- Belle has to finally leave him. Emma and co are jerks to imply that they would let Belle stay with an evel, evil man. Does anyone really think, Emma and Co. would actually want Belle to stay with Gold, now that he has shown his true colors?

Had Gold not agreed to reopen the portal to the Underworld, Emma would have teleported to Belle and told her the truth. Hook figured out what happened as he was stabbed, and tried to warn everyone about the betrayal. There is no way he would keep his mouth shut, if he is resurrected with his memories in tact. Mary Margaret cannot keep a secret to save her life, and David never has an opinion on anything. Regina loves reminding everyone that she was the Evil Queen, so she would love nothing more than to ruin Gold's happiness.
