Now, I have a question i’d like to put to you guys – do you think Pan orchestrated Emma going to jail? I think John and Michael were suspiciously quick in trying to adopt Henry. I personally don’t believe that it would negate anything Neal did – he made his choices, and they were the wrong ones. He abandoned her, didn’t try to go back to fix what he did even though he regretted it, conspired with August to at the very least arrest her IMO. What do you guys think???
I have actually thought about this as well. Back in the episode where they showed Pinocchio leaving baby Emma in the orphanage I have wondered if maybe Pan had something to do with “Pied Pipering” Pinocchio and the other boys in the orphanage away to become became Lost Boys (kind of a twist on the traditional Pinocchio tale). This would have allowed enough time for Emma to grow up unprotected by anyone from the EF, allowed her and Bae to meet and get pregnant. Then Pinocchio could have sent Pinocchio back out into the real world reminding him that his job was to protect Emma and could have convinced him that having her put in jail would be the best way to help her. Keep in mind that August was also an orphan so he would have been perfect Lost Boy material and could have easily fallen for anything Pan told him. Yet after years of wandering the world and trying to “find himself” he could have realized that he made a horrible mistake and was therefore trying to correct his mistake by going back for her (someone else who realized he messed up and decided to go back!!) and then would also realize he wasn’t really an orphan because he had a father in SB.
