I’m not even sure anyone else even knows Belle is down there. I know Regina used a code or something to get down there but didn’t she go through a door marked “Exit”? I had the feeling only the nurse and the weird guy cleaning the floor work down there so I don’t think even the other hospital employees know about it. So it does seem like an extension of Regina’s dungeons.

The Dungeons? I didn’t even consider that as a possibility. That’s would be very interesting. However, Regina needs to be very watchful of the nurse and the janitor who know about Belle. There’s always the possibility that they could be spies or looking for a way to escape themselves.
April 6, 2012 at 3:34 am #141095midnight drearyParticipantI’m still trying to figure out what’s Rumpel’s role in all of this. He always seems to be at the center of the show’s most important storylines. He always has his hand in numerous different deals. So, how will this play into the finale? Mr. Gold is not only influencing Regina, but now Emma and Mary Margaret. And to be honest, I’d add August to that growing list as well.

Mr. Gold will definitely play a huge role in the finale, as well as breaking the curse. For one, it’s his curse, and only he knows the true way in which it can be broken. And on top of that, he’s so intimately involved in the lives of the other characters that it would be hard not to include him. Rumpel’s deals and actions have all found a way to effect not only Fairytale land, but Storybrooke as well. Personally, I think the breaking of the curse and the final destruction of Regina will all hinge upon Rumpel’s actions. Will he side with good (Emma, Mary Margaret, David), or evil (Regina), or will he side with himself and pursue selfish goals (Belle)? I have a feeling he’ll choose either Emma’s side or Belle’s side (whatever that is).

My hubbie and I were talking about that yesterday and he commented that the nurse and the janitor looked like a couple of the folks who were with EQ when she cast the circle to initially enact dark curse. (I’ll have to go back and double check that.) If that is the case, they offered bits of themselves in return for a life of luxury and power, which apparently they didn’t get. It will be interesting to see what part they have to play, if any at all.

WHOA. 😯 😯 😯 I didn’t even think of that! You may be right! Good eye!
April 7, 2012 at 1:46 am #141175charmingParticipant1. The Dark Curse can be Rumple’s nuclear option. First, look at where he was when it was enacted; he was captured, imprisoned and his magic rendered unless. He needed Regina to enacted it because he was in no position to but left a loophole so he can have an upper hand over Gina. It does not look like he’d ever let loose that curse unless he had to because his Fairy Tale life was great except he did not have Belle.
4. He needs Emma; quite simply because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. When Regina is defeated who’s to say he won’t turn on everyone else? His only goal is power, the love of his son, Belle and maybe his wife if she’ still alive.
8. Belle is Rumple’s Achille’s Heal. She is the only one that can help break the curse. Rumple seems to know all about the curse if it can be confirmed that he created it. If Rumple does find Belle and kisses him Rumple will not have any magic, Queen wins. She is holding Belle bacj probably as her nuclear option.
12. Rumple is in it for himself, his son and Belle. He has made enemies of everyone. He has altered every single Fairy Tale. I’m willing to bet after the curse is broken everyone will remember who they are and whether or not everyone returns to FTL or not, the endgame and final mission is to beat Rumple. Once he is defeated, all of the fairy tales will return to original form. He is the real enemy but everyone has yet to see that. Perhaps Henry is the only one who knows this.
17. Think of the character of Darth Vader from Episode 1 to Episode 6. He started good until he got the dagger and killed the Dark One. Vader was good until he killed Dooku and pledged his allegience to Palpatine. When Luke finally turns Vader in ep 6 he is good again. Baelfire maybe the key to his good as well as Belle. He has not seen their Storybrooke version or the later FTL versions.

I definitely agree with this part of your post. Mr. Gold’s true loyalties lie with Belle and Baelfire (if we ever see him in Storybrooke). I could never truly see him as a genuine ally of Emma’s and Mary Margaret’s. However, if Belle and Baelfire do manage to reach Mr. Gold and try to convince him to change his ways, I think he’d make a spirited effort. A lot of what Rumpel did in Fairytale land was inspired by the love of either Baelfire or Belle. So, anything is possible.
April 7, 2012 at 1:39 pm #141213hjbauParticipantI still really think that Rumpel’s loyalties are just with himself. He threw Belle out and even though he wanted her back later on after he heard what Regina said, he still threw her out. And we have no idea what he did to Bae, but i am thinking it isn’t going to be great.

He threw her out because he thought she was working with the queen. Robert Carlyle confirmed it in an interview. He honestly thought he was being tricked. And as far as Bae goes, we’ll have to wait and see. Because if August is Bae, then it’s quite obvious that Rumpel didn’t kill him.
…hopefully. 😯
