This is not about the dagger ( Regina had the dagger during the time the were in Camelot, and she didn't go back to her Evil Queen mode) is about Baelfire

In 1x19 (I think) the Blue Fairy said that Baelfire's was touched/tainted by dark magic. I'm going to make the biggest assumption ever and will take it as that she was talking about this.

Beowulf was dead, Baelfire couldn't remember this, so only Rumple knows about it. Why in the world would Rumple tell her about this is beyond me.

This is still a poor writing choice because they have been portraying in a different way for like 5 years, and now they do this just to have a parallel with Gideon (and to make Rumple look better)
