This being said, unfortunately I have to admit that Hook's kiss in NYC should have broken Pan's curse. It didn't. True Love's Kiss does not work, on memory loss. Both parties must remember loving each other, for a true love's kiss to work.

Besides, Hook kissing Emma in NYC, was an impulsive decision. Sure, he was hoping that maybe it would work. Mostly, he was just relieved to see her. Similar, to how Emma hugged Snow White, after she realized she was alive.

Back to Skin Deep:

In no version of Beauty and the Beast, does a true love's kiss break the spell. The Beast had to learn to love, and earn another's love in return. Generally, the Beast admitted his feelings before the Beauty did. She usually proclaimed her love, as he was dying.

Like I said before, Rumbelle no longer seems like a twist on the Beauty and the Beast fairytale. The original story, was not about a woman trying to save a monster. It was about a monster learning to be a man. Agreed, it doesn't work on memory loss. And I think it's pretty obvious that Rumple is still learning. Don't get me wrong, if Belle decides to leave fine by me, I get where she's coming from
