I agree that based on Regina's former actions, the fact that didn't show Belle on screen agreeing to it, and the fact that the synopsis said that Regina Stole Belle's heart.....she probably did. However, what I have't seen anyone point out while on the subject of Regina telling Belle to forget what happened, especially if she had Belle's consent.....: This was an act! If Regina was trying to trick Rumple, she had to try and make it seem genuine. If she were really planning on possibly killing Belle, she wouldn't let Belle remember what happened! Then Belle could go tell people what Regina had done. Rumple is clever, if he thought that Regina really wasn't willing to kill Belle, he would kill Regina. So to sum it up: Regina had to make it seem real, if she didn't look like she had really planed this out and thought it through, Rumple would kill her.

Based on an earlier comment about Will:

Yes he is very stupid, and he has a death wish. I think talking back to the most powerful, evil man ever (or at least in town!) about his wife....probably not a fantastic idea. The one liner was hilarious though.... But hey, he was dumb enough to date the Dark One's wife..... I wouldn't put anything past him, it doesn't get much dumber than that!
