The Snowing drama was more forgiveable–they were cursed, and Regina did her best to make sure they would stay apart. That was pretty much one of the reasons why I never really minded it. 🙂 And I admire them for how hard they both work on their relationship.
With Rumbelle, it seems to be Rumpelstitltskin that is the problem–sorry if this offends people that like him a lot. I really like him, too. I’m just sick of him doing the same mistakes over and over again, and getting all teary-eyed when Belle gets angry and depressed over it.
With the test subject, I don’t quite seeing Rumpelstiltskin using Belle’s father–even he surely can’t be that insensitive as to use her own father. I think he’ll use Smee or Captain Hook–I go more for Captain Hook since next episode, Dr. Whale is treating an injury of his.
I think it could be that Belle will learn about Milah. That would certainly make her question her relationship.
To be honest, I’m more interested in the new stranger and Victor’s story for this episode.
