The way she reacted to milah was different than I think we all expected…she was able to let it go quite easy. Idk about you, but that surprised me. Rumpel is lucky she is so understanding.
This was one little thing that just didn’t sit quite right with me. Absolutely LOVED everything else about that scene, Belle and Hook were both brilliant in it, the tension was perfection. But when you’re told that your boyfriend ripped out his wife’s heart and killed her…that should give you pause…for more than two seconds. I love that she can believe in the good in Rumple, he needs that if he’s got any hope of becoming a better person, but that was a major revelation, and I think they should have addressed her thought process over it a bit more. Even if, in the later scene in the car, when Rumple was all, “after everything I’ve done,” if they’d had him add, “even killing my wife,” so they could have allowed another moment to show her considering it, instead of just glossing over it as though it was a deed no worse than anything else he’s done.
Other than that, I really enjoyed what they did with Belle’s story, and I like that it showed a different type of heroism by having her use knowledge and compassion, instead of kicking butt with a sword, to be victorious.
