But if Regina’s intention was never to use Belle against Rumpel, then why did she capture her in the first place? I like the theory that Belle wasn’t actually captured, but like Jefferson, being locked up would be her own personal curse. Regina went out of her way to pull Jefferson out of Wonderland and lock him in his mansion for 28 years. So, I’m not surprised that she would do the same to Belle. However, I’m not clear on why she would punish Belle. It makes no sense. What did Belle ever do to Regina?
But we don’t really know if she pulled him out of Wonderland specifically. He may have found a way back to the Enchanted Forest before the curse was enacted.
See, there is still so much we don’t know about the fairytale land stories. I was just thinking today that all I really care about now are the Storybrooke stories, but I’m rethinking that tonight. Between taking back the kingdom, Belle’s capture, Cora, and whatever happened to the Mad Hatter, we still have a lot to tell. Add in Sleeping Beauty and Mulan’s story and there really is much more to tell.
Good point. I just hope the writers don’t forget about the loose ends they created in season 1.
But unfortunately, there’s always a chance this will be the case. Show’s will large, ambitious plots tend to skip over what they consider minor details. Of course, their mistakes are all too obvious to the audience, but the writers tend to overlook it.

Why not? Rumpel delivered season 1’s major cliffhanger. It’s not that out of the box.
Because Rumpel is a plot device. And the cliffhanger is not the climax of the season. The climax of this season was all Emma. Rumpel’s plot was the cliffhanger plot device like he always does.
LOL! Sorry but this post cracked me up! 😆 I think quite a few people would disagreement with your assessment of Rumpel’s character. He’s recieved way too much character development and screentime to be considered just a plot device. I know you’d probably like to think of him that way, but that’s not the case at all.

Cool game. And at least time, we’ll all be on the same side…for the most part. 😆
