Well, even if it’s second hand, it still is in keeping with what RC himself said in an interview at CC this summer. He said he thought it was a real shame to see MRJ leave the show. I think RC knows that Bae was the heart and motivator for Rumple–even more so than Belle. And RC has also said in interviews he didn’t necessarily even want Rumple to settle down with Belle, and that if they ever did, it would be final season stuff.
Not to mention just how “off” Bobby has seemed lately. I think he’s 1000% done with this show.
