If there’s one thing I want to see this episode, it’s Belle finding out about the dagger. It’s been almost an entire arc since they’ve set this up, and I am getting constantly annoyed that it keeps getting dropped (did anyone else expect Belle to overhear the conversation between Rumple and Hook?).
If things don’t come to a head with that, I’ll be pretty upset.
That does seem like a Winter Finale worthy revelation. Would make sense for Belle to finally figure it out just as Rumple’s attempting to finalize his plans. I also think that the tape Rumple has of Hook assisting in the absorption of the Apprentice into the hat will re-emerge. Hook will spill the beans that Rumple bewitched the tape, and then maybe Emma will use her magic to un-bewitch it and see Rumple back on the tape. Then perhaps someone will put two and two together, and realize that maybe Rumple did kill Zelena and that he used the same tape manipulating spell on the Sheriff’s station security footage.
