Jefferson was not instructed to free Belle, he did it as revenge against Regina for screwing him twice.
He wanted to make sure Rumple knew that Regina held her prisoner all this time. Like the BF said to Regina “you better run and hide.” 😀
[adrotate group="5"]That is a great quote Crimson Angel. And the look on Emma’s face when the Blue Fairy says that to Regina is great.

How could Jefferson know the “exit” lead down to a secret underground facility? And how could he know the code to open the door? And how could he know to bring Tea filled with something (poison?) that took out the watch nurse? And how could he know which door Belle was in?
incidentally, it was kinda funny to see Sydney Glass locked in one of those rooms.
Malchore, I think you’re brilliant! That never occurred to me, but it makes total sense and sounds like something they would do on OUaT to mess with us. Regina said that she wouldn’t reunite Jefferson with his daughter until her entire plan was carried out. Once everything got all screwed up I can see her telling him that the game has changed and now he needs to do something new, but they want us to think that Jefferson is fed up with Regina and is now working against her. That would be the perfect way for her to use the Belle card against Rumple – and he wouldn’t even know that she was doing it.
Jefferson specifically told Belle to tell Rumple that she was told he would protect her. Regina was the only one who would know how it would it kill Rumple to hear Belle say those words to him. After he asked Regina “So she needs a home?” when she lied to him about what happened to Belle after he kicked her out of his castle she knew how upset he was that he couldn’t protect her. So Regina knows that having Belle around to protect is going to end up weakening Rumple one way or another, whether it’s emotionally by making him choose her over his power or mentally by having Belle disapprove of his desire for power.
You’re right, it doesn’t make any sense for Jefferson to know where Belle was or how to get to her. The only problem in her plan could be that she might have thought that Rumple would have brought back magic as a result of finding out that she had Belle locked up, thinking that he would become so enraged that he would lose it. She might not have figured out that was his plan all along and that he was actually very calm and calculated about the whole thing. So she may be taken by surprise when he does get around to getting his revenge. So it could actually be to his advantage that he is so obsessed with needing to get magic back right now to find Bae. He doesn’t have time to do anything rash. But finding Belle, whenever that happened, was going to end up distracting him and causing problems because until he finds Bae and is ready to be redeemed he won’t be ready to give up his obsession with power.
I don’t think Regina instructed Jefferson to release Belle. Jefferson is acting against Regina now. I don’t think it’s just a rouse that the writers are trying to pull. There is real and existing animosity between Regina and Jefferson for the time she left him stranded in Wonderland and for the time she refused to reunite him with Grace.
I think it’s likely that he knew about Belle from something that happened which the audience hasn’t seen yet. Jefferson is insane (aka the Mad Hatter). Perhaps Jefferson came back from Wonderland and was held captive in the same jail as Belle in FTL. The other more likely scenerio is that Jefferson was kept in the hospital basement when he first came to SB before Regina put him under house arrest for 28 years. That would explain how Jefferson knows about Belle.

Jefferson was watching his daughter and Emma, he could have been watching Regina from the beginning since he had all of his memories in tact since their arrival to Storybrook.. and figuring out some of the secrets she kept.. like Belle!

I kind of think this is what happened also.

I think he has had 28 years to watch Regina. In all that time he may have been able to figure it all out. 🙂

Third – Where did Jefferson learn the where-a-bouts of Belle? I presume he must’ve learned all that information from Regina, but it seems odd that she would instruct Jefferson to tell Belle to inform Rumple that Regina had her locked away. I know it’ll have the effect of enraging Mr. Gold, and that’s probably intentional. But it seemed unusually brilliant of Regina. She must’ve known Mr. Gold was up to something that would restore magic to Storybrooke. HOW she knew is beyond me.
I don’t think Regina told him to do that, I think it was about Jefferson getting back at Regina for welching on her promise. Remember a couple episodes back when Regina was trying to make a deal with Mr. Gold and he made the comment that she had nothing he wanted? I’m sure she kept Belle a secret in hopes of using her as leverage at a more dire time.
However, Jefferson seems to have a lot of knowledge about what’s going on, which leads me to believe he wasn’t brought to Storybrooke along with everyone else, but that Regina got him there separately somehow. How does he even know about Belle & Rumple’s relationship? Perhaps it was Regina who told him to let Belle go, like you said, but I’m not sold on the idea.
I think we need to remember what Jefferson said his “curse” was. His curse was having “knowledge”…maybe this means having all knowledge but not having the ability to act on it…or rather not being brave enough to act on it. Regina said she knew Jefferson was not “capable” of harming her himself even though she double crossed him twice…
Conclusion: Maybe Jefferson knows everyone’s story in SB. He knew about Emma being the saviour and being the child of SW/PC. He just knows things. Hey – maybe he’s the one who wrote Henry’s storybook?
Or maybe the writers are just toying with us…and haven’t shown us the complete backstory…(like they did with the Kathryn drama).
