Not calling you crazy, because I agree… but how will Emma feel [about her parents’ reactions] when this part of the puzzle clicks? I mean, we’ve seen her anger at being sent off to jail because “Pinnochio told you to!” aimed at Nealfire. Even though it has all worked out in the long run (sort of!) that’s still a harsh means to an end.
And it would elaborate more on the theme of the season: the Lost Girl. She knows why her parents sent her through the wardrobe tree portal, but that doesn’t lessen the pain of her lifetime of abandonment.
JMo said recently that Emma is having to re-learn her own history. She’s discovering that things she believed, which had formed a major part of who she believed herself to be, were actually misconceptions. That’s gonna do your head in a bit and take some time to adjust to, especially considering that the truth Emma has to readjust to involves magic and fairytales and whatnot.
