Yes, if Lacey’s intentions aren’t honorable as BAMF pointed out (and you could be 100% correct because she knows it’s what he wants and he did just tell her that he could keep her young forever) then TLK won’t work because it’s not true for Lacey (and honestly, I don’t think it’s true for Gold either. I don’t think he’s in love with Lacey, I think he is enjoying what being with her means, i.e: power). Which means we gotta resort to some other way of getting Belle back.
Slurpeez and a few others think it could be healing Chip and having her drink from the well.
