He's enjoying being allowed to be bad but Lacey's WAY too shallow to hold his attention for long. It reminds me of how Belle described Gaston - 'Love is many layered, I could never really love him he's too shallow'. . .or something like that! Lacey is, well, trashy, and I also think Rumplestiltskin isn't going to be happy with her for long, if for nothing else for the lack of character she shows. He tends to enjoy some levels of sophistication in dress and behaviour, while she likes to party-party-party. Yeah, and I hope he was as horrified as I was for the red coar/ble shoes combination.

I think Lacey as a person for Gold is exactly like she appears as a character to the audience: she's fun and enjoyable for a while, but in the long rune she might get annoying. And does not compare to Belle anyways.
