Short Synopsis

I just don't like that Fairy...she seems sneaky. Especially after watching her in the Dreamy episode...she seems like a female version of Rumple with a bit less moral integrity.

Agreed! She may look sweet, but there's a sting in that jellyfish tentacle getup of hers.

Random moment: A bizarre image crossed my mind of Regina giving David an enchanted apple that messes with his head in an almost Garden of Eden-ish sort of way...

That'd fit nicely- I like it

I am starting to wonder if the Blue Fairy intentionally sent Pinocchio to our world for 2 very good reasons: 1) to make sure baby Emma was found by adults who could care for her and 2) to defeat Rumpel once and for all. We already know from ep. 14 that the Blue Fairy and Rumpel have something between them. Also, the promo for episode 19 makes it seem like August knows about the dagger. Mr. Gold also fears for his life. If August is Pinocchio all grown up, perhaps the Blue Fairy told him about how the Dark One (aka Rumpel/Mr. Gold) created the curse and how to defeat him. We saw from the promo that August is in possession of a drawing of Rumpel's dagger, if not also the actual dagger. It also appears as if August and Mr. Gold get in a fight, perhaps over the dagger.

That's pretty much what I think too, slurpeez. Pinocchio would have been the perfect candidate for those tasks.

Yes- this is exactly why I'm pushing so hard for the Pinocchio theory! There needs to be an adult on Emma's side who knows fully what's going on, and a child who grew up remembering is just the ticket! I love how August is being so patient with Emma...leading her into believing bit by bit rather than trying to throw it all on her at once as Jefferson did.
