Whether it's dark Lacey or light Belle, she's going to bring out the side in him that no one else can bring out. However, I'm not fully convinced that Lacey loves Mr. Gold, that they have true love, that she DOESN'T want him to embrace the darkness from within. I think Lacey's true love is power, while Belle's true love is Rumplestiltskin. Lacey is a bit too curious about how magic works for me to trust what her true intentions are. The scene in the Shop's backroom reminded me of her being a Mob wife sort of person.

But Rumplestiltskin has got to love to be able just let go as he wishes and still 'get the girl'. Belle brought out the good, but it was never as strong as the evil. Note when he beat the crap out of Hook even as Belle told him to stop.
