– EQ and Rumple kiss. Listen, I get she wants something from him and needs him to take Snow’s heart but these two never had this relationship before and it just doesn’t feel right on screen. At least Belle didn’t have to see it.
I THINK the reason they are having EQ & R scenes is two fold…. 1/ The show EQ will do anything to get what she wants especially since the good/Regina was cleaved from her. She can now run amuck. 2/ By showing Gold resisting EQ it shows he loves Belle … his love is stalwart. I have not witnessed any response from Gold other than repugnance. I think A&E are trying to show GOLD in a better light but are having a hard time coming up with ideas …. they can not show him doing good deeds as that would be against character.
