NAC - do you think Regina took Belle's heart with her permission? That was the impression I got after I thought about it. I mean I'd like to think she wouldn't of actually killed Belle, and that she knew Rumple would comply
NAC: I think Belle and Regina talked some things over beforehand, because if that was Regina talking for Belle the entire time, there's no way she would've known where Rumbelle got married unless Belle told her. And I think Regina returned Belle's heart after she threatened Rumpel, since she was seen walking away afterward, so I assume she followed Belle back to the shop and put it back. But I wish they showed whether she got full permission to take Belle's heart.
I honestly am not sure at this point. I’m still kind of hoping that she and Belle did talk things over somehow and that Regina returned her heart offscreen, but it seems like she may have just done it without asking, which is not cool.
I definitely don’t think that Regina has any intention of killing Belle just to get back at Rumpelstiltskin. That’s more of his thing these days.
I’m kind of done discussing this one until we have any later scene or answer that explains this moment because we don’t really know anything about it apart from what we’ve seen, which is not much.
