The next day, all seemed to be calm, unnervingly calm. As Rumplesiltskin walked the streets of Storybrooke, he kept himself on high alert. Emma informed him what Lucy could have planned for him, and he knew the only place Belle was safe was at their home. He argued with her most of the morning about staying in, but she eventually promised that she would not leave, which gave him some comfort. As he approached his shop, he noticed a light on in the back room. He slowly entered the shop, observing everything around him. Every object seemed to be in its place. Maybe Henry was finishing up his chores for the day. "Henry?" He received no reply and he continued walking toward the back of the shop. When he entered the room where he kept his most powerful objects, he saw Lucy making objects disappear and then reappear again in her hand.

"Oh, hi, daddy. I thought I'd show you what I've learned so far." He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The only person that ever learned magic that quickly was Zelena.

"How did you learn to do that?"

"You really don't what to know how, as much as you want to know who taught me." She placed the small brown box in her hand back on the counter. "But you should know the answer to that question already. It's parenting 1-O-1. When one parent doesn't give their child the answer they want, they go to the other."

"I was never a father long enough to learn that rule. Bae's mother left when he was very young. I'm all he ever had. And if there is something you haven't learned about me, dearie, what I say goes."

"You can try to scare me all you want, dad, but I'm not scared of you. And really, I'm sure you have other things you may want to worry about."

"I feel you're my priority." Lucy disappeared and Rumplestiltskin rushed into the main area of his shop where Lucy was sitting on the counter.

"I heard my stepmother might not be my stepmother much longer."

He became very uneasy. "My marriage is none of your concern."

She laughed, "You actually think you still have a marriage, that you ever really had a marriage? Belle has been so blinded by trying to make you a better man that she continuously failed to see who you truly are. You're a man that values power over life, love, and family. That is the only one true love you have ever had."

"I love Belle!"

"I never said you didn't. I simply said that power is your one, true love."

"She knows who I am, and she still loves me."

She got off the counter and looked her father in the eyes. "I don't think she's blinded by love any more, papa. It just so happens that this afternoon, I saw her having a wonderful time with some of Robin Hood's men. And let me tell you something…they seemed pretty merry when she showed up."

Becoming overwhelmed with anger, he quickly grabbed the collar of her shirt. "You're lying! She promised me that she was staying at our house. Belle never breaks a promise."

Lucy grinned. "You lie to her all the time. Your entire life with her has been filled with lies. Maybe she finally learned something from you." She snapped her fingers and she vanished into a light blue cloud of smoke.

Rumplestiltskin followed the smoke coming from the campfire where Robin Hood's men were gathered around, drinking and laughing. The moment they saw him, they immediately got up and backed away. "Where is my wife?" They remained silent as they stood staring at him in the dark. The silence quickly broke as Rumplestiltskin heard Belle's laugh coming from a tent.

As he walked toward the area of the camp where he heard his wife's laugh, Will Scarlet exited his tent, topless, almost running into him. "Mr. Gold, I…" Before he could finish, Belle followed him, wearing not much more than Scarlet's leather jacket and holding a bottle of liquor. "Rumple, what are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same question. You promised me you were going to stay at the house."

Belle struggled to speak. She had just been caught in her own lie. She knew Rumplestiltskin had lied to her so many times and he could smoothly talk his way out of them. However, lying was a new thing for her, and the words didn't come out as smoothly. "I…I was sick of sitting around the house all by myself and I went for a walk. I, um, ended up running into these nice men, and they fed me lunch. I spilled beans on my cloths and Will gave me some of his to wear until mine dried."

"After knowing me for so long, Belle, I would expect you to be a much better liar."

Will interrupted, "You would think your ex would have taught you better, love." He kissed her cheek and Belle smiled. "Go back in and lie down, sweetheart. I don't want you to get cold. Let us men have a heart-to-heart." She obliged and went back into his tent without saying a word to Rumplestiltskin.

"What are you doing with my wife?"

