I bet in the Quiet Minds episode, Lumierre knows Belle, but isn't fond of Rumple. And something tells me, Rumple probably wouldn't be fond of him either. I have this theory, The enchanted forest flashback ended badly for Belle and Lumiere, and at the end of the episode, (present-day), everything is resolved. I also think The WWotW is Cora and Rumple's daughter. And if she is, she probably was shunned or ignored, leading to her becoming evil, in desperation for love.
