(Haha, thanks. I um.. have a lot of feelings- especially about relationships like this one.)
If we have a lot of time to explore Belle’s feelings, yes- think she will be upset and confused. She’s also going to have to reconcile how she feels about the way Rumple acted while she was Lacey. Is the gratified that he stuck by her? Is she angry that he gave in to his darkness? Both? (Probably both, delicious, delicious conflict.) The other thing is that when Belle remembers herself, she’s not going to be 100% Belle again, given what we know of the Storybrooke residents. She’ll be both. She’s only been Lacey for a short time, but she said in The Rabbit Hole that she “remembers who she is and that’s Lacey” so I think she got an entire lifetime of memories back, and she’s been adding a few days to that since she adopted the persona. How is *that* going to alter Belle, and their relationship?
