My theory on Belle and crossing the line/losing her memory.
She asked Rumple early in the show if she could go with him to find Bae. He said he only had enough potion for ONE item (the item that is most precious to the person wanting to cross the line). We see him pour the potion over Bae's scarf and then step across the line, memory intact.
I think the scarf is ALSO Bells's most precious item. She loves Rumple and wants him to find Bae. She even risked her life to retrieve it from Hook's ship. Rumple and Rumple's happiness are most important to her, so the scarf represents that most important thing in her life.
So perhaps when she crossed that line whenHook fired the shot at her, the scarf that Rumple was holding and had put the potion on, "protected" her as well.
Just a theory. thoughts?
