Maybe this is ironically a Rumpelstiltskin episode because everyone calls him a coward. Maybe he goes to the Healer for help to heal Belle, and the Healer doesn’t have anything to do with Mulan at all.

This has to be PINOCCHIO/AUGUT’S story! The Blue Fairy said in “The Stranger” that so long as Pinocchio were “Brave, Truthful and Unselfish” that he would always remain a real boy. The last we saw Pinocchio, he’d turned back into a wooden man. By the title, I think we may see him turn back into a normal man again. Perhaps he’ll perform a brave, heroic, and selfless act again. As heartbreaking as it’d be, August could meet a heroic end, but die as a real man. We have yet to see August and Geppetto have their father-son reunion. What if August were to die in his father’s arms after saving everyone from Cora/Regina? 😥

February 1, 2013 at 12:42 am #171133lilredParticipantOkay is this what the Blue Fairy told August to be or Bae as a child…? I’m thinking August – maybe this ‘healer’ is from our world. I could see August seeking out some spiritual/physical advice when he starts feeling the pain and realizes that things are getting into motion. Plus, we haven’t had enough August this season but he is an important elements in a lot of story threads. 😀
February 1, 2013 at 12:45 am #171135antbeeParticipantI forgot what the Blue Fairy’s words to August were, but yes I just looked it up on OUaT’s so that makes sense it’s about him. Mmm, since we still haven’t had someone big die this season, the title of this episode seems very ominous. I’m predicting that August redeems himself by dying this episode, and/or they up the stakes with Archie being able to be killed by killing off Marco since Archie may have protection as long as Marco is still alive.
Don’t really know if it works the same in our world or not, but Marco makes sense too because maybe everything will come out about the wardrobe lie, August’s secret, and Marco’s and August’s reunion, so there wouldn’t really be any need for Marco anymore. With all those story lines wrapped up, August could then decide to leave Storybrooke or stay there, but only pop up when they need him in a story line. I’m guessing August bites the dust though.
ETA: The Healer being a part of August’s back story makes sense because he stayed in that part of the world for a long time. It makes more sense to me than seeing Mulan’s back story since there’s so many loose ends that need to be wrapped up before the end of the season, and not a lot of time to do it in.
February 1, 2013 at 12:46 am #171136SlurpeezParticipantYes, the Blue Fairy said that to Pinocchio. This clip shows the BF turning Pinocchio into a real boy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7DvCi1EV3c
Based on a recent spoiler, I’d guess the healer and August may have no interaction at all. Rather, we might see the Blue Fairy turn August back into a real man and simultaneously see the healer return Philip’s soul to his body in a parallel plot that takes place in present-day FTL with Mulan and Aurora along for the ride.

Sadly, it does seem a big possibility that August will die this season – which I’m kind of sad about because part of me wanted him involved in the ‘final battle’. It would probably cause more drama if Marco dies in place of August: could see his final words freeing August from feeling like he failed his papa but then carrying on the burden of proving his worth to the ‘good’ guys..and then, with Marco dead, there would remain the possibility that Archie could die in future seasons – actually die!
February 1, 2013 at 1:19 am #171142swanhookParticipantI’m really confused, who’s the ‘healer’ everyone keeps talking about?
As for being about August, I think its possible. The directors said we will be finding out what happened to August. And maybe we can find out what was in the box 😀February 1, 2013 at 1:26 am #171143lilredParticipantThe only casting so far for this episode is this..
a guest role (preferably with an Asian accent) is being cast: The Healer. He’s 60, mystical, powerful, helpful to those in trouble, and makes predictions that can be difficult to understand.
And we better find out what’s in that BOX at some point and not leave it dangling for seasons to come. 😀
February 1, 2013 at 2:28 am #171144RumplesGirlKeymasterGotta be an August story!! Gotta be what’s INSIDE THE FREAKING BOX. If the box is not featured in this episode, and its contents….. *explosion*
Ok. Theory for this episode: We learn where August has been for this whole season. We also learn of his connection/deal with the BF. At the BF’s instructions August broke up Neal and Emma by showing Neal the picture of Rumple’s dagger in his box. Later, he collected baby Henry and brought him to the BF who then gave him to Rumple who gave him to Regina, but only AFTER the BF had put the idea of having a child into Regina’s mind. I think in order for August to repent for his actions with Neal and Emma AND because he broke his promise to Emma when she was a baby, he will probably die in this episode. But hopefully after he has reunitd with Gepetto.

Yes, I would put money that either August or Gepetto is a goner this episode to write them out of the show. I’m not sure what happened exactly whether there were any truth to the rumors that Eion Bailey was difficult to work with, which seems unlikely given that there’s been no rumors about his behavior from other projects he’s worked on, or whether the writers just didn’t know what to do with him because there were already too many characters to work with this season, but it’s a shame that they couldn’t have wrote his character better this season.
He was never my favorite character, but in terms of the show’s continuity, it just makes it look bad that last season he’s close with Emma and Henry, and this season, everyone pretty much forgets all about him, not even any mention of him since episode 3.
Anyhow, while I’m not sure about the time line for him to be able to bring Henry to Storybrooke because it seems like he was in Phuket from the time he took the money from Neal until he started turning back to wood on Emma’s 28th birthday, but I always thought that there was something to Regina saying he looked familiar to her. So for characters that are on canvas right now, I would say that August probably had some part in bringing Henry to Storybrooke while Greg has something to do with Henry’s book.
