– it’s death or true loves kiss (both breaks of the curse are pretty epic).
I’m still puzzling about why Rumpel’s curse is not broken. Back in Skin Deep, he started to kiss Belle and the curse started to fade. He kicked her out. They had a reunion, and it was sort of unclear how they both felt, with various things happening–memory loss etc., the shift to SB and such things. Then at the dock, they have a pretty clear macking session, where they both love each other but nothing seemed to change for Gold. So has their love not reached that “true” deep state yet, or is it that TLK actually is not strong enough for THIS curse?
The other puzzling thing is, once Cora no longer held the dagger (when they were fighting over it in Gold’s shop), why didn’t the Dark One magic just heal the poison? Yes, the poison was applied before in the “so low it seems like no magic” zone, but shouldn’t Rumpel’s healing abilities have counteracted it once back in SB? Or did he have to physically hold his dagger once again in his hands to tap that power? Something of course, he didn’t get to do until after Snow used the candle, and Regina stuck Cora’s heart back. When Rumpel summons the wraith, he actually does take out his dagger to do that spell. So he may need to have the dagger near him in order to use some of its power.
Perhaps all Belle’s love has done is prevent the crocodile skin thing (the physical skin deep beast part of his curse)–which of course would save tons of time for RC on makeup.
Perhaps Regina was just wrong that TLK could break the Dark One’s curse entirely. After all, Emma’s TLK on Henry did not return them all to FTL or remove SB from Maine where it smooshed whatever random forest was there already.
Lol- you sound like me wondering how on earth SB got any supplies ie- grocery items, appliances (like MM Ipod/mp4 player), cars etc. & how Henry entered SB, if no one from our world could see or find SB- let alone how MM was going to be transported out of SB to be tried for murder lol (I guess Regina was just gonna kill her).
