I love that theory. You are perfectly right, he's been very off since he went through security, and it visibly effected him. I don't think he's as mind-wiped as poor Belle, but he's certainly very different. It'd be great if the next episode picked that up!
> It would be very interesting to have pre-curse Rumple in Storybrooke.
That would be bloody awesome. Heart-breaking, too, because with Belle drugged into vegetable AGAIN, he won't get a warm welcome.
Now I have this idea of Belle meeting and getting to know the original, pre-curse Rumplestiltskin. Plot-bunnies!
