I want to see Bae’s disappearance as a huge wake up call for Rumple. I’m hoping that he doesn’t react in hotheaded anger but that he starts to open up to the others and fight against the darkness that Lacey is pulling him back towards. I’m worried it might have the opposite effect though- that he will feel as if he has nothing left to live for and therefore no point in bettering himself. But I want to see him fight to get the real Belle back.
I want them all to have a little more faith that Bae survived.
Mostly, I want the season to end on a note similar to last year in which we have a satisfying conclusion with everything being set up for a new series of adventures next year.
I have a feeling we will not have all our characters in the same place by the end though.
