what they could have is a scenario like this:
hook gets to storybrooke, identifies belle as a love interest for rumpel and kidnaps her. belle, being a smart girl, quickly realizes her kidnapping is revenge against rumpel and tries to get hook to open up to her. and belle being belle, says very wisely that revenge won’t bring back his love (which is true) and he needs to forgive rumpel.
