I'm a hopeless Mulan fan so I cheer whenever she shows up, no matter for how short a time or silly a storyline!

I agree with everything about Rumplestiltskin, though - while I can, at a stretch, understand that Belle sees him changing since the whole "I promise I won't kill Regina (heh heh I'll just make a wraith do it" incident. He hasn't directly lied to her since, he helped Henry in the dream world, he didn't kill Hook. But he is absolutely not remorseful about his past, and constantly works around Belle to keep his power and control over others. Regina really is getting better (if slowly and awkwardly) but he is just the same, only better at keeping it away from Belle.
