We know TLK works in general in SB: Henry/Emma and Snow/Charming, at least from sleeping curses. But magic is apparently so different in SB, that smoochies between Rumple and Belle don’t affect his Dark One powers. I think we’ll find out just how different magic was in SB when/if we get to NL.
Yes, I believe that theme will certainly be explore more in S3. In the recent TVGide Lightning Round, Adam and Eddy sort of hinted in that direction:
Will we discover why, with the curse broken, certain characters didn’t revert to their former-looking selves, like Mr. Gold having the scaly skin?

So, maybe the Dark One’s curse won’t be lifted by the end of S2, but perhaps, hopefully, Belle would at least get her real memories back if Mr. Gold and Lacey share TLK in SB.
