As far as Moe and Belle, I recognize that it’s a TV show so they don’t have an unlimited amount of time to use on each and every character and plot line, however I did find it bizarre that Moe said he was all concerned about finding his daughter but when he does find her he spends no time at all rejoicing over finding her or talking to her, all he wants to do is make sure she stays away from Rumple. And when he can’t control her the way he wants to his solution is to have her loose all of her memories – even her memories of him??? Doesn’t really seem like he was actually wanting to find his daughter with the intent of being reunited so he could have a relationship with her. Sounds more like he wanted to find her because he had already figured out that she had fallen in love with Rumple and wanted to get revenge by taking her away from him.
As Moe sees it, Belle is choosing to be a gangster’s girl. Moe will always hate the gangster for this, and a part of Moe wants to hate Belle (even though he loves her) for her decision, so that taints his attempts to help her out of that lifestyle.
