It's also worth noting that Jaime looks nothing like Kristin. The casting department is usually better than that. (Lily excluded.) Not to mention, it looks like this flashback takes place during Belle's time working for Rumple at the Dark Castle, based on those photos Bobby and Emilie posted. We've seen Mal in "Enter the Dragon", which took place years before that. Not to mention we also see Maleficent during this time period in "Heroes and Villains".
