What i think happened was that Regina took Belle in fairytale land before she intended to use the dark curse and then she did the dark curse and Belle was transferred still in captivity to Storybrooke. And then Regina found out that Rumpel had his memories so then she went to look in on Belle.
[adrotate group="5"]True, Belle I believe was a pawn to be used later by Regina. Regina did not count on Gold being able to remember anything. That is perhaps why she was shocked after Gold used to “please” clause of their agreement, because of not only does he remember but my pawn and advantage could be rendered useless with please.
So I have to admit I it was an interesting thing to hear Gold say to Regina, ” You no longer have anything I want, dearie” and I thought, oh but she does, you just son’t know it yet… Belle
This has been bothering since I saw this weeks episode, and a few others actually. It was great episode of course, but I wonder why Regina didn’t use Belle right then and there when Mr. Gold refused to help her. The popular belief among fans is that Regina is holding Belle hostage to use her as some sort of bargaining chip, and yet when the perfect opportunity arrives, she doesn’t use her. A friend of mine thinks she is waiting for the opportune moment. If so, why take so long? She seemed pretty desperate in the episode.
Personally, I never really thought much on the idea of Belle being a bargaining tool. If she is, Regina could have used her a long time ago. All this time, she’s just kept her locked away instead of using her.Well, with Regina’s new status regarding what she is capable of and what happened with Henry, she can certainly use Belle to get Gold to do what she wants. Since Gold wants Emma around, Regina will want to keep from paying the price of magic.
Expect the unexpected, Accept the unaccepted.

Had Gold not been able to remember it would be a whole new game.
Now that her plan to poison Emma has failed and Henry is the one suffering the consequences, Regina will probably deal her trump card Belle to get Gold’s help.

Maybe. But Regina had the chipped cup, and Mr. Gold didn’t use the please at all. He even gave Regina his name. He could’ve just said, “Please give me the cup back without breaking it.” There could be some sort of limitations on the condition, though I guess that is for a different board.
It could be that Regina is indeed saving Belle for when she needs her. But Regina looked pretty desperate last episode with Mr. Gold, desperate enough that I thought she would use Belle.
