In the last episode the Charmings tell Mr. Gold that everyone in Story-Brooke will die so he goes into his shop and just lets it happen. not even caring that Belle would die too. then, he goes into the Jolly Roger but leaves Belle in town, not only to protect her from the dangers he will face (according to the writers), but to cloak and protect the whole town.
what sense does this make?
a mere few minutes ago he was willing to let that whole town and Belle die, and now he goes and cloaks it?
what do you make of that?[adrotate group="5"]He is complex, and in that moment he was depressed. Beyond depressed, really, I took it as a man who has lost his will to care about anything in that moment. He realizes how far he has lost himself to his darkness as he was about to kill his own grandson, and now Bae is dead. He just sort of says I deserve to die–but he is still dark and selfish in that he does not care about others. He then realizes he needs Belle, to give him hope for he has lost all of his. He wakes her, and before they really have a chance to rally on their own they realize the town is not blowing up. Rumpel has hope again. He then sacrifices being with Belle more for her sake, to keep her safe than for the good of the town. If he knows she is alright in SB he thinks he will better be able to do what he needs to do.

what do you make of that?You’re forgetting that Rumple had just been told his beloved son, who he spent centuries trying to find, was dead. Rumple was in a state of shock and wasn’t thinking straight. Also, Rumple considered the town being destroyed the price he had to pay for bringing magic to it in the first place and that it couldn’t be stopped. Belle wasn’t Belle but Lacey and Rumple didn’t want to wake Belle up to die but he needed her. After the town was saved and with Belle back to herself, Rumple seemed to be able to think a bit more clearly.
It was the initial shock of being told Bae was dead that caused Rumple to act like he did. Basically his whole world had just been pulled out from under his feet.
All magic comes with a price!
