Another random observation. When Rumple sealed Belle in the shop at the end, he was openly wielding the dagger. In fact, it did not even look like he was trying to hide the fact that he had the real DO dagger from Belle. Was this a careless oversight by Rumple (very hard to believe, he leaves so little to chance), or did Belle give him the dagger back as means to protect him (and hopefullly her) from the curse?
