I like that combo of writers.

Family Business.. that's an interesting name. My first thought was Henry working in the pawn shop with Rumple, but this is Belle's episode.. and then there is this:

I'm not sure how reliable this source is.. but if that's true, what could it mean? It might refer to the dagger fiasco, but I'd imagine Belle will find out earlier..

Maybe she finds out she's pregnant? That really could change everything..

I'm really looking forward to this episode!

That source is kind of so-so. Sometimes she or he posts gossip and rumors and other times rewords things we know and occasionally seems to have some stuff that pans out and we haven't heard before so it's hard to tell.

In any event I hope they announce who's playing her mom since they start this week.

well it would add an interesting dynamic if Belle was pregnant. Not only would it make Rumple overly protective, but it would also cause a what if scenario if a baby born of TL and the Dark One would be special and have powers..

To be honest, I think Vazquez is a hack but Chambliss is good and gives good Belle; I am giving him credit for the Belle parts of Dark Hollow and blaming Vazquez for the rest.

How can we have a title and STILL not know who's playing Belle's mom? Even if it's a nobody, don't they usually announce it? (I don't think the guy who plays Hans is exactly a household word, for example.)

Well, now you've got me worried about a pregnancy. But unless there's a time skip, and there almost never is within the season, it would be way too soon for Belle to know she's pregnant, right?

But "family business," plus the description of Belle's mom as being able to keep her cool under the most challenging circumstances, plus being a longtime Supernatural fan--in which the "family business" is "saving people, hunting things," aka slaying monsters--makes me wonder if Ma Belle was some sort of knight errant or otherwise in the same "business" that Belle is ("saving people" pretty much covers her job description, I'd think).

I honestly think it's still an open question whether Belle herself has some sort of magic (she uses Rumple's magic doodads easily, and they've still never explained her prophetic dream about that necklace).

Seamstress90

If that's the case, I'm afraid Rumple will lock her in their house to keep her and the baby safe.

Seriously though, even though I think it's a bit too early for pregnancy, I wouldn't complain.. as long as they don't use it as an excuse for Belle to stay with Rumple. But that would be interesting. What if Rumple would have to give up his power not only for Belle, but also for their unborn child?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to alarm you.

Yes, you're right.

That's an interesting thought.

In the original version of BatB her mother was apparently a fairy, and fairies do help people.. but I doubt that they are doing that in OUAT. I didin't get fairy vibes from the description of Belle's mom.

Who knows though..

Love all this speculation on here and on tumblr too...

All I know is that I'm so ready for this eppy!!

Belleislove

Well, that same source that talked about something big happening, imo, was indicating it wasn't a pregnancy just by how she answered, but rather a decision on whether Belle stays with him or leaves him.

I think a pregnancy is a given at some point but probably not this half of the season.

I wish they would hurry up and say who is playing Belle's mom. The longer they don't the more it will seem like it's no big deal.

Isn't it fun having things to actually speculate about?

I personally like these two writers together because they've been good to Belle and Rumbelle in the past so I'm happy, if this is their episode dealing with the dagger, that they're writing it.

crazy_diamond

It is indeed... and yes am happy with those writers too..

Rhonwen

Something big?? Rumple gives up his power to prove to Belle he means what he says.. It's just that addiction is too hard to just give up..

Violet Faust

Uh.......NEW PROMO FOOTAGE.

Who would have thought Rumple was a fan of the Disney movie?

Rhonwen

The fandom is dead because of perfection.. Rumbelle perfection

crazy_diamond

I HAVE DIED AND IT'S ONLY A 2 SECOND CLIP!!!

OMG

Lord knows how we'll all cope on S4 première night

Seamstress90

OMG! SOMEBODY HELP ME I CAN'T BREATHE!

They look so stunning! And that twirl! Just like in the movie!

I can't wait to see the whole scene! (I know I won't make it out alive, though.. )

Belleislove

The Rumbelle fans will be dead after the S4 premiere.

He twirled her!!!!

And I wonder if he used magic to get the clothes or he just has them there? We know how he loves dressing the other characters for their big moments. And now this is his and Belle's.

They both look so beautiful. I ventured out to look at Twitter (been staying away from looking for a few days, LOL) and am so happy to see so many others happy.

If this kills us can you imagine what a baby would do?

Violet Faust

It is actually a less than ONE-second clip.

The implications are stunning. Rumple has obviously watched Disney's BatB. Probably many many times.

Can you imagine cursed Mr. Gold, the meanest, coldest man in town, coming home alone to his big pink mansion and sitting there crying at a kids' movie on VHS?
