Rumplestiltskin thought his feelings for Belle would make him weak, so he went to Dr Jekyll. He was hoping to use the experiment from Dr Jekyll to enhance his dark side, & remove his feelings for Belle.

However, there's a whole in this plan. If he wanted to lose the ability to love, wouldn't this mean (that not only would his love for Belle go but) his love for his son, Bae would go too? And he clearly doesn't want that! About 90% of his plans at that point in time were all about reuniting with his son, & making up for what he did. So isn't it kinda a gap in logic that he wants to take this experiment?

Am I missing something, or is this a plot whole here? Does anyone agree?
