We know both Rumple and EQ have lost loves in FTL. Neither one of them has a happy ever after in FTL.
I agree. Which is why I think at some point Regina is going to trot out Belle from the basement and let Gold see her. Then tell him that if he wants any kind of “happily ever after” he better play by her rules and stop helping Emma/MM.
