1) Rumple…not really dead. Or at least not in the forever never coming back to his loved ones dead
2) Rumple and Belle…TLK. Endgame. Done. Established
3) Neal…not going to get involved with his dad’s TL
4) Neal and Belle have a friendship that is based on the mutual love they share for Rumple. They can be friends. They can be step mom and step son. They can be siblings. However you choose to interpret. They would only “hook up” if this were HBO and not a show about fairy tales run by the Mouse.
5) Rumple. Not dead dead dead dead.
This is a perplexing conversation.
