I want to claim Belle’s purple FTL dress and cloak. And the boots. The whole outfit. *dies of the pretty*

For me, the timing with Walsh looks like serious foreshadowing. He’s been with Emma 8 months. Guess who looks 8 months pregnant?
*shifty eyes*
I’m thinking timeline fun will follow here…

Yay for Belle hugs! Neal and Belle teamup for the win!

Favorites:
Belle’s dress. OMG.
Belle & Neal having hope. And Robin thanking Belle.
The return of Hope.
Hook being a hot pirate in FTL (something about his declarations about finding his ship again was extra hot…)
Hook and Henry facing off about their wardrobes.Least fave:
Snow not mentioning Cora when Regina ripped out her own heart…somehow that felt like a hole that should’ve been there, even if it wasn’t necessary.Side notes:
Don’t get engaged to Neal or Emma if you’re a baddy. It doesn’t go well.

The Beauty and the Beast Enchanted Christmas midquel is pretty good though.

What scares me is the “no loopholes” line.
But…
I’m wondering if the wraith arc may intersect here. The Shadow was something like a wraith, and became part of Pan. We still haven’t seen HOW Phillip was saved from being wraithed. And while Rumple wasn’t wraithed exactly, it could parallel Belle & Bae finding a way to bring Rumple back.

…part of me is hoping that a Neal kiss would bring back all her memories. And she never stopped loving Neal, and Neal is Henry’s father, so…it could work.
Sorry CSers.
But David and Snow will hug her and it’ll be a bit awkward and then she’ll remember and then she’ll be angry at Neal again and regardless Henry will be all “THIS IS SO COOL!”

I ship the heck out of Rumple & David. I’m also broshipping David & Hook, though. Belle & Ariel was awesome, as was Belle & Mulan and Belle & Leroy (I need more of this). I really want to see Belle & Neal get to have a relationship (but not romantic cuz no and Rumple’s coming back). Regina and Tink as a broship works for me. I still like Henrybon. And Flook.

It doesn’t feel wonky to me, though, at least not after reflection. Belle does not find out that it’s Bae he lost in this scene, only that he lost someone male.
The shawl is definitely Baelfire’s, though. We saw Milah sew it and that’s why Hook couldn’t destroy it (though how Hook knew that beats me–maybe he recognized her stitching?). Silly sentimental pirate.
But if this falls between the curtains scene and the rest of Skin Deep (most of which IS a single day, save for Regina’s taunt at the end), then it works. I’d put it post Robin Hood hunting, when things have thawed a bit between them but long before they’re close to realizing they’re in love. Belle’s comfortable enough to interrupt him to bring the flowers (maybe they were delivered or maybe there’s a garden within the castle…and again, I pin Bae’s birthday at March 23, early spring, so daffodils and other early flowers would be up), but he’s still gruff with her–this time less an act, but more because he isn’t at all ready to let someone in on his most intimate emotions.
Note how he yells at her in 211 when the shawl is lost. And that’s after losing her four times and admitting he loves her (1. sending her away from the castle 2. Regina kidnaps her and says she’s dead 3. She leaves to think and gets kidnapped by Smee/Moe 4. She tells him off for not being honest with her). Rumple still explodes at her then, and over the same item. His reaction in 222 isn’t far off, even though by then he’s much more tender with Belle.
I find Rumple’s reaction and Belle’s attitude toward him entirely consistent with the development of their relationship at that point. The shawl itself isn’t particularly identifiable as boy’s clothing, so her question about that in Skin Deep isn’t negated either. I think it adds a beautiful layer to Rumple’s need to bring Belle back when she tries to use the shawl as a rag, because while, yes, she knows it’s important to him–here she’s seeing just how important it is. And it adds to how important Bae is to him, how fueled he is by love.
My initial reaction was confusion about how it fit, but the more I think about it, the less contradictory it feels to me.
