How does Gothel know about Belle? Rumple came to newEF after Belle died and I don’t think Emilie is doing any more episodes so Gothel meeting Belle and Rumple in a flashback isn’t really an option.
My only guess is that after she was freed, Gothel traveled around and met Rumbelle during their “great wide somewhere” adventure. I guess she’s ageless like Rumple since Rumbelle were living in a realm that sped up time.
