My Gosh Schmack! you are killing me here !! I couldn’t stay away from commenting 😆
It is the same Question I’ve been answering all along, or tried to answer.
Let’s take Regina point of view out of it for a sec. And look at it from Emma’s angle. She does, sometimes, want Regina to be good and believe she can change.
-So belief and motivation is there, for Emma to act with.
-We already established that Emmas actions will influence Reginas
-So can we agree that she would then want to act accordingly, for that change to happen ?
Then what does Emma do?- She takes away Reginas sole motivation to change for the better- Erm! Wrong thing to do. Because If your horse only follows you, when you hold out an apple in front of it- you don’t throw the apple away- because then your horse don’t follow you…. Ergo- Throwing away the apple, would be the WRONG thing to do, if you want your horse to follow you.
And I don’t agree that Regina is a danger to Henry, neither do I believe that Emma is completely convinced of that, she might not be convinced of the opposide either. But she was willing to give Regina a chance before ‘the Cricket insident’ hopefully she will come back to that-maybe she is already, but Regina doesn’t know that right now.
