Well Belle is sparked by something she realizes about Gold’s clash with Pan, not anything she hears from A/P. I’m not sure…I’m hesitant to ascribe big things to minor characters like Aurora and Philip, especially since I don’t see how Philip’s soul being taken by a wraith has much in common with Gold’s “exit”, but then again, who knows? I suspect whatever A/P are doing has to do with Snowing, since it was already spoiled that the Snowing baby and A /P are connected (or something like that).
Yeah I know. And yet…there’s Philora in 3×19. I thought they simply give some exposition to how they got Philip’s soul back in 3×12–because obviously we’d never see it–and that’d be that.
With regards to “Gold’s clash with Pan,” I think the thing she might realize (and this is going to be obvious) there was no body. She didn’t even say, “he’s dead.” She said, “he’s gone.” Belle was emotionally devastated at the time, but SMART GIRL IS SMART. I think she’s going to realize fairly quickly that there is hope because there is no body.
With the Philora/Snowing baby….I have *no* idea what that spoiler means. I thought it would just be Aurora and Snow talking about their pregnancies and fears.
