Re: PROMO

Wow, there are so many amazing scenes in this promo! I’m so excited for the finale! I also love everyone’s insights and theories.

I think the scene when Emma holds Henry’s book and it starts glowing is the exact moment she believe in fairy-tales which then unleashes magic in SB. We hear a voice-over of Mr. Gold/Rumpel saying, “Magic is coming.”

Also, I love the cat-fight between Emma and Regina in which we hear Emma threaten her, “If he dies, you die.” We hear Henry’s heart monitor flat line, which makes me think he appears to be clinically dead, even though we know he is just in a sleep resembling death. Then we see Emma fling Regina across in the hospital medicine room. Awesomeness! It’s like episode 7 all over again.

Also, nice catch about Emma holding a sword in the elevator shaft! The sword is probably Charming’s, which Mr. Gold probably had in his pawn shop. As a side note, we see Rumpel and Prince Charming fighting in FTL. Perhaps Prince Charming makes another deal with Mr. Gold that he’ll trade his sword for knowledge about where SW is being kept. Or perhaps Rumpel takes it from PC by winning the duel. Perhaps the sword has some magic properties that Emma needs to break the curse in FTL. Perhaps Rumpel enchanted the sword with magic while still in FTL anticipating that Emma would need it for some special purpose in SB.

I’m thinking that the scene of Emma in the elevator must be after Emma believes! I think the elevator is going down beneath the streets of SB. The walls appear to be concrete, like you would expect to exist under a town in the sewers. It doesn’t look like the mines, because if you recall episode 5, that elevator broke and plummeted down that sink-hole. Also, the mine shaft walls were much narrower. Although, it could also be an industrial size basement like that of the hospital, the court house, the heart vault, or even a library.
