Have 2 questions, i will tag them spoilers bc is from future epis, and is better to do that than say something wrong:
1st Question: Didnt the paps in SB, said that a double for Belle filmed with Rumple, before the scene of him and Pan put some bad on Zelena head? Or was that all a decoy to pretend emilie was still filming?
2nd question: If the 1st question was a decoy or confusion, if Rumple takes Belle to NY, aka, Land without magic, wouldnt the sleeping curse be gone? or would still be on, even tho there is supposed to not exist magic in NY? Meaning he can try to find a solution, before they go back to SB. Of course, that RB can also kiss,they can go to NY bc he no longer has his powers so he thinks he safer in NY than in SB
Bc im not seeing them taking Rumple powers, they did that on S5a and they still gave him his powers back, bc in the end of the day, present Rumple without powers is not something they know how to write and for them makes him not be interesting and even important to the story, so if RB would have any TLK would have to be only on last season and maybe even last episode, bc for TLk work, Rumple has to not want his powers anymore, something i dont think he wants to give up.
