When Rumpel and Belle see each other again, they’re probably not going to rush straight into each others arms. They’ve got a lot of issues to work through.
Rumpel’s already lost Baelfire and might never see him again, so I’m hoping they’re not going to kill off Belle. Belle still being around is Rumpel’s second chance and I have a feeling that Rumpel’s overall story arc is going to be one of redemption and possibly sacrifice. Belle and Baelfire are important to Rumpel, they are the only ones who can redeem him and they are the only ones I can see Rumpel sacrificing himself for. Baelfire could already be dead which would nail down the tragic aspect of Rumpel but if they killed Belle off as well then what reason would Rumpel have to change his evil ways?
I don’t reckon they will kill off Rumpel because he is one of the series’ strongest and most popular characters but if they did, I wouldn’t expect it to be until several seasons down the line.
I don’t think Bae is dead but I am with you on other points you made. I don’t think they will rush into their happy ending in season II either. Keep in mind who is writing the stories. They are gonna torture us for sure. But I do believe Belle will play a major role in Rumple’s turn.
I also agree Mr. Gold won’t be dead or the show will be so over. But still can’t tell if he could have a happy ending at the end. So have to keep our fingers crossed.
