Belle kind of announcing the point of the mirror was a strange way to deliver the information. I would have liked to see Rumple explain what she saw and why it happened while trying to calm her down, then have a scene cut in where Rumple has just finished telling the rest of the town and they react.
Belle has always been “exposition” girl, but normally it’s all she ever does. The difference, for me, in this episode is that she got to be play a part in the magic and plot and not just “book girl who knows everything.” I did think it was rather silly that she comes bursting in and says (basically) “Rumple told me all these things and I had to come over right away to let you know all and now I’m going to dump all the information on you and add to the already overwhelming amount of information you just uncovered.” I worry for the casual audience who couldn’t keep up!