"Well, first of all, according to those papers you gave her to sign, she's no longer your wife. Secondly, I think it's pretty obvious. Do you really need to ask?" He looked back over his shoulder and peered into his tent at Belle. "She's a feisty little thing, but you already knew that."

Rumplestiltskin quickly pushed his finger into Will's chest. "Listen to me, Scarlet. She is the love of my life and I'm not going to lose her without a fight. You might want to ask the Sheriff what happened when he tried to take her from me. He'll tell you, it didn't end well."

"I'm not trying to take her from anyone, I'm just looking for a good time. And from what I can tell, so is she." Rumplestiltskin made a fist, debating about punching him in the face, but then quickly disappeared from sight.

When he arrived back home, he saw the papers sitting on the kitchen counter, and at that moment, he was forced to face reality. He picked up the papers and flipped through them, stopping at the page which bore Belle's signature. He stared at that line in total despair. All he needed to do was sign those papers and his marriage would be over. She really had moved on. He had the small possibility going through his head that she was just acting out, that she just needed to express her anger, but she'd forgive him and come home. In his mind, he would have forgiven her, just like she had forgiven him so many times before. However, any possibility of that happening was completely gone. She was no longer the young, innocent woman that willingly went with him, giving up her freedom to save her father's kingdom. She had become a very strong, experienced woman who knew what she wanted, and that was no longer him. He was certain she hadn't known love like theirs before she met him. Now, not only had he allowed her to fully love him and give herself to him as his wife, he caused her all the pain and anger that Milah had once caused him. She loved him unconditionally, and he took full advantage of that. He slammed the papers down on the counter and walked back towards the living room. Her chipped cup was still on the end table where he left it. That little cup, that once brought him so much hope, now caused him so much pain. He picked up the cup and threw it against the far wall and watched it shatter into many small pieces. Seeing it destroyed was still not enough to please him. He walked over and crushed it even more with his foot before punching his hand through the wall.

Back at Regina's house, Lucy's training was coming along better than expected. Regina couldn't believe how quickly her daughter was learning how to use her magic. She thought back to all those times Rumplestiltskin tried to teach her simple things, and how they took her days to learn. However, with Lucy, she was able to do the same things almost instantly. He was right. Their daughter really was extremely powerful. What else should she expect from the daughter of the Evil Queen and the Dark One. "Should we call it a night, Lucy? I'm sure you could use a break."

"That's up to you, mom. I'm alright."

"How about we finish that pizza we ordered from Granny's and talk for a bit? I'd like to know how your day was."

Lucy grabbed a slice of pizza and sat down on the couch. "My day went pretty well. I was just exploring the town, and took a walk in the woods…I wonder how my father is doing?"

"He seemed alright the last time I saw him."

"Well, maybe I shouldn't pry."

Regina became very curious about what he daughter was referring to. "What do you know?"

"Uh, nothing, really. Don't you have a hot date with Robin Hood tonight or something?"

"I did, but he got called back to the camp. There was an issue he had to attend to…Wait, you know what happened, don't you?"

"My father's problems are none of my concern."

"What did Rumplestiltskin screw up now?"

Lucy smirked and cleared her throat, as she tried to keep herself from laughing. "Well, as far as I know, he didn't screw up anything. It was Belle that was doing the screwing."

"What could she have possibly…" Regina suddenly understood what Lucy was saying. "No, not Belle…Really, Belle? Are you sure you have the right woman? I don't believe Belle would ever cheat on Rumplestiltskin. She loves him."

"Maybe she finally had enough. I mean, I know he's my dad, but the guy is kind of a selfish ass."

Regina chuckled, "I guess. But you have no idea how dangerous he is when he's mad. This can't be good."

"It's late. I'm sure he won't be any danger tonight. Besides, he's probably still in shock knowing that the love of his life is sleeping with another guy. He needs time to think of a plan. He won't want to act on this without a plan."

"I guess you're right. He can be a man to act without thinking, but with something this drastic, he's going to have a plan."
