She then told her to forget everything in order to protect her from Gold. Why would they include the talk in the shop if she hadn't asked for permission?

Also, I am still processing the crazy telenovela moment. I think they will clean up the mess they made, and I do hope that Zelena is lying.

First, I think that Regina took Belles heart without direct permission, and that makes sense to me. Why ? Well, Regina is just not that kind of person, even now when she seems to be on a good side. She just does what she has to do, she makes decisions fast and that's why I like her. She did what have/had (?) to be done, for better good in her opinion. (Sorry for my English. I haven't been using it for a while, hope I don't hurt that language very much)

I think that when Belle said "So, how can I help?", was enough for Regina, and she took it as "YES, U CAN TAKE MY HEART". And I like it that way. Regina stays fine for me. Not to mention that I don't think (or I hope) that Belle is not that kind of person and she wouldn't let Regina take her heart to toy with Rumple, her true love. Kill two birds with one stone, Regina didn't ask if she can take it.

Second, if Zelena isn't pregnant and is only lying, it would be such a waste of screen time. Such a waste of MY time, and in general, waste of time of all viewers. Toying with viewers in such a soapy opera way... Just meh, nothing more to say. I wouldn't be surprised. This scene made me realize that I really don't like Robin, that's it. I think Regina deserves better. I mean after Zelena/Marion came back to SB, Robin became so whiny and indecisive. And in all that mess I really don't blame him for sleeping with Marion/Zelena so fast, well she "was" his wife, fine for me. But c-mon! Zelena is just super-duper, ultra, hiper, 100th squared, to the cosmo power villain! U DONT HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF HER, ROBIN! Just wait till she gave birth to that child, take it away and kill her or whatever, what's the problem?! Just start to act like a man u once were, Robin!

I liked one scene in this episode, my RumBelle scene <3 Writers destroyed them, but I still love them. We will just have to agree to disagree on Regina/Belle. I think Regina's character growth speaks for itself, so I highly doubt that she took the time to go and talk to Belle without asking permission. I would, at this point, think of it as out of character for her to take from Belle without asking. If Henry is her moral compass, which I believe he his, then she is not going to do something that he would think was wrong. At least, she will give it her best effort. Zelena... on the other hand... is evil. Her goal is to torture Regina. She may not be lying, but it is definitely within the realm of possibility. It could be a means to an end in order to protect herself until she can get back to Storybrooke. She knows they will not kill her if she is pregnant with Robin's baby. Robin isn't concerned with her; I think he is, however, concerned with his child. That is definitely in line with who he is, and I don't blame him in that respect. I think Zelena is on more of a self-destruct path than anything else right now. I don't think Robin will kill her. Regina won't unless she threatens someone and is forced to. It is a great parallel to Regina's life before Henry, but we will have to wait and see how Zelena handles everything. I love Belle, but Rumple doesn't deserve her at this point. I'm not sure there is anything he could do to redeem himself. I suppose he has a big plan to rewrite the story, but I don't think it is going to work as well as he hopes.
