Hm guess I have to see the episode, but originally it seemed like Ana left WIll for HER own good, not his, while with Emma and Neal it seemed Neal was concerned about Emma.
I hope they don’t do a 180 here and say “oh no, Neal was being selfish and as for giving her everything he had, that was just…forget about that, won’t even mention that part of it.”
The thing is, Ana didn’t act like someone concerned with trying to make things right but just erase the past and start again for a very long time. So I guess I don’t like comparing her to Neal simply because I feel he is much higher quality in a moral sense. Yet her redemption seemed sincere, and love is love. I’ll watch the episode, because the point of forgiveness is simply that when you love someone, you can move on from things if there’s a sincere desire to treat each other right despite previous mistakes (or even intentional wrong choices, in what I thought was Ana’s case).
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
