Btw, The scenes with Belle and Henry are kind of adorable, they have a lot in common (mainly books), and even though Belle may not like to be a grandma, she's doing it a lot better than Rumple has when Henry was working in his pawn shop. OMG, yes! I really hope they explore their relationship more. As much as I loved Grandpastiltskin, I'm really interested in the family dynamics now that Belle 'divorced' Gold. I mean, part of the interesting things that keeps coming up with the main heroes is that (except for Hook) they're all related through blood, marriage, and/or adoption. A big theme seems to be the idea of family being there for each other. Belle married into the Swan/Mills/Charming/Gold family but then she exiled Rumple. While I don't think any of them are about to blame her or really, really miss him (maybe Henry), with him, she exiled the link that made her family. I'm interested in seeing how the characters will view her now. Will Henry still see her as Grandma? Will she go back to being a friend or remain included in the family? Also, just realized, if Emma and Neal had gotten married, Belle would be Emma's step-mother-in-law!
