While I like Belle as a character, she is just a doormat, and it seems that, at least at some level, she is aware of that herself, and just chooses to ignore it.

And I honestly have to say I love to hate Rumple. Though I thought the ending was touching. Him basically going into Ingrid and telling her that, should anything happen to Belle, you're going to have Me (in full PO'd mode) to deal with, and I let me just show you what you have to look forward to.

We already know his love for power, but every once in a while, it is nice to see his love for Belle show up.

One Question though. Did Belle have the Real Dagger (since she was able to cut Rumple), or did Rumple put on a very convincing performance for Belle, complete with following orders and faking the cut? For me, I thought the episode was quite an improvement. It showed how Rumple was feeling more worse than he ever was, lying to Belle. I mean, the Troll Mirror really did do a toll on her. It was almost like I saw, "Lacey" in that mirror. I have a feeling, Lacey will come out & play against Rumple, as he'll revert to Gold. Remember, Heroes & Villains, their EF counterparts opposite their SB counterparts. It's funny, though. I heard many thing about this episode, but I won't say it now. I don't wanna jinx it.. but sooner or later, Belle will find out about the dagger switch probably around the time, when everyone isturned against eachother, Belle reverts back to been Lacey for an episode or two as Rumple reverts back to been Gold, at the last minute. When she finally realises, Rumple switched the daggers. I mean, rumors wear Belle is wearing a certain 'common' coat around SB kinda makes me think, Lacey might be still in play after 4A leading into $B. I'd love if Lacey takes over Belle's personality, it's like a switch as Rumple is lying to her, well, I thin, it should happen to Rumple. Gold been Rumple in 4A, well I think Lacey should take over Belle $b, but only we know, Belle starts behaving badly, yet only we know why. I don't know why, ever since Rumbelle got married. I kinda feel sorry for her, 'cos Rumple's falling back to his old ways as TDO. It'd be nice if, Belle reverted back to been Lacey, if somehow, during "fall" Belle turns off, switches off her kindness and forgiveness and just starting going out at night and coming home late while Rumple spends time with Henry. Am I the only one who misses Lacey right about now. It would rub it in Rumple's face for lying to her, but I want it to happen when she finds out and then the next morning after a late night-driunken binge, she wakes up as Lacey at the end of 4A. Sorry, I got carried away.
