The second sneak peek feels awkward to me. It feels like Belle assumes they tried to help her, and Emma acts like “oh crap, we forgot about her, let’s just not tell her that (cause then she’ll stop babysit my brother and I’ll be the one who has to do it).”.
Agreed. Hook actually comes off looking better in that scene than Emma does. It seemed to imply that Hook was suggesting Belle stay at Emma’s house (I’m assuming he’s living there as well) and Emma’s like all “I don’t want her there but I can’t say that to her face so I’m going to make up a lame excuse”. I’m also getting annoyed how articles are saying that Belle is trying to hide from Rumple and that he’s going to be really dark this season which implies that she’s afraid of him (with undertones that she’s trying to escape an abusive relationship) and that is not the case at all. Belle and Rumple have split and Belle is trying to find somewhere else to live. She was looking for a room at Granny’s (which Emma disparages with the mattress comment despite Granny being right there). It seems like Emma is all “You don’t want to stay at Granny’s but I don’t want you living with me”.
And it feels especially wrong that she tries to get help from two people who tried to kill her but never had any kind of remorse about it.
