Reply To: Why Does Peter Pan Want Henry's Heart?

I think Pan wants a family. That is what this show is all about. That would fit very well with what we know about our characters’ motivations; even the so-called villains really just want a family. Neal said, “Believe it or not, dear old dad was all about family.” That would fit very well with what we know about our characters’ motivations; even the so-called villains really just want a family. PP probably isn’t so very different. Henry said, “My family is different. We always find each other.” Maybe that is what PP wants, a family reunion.

Peter must see something very special in Henry. He has something he doesn’t. My first assumption was that they wanted Henry dead, but I don’t think so. Remember how the evil queen could control those, whose hearts she kept? This is just a theory, and I might be light years off the mark from where the writers are going, but my theory is that this has something to do with Henry, and Peter’s (assuming it’s Peter’s) shadow. I think the plans Peter has for them both are none too wholesome.
