Exactly! Belle's, like, the central intel and info station of Storybrooke, and not to mention the early warnings of Zelena's time spell and Ingrid's mirror spell.

Also, Don't think them heroes remember - Rumple's family. He is Henry's grandfather on his father's side, therefore, dark as he is, determined as he is, twisted or power-hungry as he is, he's still FAMILY, so helping him with Belle should be counted as an obligation - family always have each others' backs. Snow, David, Emma, Henry... they ALL need to see that and make it priority one.

Maybe Rumple didn't got their backs-- then again, maybe he did - in his own ways and code of conducts. It's only fair they do the same and assist Rumple in finding ways to override this sleeping spell; especially if they are to continue on this hero journey without regrets.
