Rumple deciding to turn his back on the darkness and trying to be good could have been the start of a second redemption arc for him, but I think he's hurt her and everyone else too much for it to ever feel real. I think Robert said he wanted them to talk things out, but things didn't go well with Eddy. Ignoring 6A's wackiness that fans and actors apprently disliked (Golden Queen, abusiveness), 6B was set up okay, but Belle was not present for much of it and they had Rumple do evil things for stupid reasons. Like, Rumple denied his father his life two times and killed him twice, yet for some reason he fell into his mother's arms easily. Separation should be their fate (I mean, they do live in the same town, so it's not that bad).

Hopefully that's addressed in the upcoming season.
