Ok, I am listening to the “Storybrooke” part of Friday’s podcast.
Belle called in, and I am surprised no one picked up on this.
The conversation was around did Gold/Rumple know about the curse about to be broken, etc. etc.
Well, I don’t think that it mattered to him when the curse was broken, just that it was on course for it to be.
He was working only for himself at that point.
He had the love potion, and was going to get magic, or “his power”, back. Makes little to no difference if the curse was broken yet or not.
The editing of the story telling makes it seem like it fits, but I don’t think it matters.
Think of the posibilities if he had unleashed the purple smoke monster on the unenlightened? Awesome.
Oh, and to those saying “but purple is a good color” —
Malificent = Purple/black/green.
Not to mention
the Riddler
the Joker
Lex Luthor
Green Goblin
The Lizard
the Hulk (a “hero” but deals with anger)

Time-wise, the thing that mattered most to Rumpel was that he needed Emma to believe first so that she could defeat the dragon and retrieve the bottle of true love potion for him. He foresaw that one of the consequences of Emma believing and kissing Henry would be the curse lifting (at least partially) and people remembering who they are. He knew this would happen, because he told Regina in 1×21 that she’d better make travel plans, because when people woke up, they’d want revenge. He was making travel plans of his own to leave SB–presumably to search for his son. So, I think the timing mattered to him a great deal, since he was in a hurry to get his power back. He had to make sure he was “armed and ready” when the rest of the town’s people woke up. I agree that purple can be a very ominous color, and this new form of magic isn’t necessarily a good thing for the people of SB. The one thing Rumpel didn’t foresee was that Belle is still living, and I think he was wonderfully relieved to find out she still loved him. I wonder if magic will come between them again or if Belle can learn to love him as he is. Perhaps he’ll make a deal to give up the magic once he finds Baelfire.

I don’t think that Rumpel knew that Emma would kiss Henry and that it would return everyone’s memories and i don’t think he cared about that at all. I see no reason that he would care about any of those things because it is not helpful to him. He did need Emma to believe so that she would help him and i think he reasoned that that would eventually lead to other people regaining their memories, but i see no evidence that he cared about Henry being saved or the timing of people regaining their memories. And i don’t think it makes sense that he would care based on what we know about the character so far.
