So what will Rumple have to do to earn Belle’s forgiveness at this point? What would make this ship work again for those who have jumped ship based on Rumple’s behavior since S4 started?
To be perfectly honest? Nothing. Giving up the darkness is good and all but it doesn’t negate all the bad he’s done. I don’t care what kind of platitudes the show sends about how one good deed wipes out all the bad…it doesn’t. Not when your bad deeds are murder and your good deed is giving something up that you had already gotten rid of previously before selfishly taking it back because you really really love it.
