Reply To: How did Henry get to SB?

This story is enough to give you a headache.

Here are the conversations from the show between Gold and Regina concerning Henry. Let me know if I miss any.

1×2 The Thing You Love Most

Mr. Gold: Perhaps you should have come to me. If Miss Swan is a problem you can’t fix, I’m only too happy to help. For a price, of course.

Regina: I’m not in the business of making deals with you anymore.

Mr. Gold: To which deal are you referring?

Regina: You know what deal.

Mr. Gold: Oh, right. Yeah. The boy I procured for you. Henry. Did I ever tell you what a lovely name that was? However did you pick it?

Regina: Did you want her to come to town? You wanted all this to happen, didn’t you? Your finding Henry wasn’t an accident, was it?

Mr. Gold: Whatever do you mean?

Regina: Where did you get him? Do you know something?

Mr. Gold: I have no idea what you’re implying.

Regina: I think you do. Who is this woman, his mother, this…Emma Swan?

Mr. Gold: I would say you think you know exactly who she is. I really must be going.

(Mr. Gold starts walking away from Regina. Regina runs ahead and stands in front of him.)

Regina: Tell me what you know about her.

Mr. Gold: I’m not going to answer you, dear. So I suggest you excuse me. Please.

2×19 Lacey

Regina: You did this!

Mr. Gold: Trust me, dearie, it was as much a shock to me as it is to you.

Regina: No! You must have known! When I adopted him, it was you who procured him for me. You expect me to believe that that was a coincidence?

Mr. Gold: No, not coincidence. Fate. And apparently, fate has a sense of humor.

Regina: Fate. So, you’re playing the part of the loving grandpa now? They won’t accept you, no matter what you do. Not your son, not any of them.

Mr. Gold: We’ll see.

I don’t think the baby was put on Gold’s doorstep. Nobody that wasnt’ from the Enchanted Forest could pass the barrier. Henry, being the exception. And of course, Owen, who was caught inside the town as the curse was cast and escaped. We know that Gold set up the adoption. Regina had to be the one to cross the border because she was the only one who was able to do so. So somehow someone from the “outside” got into contact with Gold and he set it into motion.

No way it was August. He was too busy on his own personal “Pleasure Island” trip in Phuket. He had $20,000, Emma was on her path to breaking the curse, and he felt his job was done…until his legs started hurting 10 years later. So my guess is the Darlings, too. If they lived in Neverland for an extended period of time, it would explain them living so long. Peter Pan sent them back to their home world, our world, to put his plans into motion and would account for them being adults now. The same people I think had August tagged, too, since Tamara knew exactly where to find him and how to con him. They knew his movements and habits.

We’ve been waiting for this since the beginning of the series. Besides who exactly Henry’s father was, the question of his adoption is what we’ve all been waiting to have answered. When they finally do address it, it’s going to be huge and earthshattering and fantastic.
