TLK only works if: a) you were in love before you lost your memories b) that person can make you fall in love again c) you were *both* in love at the same time
that’s a good point.
Belle loved Rumple before, it was inside Lacey just buried under the curse.
Dark Heart Snow loved Charming, but buried under the potion
But if there was no curse to break, then did the whole thing with Neal/August happen? I don’t understand at all.
It did happen. The only thing that changed was Emma taking Henry. So August still came to Neal and told him about the curse. And the curse “happens” but it’s now like an AU
