During the season finale of Once Upon a Time, we saw Mr. Gold reunited with Belle. With season 2 starting up shortly, what can we expect their relationship to be like?
Belle will, understandably, be running into a bit of a culture shock. If she was transported from the fairytale world and has been locked away the entire time she’s been in Storybrooke, it stands to reason that she’s going to be a little confused when things don’t work exactly the same way in the real world as they did back home.
But a bigger question will be what kind of relationship she will have with Rumpel. “Rumpel has always been a character who has had to choose between love and power, and he has always chosen power,” co-creator Edward Kitsis says. “So now that Belle, this wild card, has come into his life, how will it affect his meticulous plan? And which path will he now choose because of it?”
As of the end of last season, it seems that he’s definitely putting power in front of love for now. But how long will that last? Will Belle be able to convince him to give up his magic? Given Mr. Gold’s obvious regret at how things turned out with Belle before, we think she’s got a good chance at getting through to him. Perhaps if Bae comes back as well, they’ll finally convince him that power isn’t everything.
This nice little spoiler comes on the heels of another one about Prince Charming’s mother and what may or may not happen to her in season 2. And don’t forget to check out this new promo video that was just released, which features Mr. Gold transforming into Rumpelstiltskin due to the purple smoke.
Once Upon a Time premieres Sunday, September 30 at 8:00 p.m. EST.
