True, but he didn't smile. I recall he was frowning. He did smile. When Belle left, he smiled, just before he returned to his true self. That looked like a production error. Colin was smiling, but Robert was frowning. I think the direction for Colin was off. Lol, you can't have two expressions at the same time. For me, it was just that he was smiling first and than he was frowning. Surely, he was frowning because Belle said she is afraid of him, so he was "sad" because of that, but his dagger is more important for him than Belle, so his first expression was a big smile. Firstly, joy because he has his power back, only than, on the second place, sadness because of Belle. Maybe, but looking at it. Usually the person in the glamour matches the expressions and gestures of the glamour. I don't believe that this would be the only case where it isn't true unless it's an error. I feel like it's not just about power for Rumple, but free will. As long as someone other than himself has the dagger, he has to worry about someone controlling him. He's addicted to power, yes, but he is also a slave to the dagger too.
