I'm resurrecting the topic, but I just rewatches 1x19 & 1x20 and I've been pondering a few things.

1) I really do believe Blue was anything but selfless and disinterested when she gave Baelfire the magic bean in the first place. She was trying to help him in order to get rid of the Dark One. Not only did she immediately suggest Baelfire took him to another land, but after she explained what to do to Baelfire – and here I have to give much credit to Keegan for her acting – there was that long breath / half smirk / fuck yeah I did it expression she made. Apparently that specific framing wasn't really necessary to the scene, so if it's there it has to be meaningful. She grabbed the first chance to get rid of Rumple by manipulating Baelfire into taking him away, except it backfired horribly.

2) We've seen in 3x11 that she kept many options open to break the curse – she discussed the resurfacing of "our story" with Snow at a point in time she was still supposed to be going through the wardrobe pregnant with Emma. This makes me think she was open for different solutions in case anything went wrong, so I think she divulged as much information as she could to child!Pinocchio while he was still the one to go through the wardrobe with Snow. Why she didn't tell Snow instead is open to debate (if I'm not mistaken, she didn't learn about the dagger until mid-Season 2), but wno knows, maybe she wanted some extra advantage by giving the information to someone less obvious since (once again) she came across the opportunity.

So, huh... she might not have had her memories in Storybrooke during the curse but I think she has had a few agendas at some point.
