The spoilers are probably true because they reference that Rumbelle scene, but it makes no sense....... The idea that Belle would just willingly stay back, that Gold would do all this to restore her and reunite with her and then just be ok with parting from her, not knowing if or when he'll return. After all that Belle did in the Outsider, after her adventures in FTL (which of course he doesn't know about), how on earth does this make sense?

Sorry, I'm not interested in Belle staying in town to have no storyline with Granny and the Dwarves. She belongs with the others, and certainly not parted again from Gold.
