I don’t think Belle’s personality would shift *that* dramatically after she remembers. She is definitely still dressed as Lacey in this scene. I just don’t see Belle choosing to dress that way after she remembers. Also, the scene describes Gold beating on Whale while Belle just stands there and watches- no way a Belle who remembers would not step in. The finale is really a two parter. I can see them making Belle’s memories part of it. I will be very surprised if she is only Lacey for one episode.
But we don’t know how or even if her personality shifted. She could be Belle but taking greater fashion risks because she’s young and sexy and has a boyfriend who thinks shes beautiful, ect. If the spoiler is correct that the beast rubs off on the beauty instead of the other way around this time, then Belle would choose that dress. It totally suits a new combined Lacey/Belle. And her hair is very Belle. Lacey’s hair is always up and Belle’s is down. If Whale was hitting on Belle, she might let Rumple defend her and do what he does because again she is now both. Lacey is tougher and maybe more okay with passionate outbursts.
Ehhh…maybe, but I just don’t see it. Belle allowing Gold to beat someone? To put his foot in Whale’s face and say “Kiss My boot!”? That would be so out of character for her. When I first saw those set pictures, I thought it was really obvious that she was still Lacey at that point based on what she was wearing and the scene description. They did say at Paleyfest that Lacey is the complete opposite of Belle.
Actually, Belle’s hair *is* up in that scene…it isn’t until later when she has the blue coat on that it is down. I sense a transition happening there somewhere, and I don’t think she will be getting the short shaft if that happens in the finale. She had great moments in last season’s finale, and there were tons of things happening then too.
