    Rationalize with law or magic any way you want, it comes down to this: how do the respective parties view each other. Robin has called Marian his wife MANY TIMES and even said that he swore a (marriage) vow. He should have manned up and told Marian it was over and that he had moved on. Regina has Marian Robin’s wife MANY TIMES and had to hear about how his vows meant something to him, until they didn’t. Cheating is cheating. And this the romantizication of cheating. It’s cheap, it’s cliche, and it’s what every show under God’s blue sky does.

    I agree.

    I believe they will, but I really want to see Rumple have to work to win her back. That’s the story I want from them. And I’m hoping we’ll get to see Belle having to deal with her own emotions some more, too…she can’t just trust Rumple to save or validate her. He may have given her the first chance to be a hero, but she’s also got to believe she can do it on her own.

    I agree.

    I think part of the problem is Robin’s reaction aren’t how a normal person would react to finding out their girlfriend murdered their wife originally. He should’ve been horrified at finding out Regina murdered Marian and at least struggled with reconciling the fact that the Regina he knew now was the evil Queen at some point. Not be all ” Who cares? I love you Regina”.

    I agree, I wish this had been addressed more in the story.  But that’s probably being saved for 4B. 4A is Emma’s arc, I think Regina’s will be 4B.

    there’s little reason he couldn’t fall back in love with Marian if he loved her once.

    This sounds really beautiful in theory but sometimes, that isn’t always possible.

    The way Emma is written makes sense to me, so I don’t really have a problem with her. JMo once described Emma as an overgrown teenager that never really learned how to deal with things properly. She’s emotionally stunted, I think is what JMo said. So it makes sense that does things in baby steps because it’s what she can handle for the moment.

    I think Belle needs time and space away from Belle in order to figure out what to do next. Not divorce, I’m not advocating that but she needs to be away from Rumple. For a bit. I know Rumbelle separations never last long on this show but she needs to be away from him, for a realistic amount of time, in order to decide if she still wants to be with him or not.

    Personally, I don’t think Rumple is worthy of Belle’s attention this season. And she can do better than him. Not sure who, but I’m sure there’s someone out there.

    I also have to ask, since Outlaw Queen is an unusual situation, what is the statute of how long are you married after your spouse dies?

    When is an appropriate time to move on? Angie made a valid point on twitter. Yes, Robin is still married to Marian but for him, she had been dead and gone for a long while and he had moved on.

    Okay, let me pose a question: what would be a healthy reaction for Belle when the truth comes out?

    Personally, I want Belle to leave him. I would roll my eyes so hard if she forgave him on the spot and moved on. Rumple used her as an alibi for murder and continually lied to her face about the dagger. Those two, are unforgivable acts to me.

    I have no doubt the hat will likely be used on Ingrid. Seems like the only safe way. I thought about trapping her in the urn and then Elsa freezing it and then I remembered, Elsa smashed the urn once she was free.

    Adam and Eddy have certainly written themselves in a corner when it comes to OQ and they had a beautiful start in 3B.

    I would have preferred to see their relationship develop a little differently this season. I think Regina’s come a long way as a character (but the gist of why this love triangle) is being explored now is to test, the kind of person Regina is becoming now.

    But when you boil it down, it’s really a no-win situation for everyone. Robin is meant to be with Regina, he chooses Marian, he looks like a jerk for abandoning the woman he’s meant to be with. Plus, he’s not setting a good example for his son too. If he chose Regina over his wife from the beginning, he still looks like a jerk. It’s a horrible tug of war. Either way, Robin comes off as looking like a horrible person.

    I have to give Regina some credit though. She hasn’t been actively pursuing Robin since Marian returned. She’s stepped back and given Robin the space he needs.

    I do wonder what will ultimately happen to Marian? If she just going to be a frozen popsicle for the rest of the season, or will get thawed out eventually? I suppose when Ingrid is finally defeated, Marian will thaw out. But what happens when she is thawed out and realizes that her husband does not love her anymore and wants to be with Regina?

    I don’t hate Marian. We haven’t seen enough of her for me to hate her but I do wonder what are Adam and Eddy’s plans for her in the long run.
