Re: Lumiere: could be because Adam said it was as surprisingly big spoiler, lol.
*very undefined headcanon incoming*
Belle remembers something Rumple said while frozen that makes more sense to her than anyone else (I like that more than hearing something off screen) and goes off on her own. Maybe she goes back to the DC to find a book in her library? And she meets Lumiere there who has knowledge/information she’s looking for (there’s a cheesy metaphor here about light/illumination/information). Knowledge in hand, Belle goes back to the group to inform them that Rumple’s alive but then the Witch casts her curse and they all get teleported back to SB, without memories.
