Theory: Rumple gave Belle a fake dagger to protect both of them, not as an alibi (though he HAS used it as one already).
He was insistent that she keep the fake. Why?
Because a, if it’s known that she has the dagger (by those who he knows know about the dagger), then anyone trying to get the dagger would expect to go through her first. That gives him time to make sure the real one is safe–and therefore HE is safe from being controlled again, which means SHE is safe(r) because he can protect her. b, if it’s known that she has the dagger, people are less likely to try to hurt her–she, in theory, can summon the Dark One to protect herself, so she’s got a scary weapon–even if it’s unloaded. Nobody else knows that, not even her.
This is still totally going to bite him in the end next season. But perhaps his motivations aren’t ALL terrible.

I had a similar theory last night. We talked briefly in chat about it and I posted it in the Rumbelle Wedding thread. Here was my post…
Okay, I had a thought. Rumple was so adamant that Belle keep the dagger. If he took it back he could have essentially kept the secret forever, probably, but he was insistent that she keep it. Yes, it gives him an alibi for future misdeeds, but is there another reason? Could the fake dagger have an enchantment or protection spell on it that protects Belle and that was a reason he was so adamant she keep it
That little detail is just nagging me. Yes, he’s still the Dark One and regressing, but could there also be another reason for not taking her up on her offer? When someone hands you a “get out of jail free card” you don’t say, “Oh, no thank you. I’d rather do my time.” You take that card and cash it in.
Just trying to look at it from another angle.
Like I said, I think something else might be up with the fake dagger.

I like that idea, however, he could have at least told Belle the truth, if this was the case and I hope we’ll find out when he played his little trick to switch the dagger with a fake one. Who knows what his real intention was, but as of now, we know two things for sure: 1, he truly loves her and 2, he’s nonetheless a sneaky little b****** who just can’t stop lying and manipulating, if it helps him accomplish his goals. Solving their first marital argument (and there most certainly will be a big one) will probably make a nice little angsty story for Rumbelle in S4.
In honor of the wedding I have made a video and I hope you guys watch and tell me what you think it is my first time making one, so I hope you like watching and please be honest on feedback. (I am thinking of making another will a Train song in it maybe)
For those who are interested, Spinning Tales on livejournal published their over all “screen time” recap for rumbelle for season 3.
