But I do sorta agree with you, Rena. I love Belle to death. She is sweet and caring and always has faith in other people. But she really lacks skills in the intelligence department. I mean, she's definitely book-smart, which makes her very useful to Regina and the Charmings, but as for as common sense and deduction goes... She's not very good. :P

And a normal person would figure out that their mom was clearly killed by ogres in her place and not have to go on some dumb quest that nearly resulted in the death of a friend. Ugh, I hate that episode.
