‘Once Upon a Time’ season 5, episode 6 preview: Belle, Rumpelstiltskin face off against Merida

Sunday night’s new episode of “Once Upon a Time” is going to be a rather big episode for Merida, but we don’t also want to lose sight of just how important a role Belle is going to have to play in this episode thanks to the extremely-compromising position Rumpelstiltskin is in.

Basically, the star of “Brave” has had her heart literally stolen way from her by Emma Swan, and has been forced to train Rumple to be bold by any means necessary. Can she make him be a hero? At this point she is even utilizing the toughest of methods, which includes trying to go after Belle. In the sneak peek below, she is nearly stabbed in the heart with an arrow, and he has to do almost everything in his power in order to figure out a way to save her.

Will he be successful? Since we don’t quite think the show will be killing off Belle anytime soon, we hope she’ll make it out alive. Let’s just hope that somewhere along the way, Merida also starts to realize more of what what she is being influenced and forced to do. It’s going to be hard for her so long as her heart is gone, and someone may need to figure this out in order to do something about it.

Luckily, if there is someone who knows a thing or two about magic and heart-stealing, it’s Rumple! Also, he could get a little bit of help from Regina if he chooses to go to her with some of these issues.
