help her and from her perspective and with her current knowledge about the dagger and Rumple’s history with Anna/SQ it’s more like “I’m asking my all powerful husband for help (ONCE) and when I don’t want to tell him about the mistake I’m trying to fix he won’t help me and starts to treat me like a child (see the “I won’t let you anywhere near her”)!”
In my opinion, A&E aren’t making Rumbelle look bad or get even by having Belle messing up but they are trying to show us that no one is black or white, light or dark, good or bad, we are all grey and when pushed into a corner, most people do things they later regret. Belle has been very forgiving in the past and maybe now it’s finally time for Rumple to forgive her.
