Rewatching The Stable Boy, made me think about the true love idea. Daniel tells Regina that true love is more powerful than anything (I guess anything except death, since her kiss can't bring him back to life after Cora rips out his heart and crushes it into dust). I wonder what Regina thinks about true love after that and recall her telling Snow White, "what Daniel and I had wasn't real." I don't think Regina really believed it wasn't real; otherwise, she wouldn't still be wearing his ring and seeking vengence. I think one of the most poignant moments in the entire season was Cora telling Regina, "this is your happy ending," after she killed Daniel and Regina's utter shock and disbelief at what her mother said. Reginas reply: "What?!" (So, it makes sense that Regina wants to destroy Snow's happy ending...)

David was in a coma in Storybrooke, and Mary Margaret sort of had a thing for him -- reading to him and all that while he was in the hospital where she volunteered. He wakes after Emma decides to stay and time starts again. As soon as he wakes, David and Mary Margaret have an immediate connection. Ok. So, if true love is more powerful than any spell, and they have true love - even if they forgot their history - shouldn't their true love break the spell of the curse?

If true love is more powerful than any magic, and Belle shares true love with Rumplestiltskin, what's up with their relationship?

Just made me question how true love really factors into everything.
