Yes he did. It was The Bear and the Bow. Anyway, it seems like it's going to be Hades's episode. Nope.... 5.06 was a Belle and Merida centric episode. Flashbacks are only 35% of an episode. It was a Belle centric. Belle in the flashbacks and prominnent Belle in the present day. Rumple and Merida were simply the major players to Belle story.

Sorry. Belle being in every scene in the episode does not mean it is her episode. Did we learn anything new about her? Did she have any development as a character?

The flashbacks were entirely about Merida. In fact you could have replaced Belle with any other character and the story would have remained the same.

The present day were totally about Rumple. Belle was used to motivate Rumple. Again she was a plot device to develop another character like always.
