What bothers me about the Mad Hatter is that I wonder how long he’s known that Regina has her underground lair insane asylum. He freed Belle, which is fantastic, but he only did it after Regina refused to honor her deal and pushed his buttons. Declaring that he didn’t have it in him to kill her was like waving a red flag in front of a bull. Yeah, he doesn’t have it in him to kill her, but he knew that if Gold ever found out she was hiding and imprisoning his live, he would have no compucture against destroying her. So how long has Jefferson known about this underground prison? If Regina had honored her deal, he would have never released Belle. Just let her lay in her prison.
So now I’m really on the fence about him. They better do some explaining for me to forgive him, even though he’s been through hell himself.
