Season One
Belle's counterpart was checked into Storybrooke Hospital's psychiatric ward at some point in her life and has stayed there since.

When Mr. Gold beat her father Moe French for stealing from him, Regina Mills visited her and gave the residing nurse a rose to give her, as she enjoys roses. She opens the little flap that shows the room of Belle's Storybrooke counterpart, prompting the counterpart to look up. Regina looks at her, smiles, and shuts the slot.

Jefferson pretends to be a doctor and sneaks down to the psychiatric ward to free Belle's counterpart. He tells her to go and find Mr. Gold, and to tell him that Regina Mills held her captive. She suceeds in doing this, and the couple has a short, slightly one-sided, reunion. He leads her out into the woods, and (due to Emma Swan succesfully breaking the curse), she remembers, and tells Rumpelstiltskin that she loves him.
