I like the theory about the bored housewife being Rumpel’s first wife. But I’ll be so angry at her if the story is true. I can’t stand the thought of Bae’s mother leaving him out of boredom. That poor kid just can’t catch a break. 😥
^Hmmm…it sounds like she won’t be as angry at Rumpel as we thought. I wonder how far the writers will take it? I doubt the writers will make her totally evil. That wouldn’t make any sense. But I can defintiely see her seething with anger over what Regina did to her.
But what’s most interesting about these two quotes is that it sounds like Belle will be in, at the very least, partial agreeance with Rumpel’s plans in season 2. Which leads me to think that maybe Rumpel’s plans aren’t actually as bad as the season finale cliffhanger lead us to think. Maybe Rumpel tells the Belle the truth about why he brought magic into the world.
Either way, their relationship is definitely going to be interesting to watch develop. I already know it’ll be the highlight of season 2 for me.

In her final scene with Rumpel in Skin Deep, she was pleading with him to understand and change his mind. She wasn’t angry at him. She was trying to talk some sense into him. I thought it was quite obvious what the writers were trying to do. I actually thought Belle’s love for Rumpel was quite clear. When we see her again in Dreamy, she’s going on and on about true love and how valuable it is. She was obviously talking about Rumpel. She was hurt and still missed Rumpel. That was made abundantly clear.
I agree. Belle was obviously still in love with Rumpel when we saw her again in “Dreamy.” And the last scene between her and Rumpel in “Skin Deep” was about her trying to get Rumpel to review his actions. She was telling him to stop being a coward and face life. She was pleading with him. She wasn’t angry. That was evident by the fondness in which she spoke of him in “Dreamy.”
And like others have said, I wasn’t surprised at all by Belle’s reaction to Mr. Gold in the finale. They’re true love, so of course she’s going to be happy to see him. True love doesn’t just fade away. So actually, her rejecting Rumpel would have been out of character and would have screwed with the continuity of the show’s mythology. True love is true love. There are various different types of true love, but it’s love nonetheless. And no one has been able to stay away from their true love. There have been characters on this show who have resorted to killing because of the loss of their true love (Regina). So, of course Belle was going to be happy to see him again.
^THIS. The writers all of a sudden changing established canon would have been a mistake. They can’t just say Belle and Rumpel are true love in one episode, and then completely destroy that idea in another episode. It would have cheapened the idea of true love and would have created a huge plot hole.

Guys, my brain just exploded with a ton of new theories. A few members made some very interesting posts in another thread about Rumpel’s role in the final battle, and I thought I’d bring them over here for you guys to debate over. 😀

^THIS. I’ve been wondering about the strength of the borders between the worlds for quite some time now. A curse as powerful as the Dark Curse would have seriously damaged the lines between our reality and the next. I hope we get more insight into that next season. That might be the “final battle” that Rumpel was talking about. Why would Rumpel want to fight an Apocalyspe immediately after he finds his son? He made the curse so that he could find his son, so why would he attach an Apocalypse onto it? It makes no sense. But I could easily see the bleeding of worlds into one another as the big “final battle” that he referring to. That definitely sounds definitely sounds like an Apocalypse.

Thank God I wasn’t the only thinking this. You’re absolutely right. The main objective of the curse is to find Baelfire. That’s the real reason why the curse was created and put into place. So, if Rumpel’s main objective is to find his son, then why would then turn around and create a magical World War III? Rumpel wants to be reunited with his son so that he can have his “happy ending,” and a big finale battle between good and evil doesn’t sound practical to me.
I think Midnight Dreary and Lil’Red are definitely onto something. In the end, the fight won’t between Rumpel, Regina and The Charmings, it will be between all the different worlds and dimentions. I think that’s the real reason why the writers introduced the concept of different worlds in “Hat Trick.” It was setting us up for what’s come in the future.

Great theories everyone! I’d also like to add that the real reason why Rumpel brought magic into the world is because he knows that the lines between each reality are fading and that impending war is certain. So, in an effort to defend this reality, he brought magic into the world so that Storybrooke would have a line of defense against all the different worlds. Because when you really think about it, why would Rumpel want more power? We saw in “The Return” that he was ready to give up his powers and lust for magic. He gave August the dagger to show him just how sincere his intentions were. So, why would he all of a sudden do a complete 180 and decide to go after more power? It dosn’t make any sense. And I also don’t think that Rumpel needs magic to find his son. Unless Baelfire is trapped in some mystical tomb burried miles under the Earth, than magic is not needed for this task.
So, with those theories discredited, what’s left? I think Lil’Red and Midnight Dreary are correct in their assessment that the worlds are probably slowly dissolving and seeping into one another. And if that’s the case, then magic is going to be needed in order to defend Storybrooke. The complete dissolution of all worlds and dimensions is definitely Apocalyptic.
I also believe that the 20 doors inside of Jefferson’s hat will be the main players in the final battle. Those will be the worlds who’ll “take the battlefield”
Please God. Please let this theory come true!!!
I’m not sure if the writers will ever make Belle evil, but like A Chipped Cup stated, due to her romantic association with Rumpel, she may find herself on the wrong side of this fight. But I do like the idea OUAT mirroring the events of the Disney movie. Belle being the only one there to defend Rumpel. It would also mirror Belle being put in the crazy house in the disney film too. Of course, OUAT’s Belle was placed in a mental institutionfor an entirely different reason. 😆
But after listening to the podcast, I wouldn’t mind seeing a darker Belle. I like the idea of Belle being OUAT’s dark princess. 😈
