Rumple tries being a hero and he never gets what he wants, so why change. Gold did not want to change, and made that very clear. His "good side" was always a manipulation. Besides, the Dark Swan forced him to a "hero". One good deed does not make someone a hero. It was perfectly in-character for Rumplestiltskin to become the Dark One again. He told Emma that he would stop her, and this is how he did it. I just said that. But Rumple's whole stopping Emma plan was not this. That plot point was dropped because Rumple didn't think about becoming the DO until this epsiode (aka Broken Heart-Swan Song).
