They kind of stated that they won’t break the group up, I just thought would have been fun to have the good guys vs the bad guys. I bet Rumple will have to go back to his old self because SB was a curse and he isn’t cursed any longer so back to his old self he goes.
The kiss didn’t work on Rumple this time because he still doesn’t want to give up his power he thought he would need it to find Bae..
I don’t think he has the ability to prevent the curse from ending when kissed. When it happened in the castle, he had to pull away from her. If they continued kissing, he would have continued to change. I think it’s either an oversight of the writers or it has something to do with magic being different in our world- although that is not well explained. (Not to mention, they kiss after he already believes Bae to be dead.)
I will be surprised if Gold becomes his Rumple self again…Snow didn’t sudden get long hair while in Enchanted Forest. I think logistically, it wouldn’t be very practical. But we shall see. Personally, I like the contrast between Gold and EF Rumple and would rather we didn’t lose Gold all together. It might be overkill if he was in crazy imp mode for the entire show instead of just in flashbacks.
I think the easiest explanation for why Belle can’t break Rumple’s curse in SB is that he’s the Dark One and he needs to be in a realm where magic is working at full capacity, like FTL. Magic is different in SB, we know that. So it’s going to take something more than TLK in a foreign land to break his curse. It has nothing to do with Rumple not wanting to give up his power. He didn’t want to give up his power in Skin Deep, but the curse started to lift during their first kiss.
I would be very surprised if Rumple became green/gold again. It’s a lot to ask of RC, honestly.
