Emma’s Choice About Which World To Live In

Perhaps not Neal, but definitely Snow and Charming. She lost her family once and she won’t want to lose them again. Snow wants to stay wherever Emma is, but Charming wants to go home (he misses his sword). But I think Emma is going to figure out quickly that SB isn’t safe anymore and she won’t want Henry in danger.

I’m still sticking to the theory that Emma won’t even get to decide that and that certain circumstances will FORCE her to return to the FTL, be it permanent or not.

I don’t know, I mean I think that FTL is safer if they go to stay, but I think Neal would be a big factor epically with Henry, my theory, Emma would try to convince everyone to go to the place which Regina can’t whether that be SB or FTL because without Regina a whole lot of problems would be solved and Henry would actually be Emma’s son, also things are blowing up in SB with Greg and Her ( she is so evil I cant even bear to call her her real name) and also their is the matter that besides Rumple Emma Neal Henry Regina and like maybe Jefferson everyone is trapped within one town

Maryrose, I have to disagree. Emma by now should know that Regina does love Henry and so Emma should acknowledge Regina is his adoptive mother, whether she likes it or not. She was willing to give her a chance before (she invited her to the dinner and decided it was ok if she let Henry see Regina from time to time) and she believed her up to the point when Cora blatantly framed her. When Emma shouted those hateful word outside mayor’s house it was all because she was under the impression that Regina lied to her and murdered Archie. Since then, things changed. Yes, when Regina teamed up with her mother, she became dangerous, but Cora is dead now and Regina proved that she will do everything for Henry, including destroying the spell that was her last resort. She’s also not threatening Snow any more. So what “whole lot of problems” would exactly be solved with Regina gone? I know she’s still not a saint but so isn’t Rumple, yet they let him to be around the Charmings’ family and have some feelings for him just because he’s Henry’s grandfather.
Not to mention Emma has heard recently a lot how she’s “just like Regina” so I suspect she will understand the brunette’s position and behaviour a little bit better. Not as ‘Emma’, but as a ‘Saviour’ she will have to give Regina a chance since ‘that’s what good people do’ and everyone deserves their chance at redemption as we’ve seen in the last episode between Snow and August. Yes, it would be so much easier and tempting to leave Regina behind, but in the end, she IS Henry’s mother too and they have to respect it as equally as the Grandpastiltskin.

I kind of understand their thinking with Emma’s conflict, to a point:
I get Emma maybe thinking twice about taking Henry to an ogre containing EF- but honestly, with Cora gone & Regina hell bent on going evil on everyone’s backsides & getting Henry back- FTL is by far the safest option for Henry right now (esp with Neal’s psycho ‘intended’ in town).
People don’t seem to have the same problems with killing off ogres as they do for humans, so those big blighters will be put back under control again soon enough anyway- it’s not like it hasn’t been done before & they’ve only had 2years to roam unchecked, so doubtful they’ll have reached their old ‘war time’ population levels in that short space of time- besides our world contains 10’s if not 100’s of thousands of killers, murders & monsters- I’d rather the dangerous monster you can see, than the one that hides in plain sight 😉

Regina isn’t going to harm Henry. She loves him and Emma knows this. With Cora gone, Storybrooke isn’t such a dangerous place. Tamara is keeping a low profile so she isn’t such an obvious danger to the other characters yet.

Ogres could breed like rabbits. Even one ogre can cause enough problems. Would Emma really want to put Hnery in that sort of danger especially with his tendency to run off when he thinks he knows best?

I don’t understand the conflicted part for Emma herself, Emma’s family is from FTL, as others have pointed out Charming wants to return, Snow just wants to be with Emma, Emma wants Henry (& what’s best for him by extension), Henry wants all his family & has already stated he wants to go to FTL- I’m sure in Henry’s mind, he assumes Neal will follow.

Emma has never once mentioned friends for even people she cares about or care about her missing her- her only family is from FTL, all her friends are from FTL, even the place she now calls home is FTL transposed onto our world, which has become an extremely dangerous place to live in, given the people of our world’s reaction to ‘magical’ stuff- like ‘ET’, as Grumpy so eloquently puts it 😉 …. she has nothing in our world to stay for.

Emma spent her entire life in this world, it’s all she’s known. Her first experience of FTL land was a confusing and unpleasent one. I don’t blame her for being a little hesitant to uproot her entire life to a place she didn’t even like being. Not forgetting how Charming remembers FTL is a lot different to what Emma and Snow experienced. Snow doesn’t want to go back to FTL, she’s just using Emma as an excuse.
