It sounds as if Regina wanted an alibi. Who’s to say Regina gave Belle the real dagger?
Interesting theory, or Belle knew exactly what she was doing when she gave Rumple the dagger lol.
In all seriousness though, when Regina put Zelena’s locket in her vault, the Evil Queen theme played. Could it possibly be hinting at something?
