I admit, part of me is wondering if Maurice is holding something back. I think her mother died, but what is the real cause of her memory loss? Just the trauma of the event? Or did a certain sorceror take her memories away.
I will admit it would be interesting if the reason Rumple takes Belle originally is because he thinks it’s funny. Never deal with Rumplestiltskin because you’ll never come out on top. Maurice approaches him once again and this time the cost is the girl he “fixed” to begin with. The imp would find it quite irresistable to deal for her the second time.
