SQ ending up in the real world, as a watcher/protector of Emma, just defeats the whole purpose of the DC. If Rumple had the capability of sending SQ, why wouldn’t he have just gone himself? I sure hope they don’t try to force feed this scenario down our throats.
I’m remembering a scene, back in S1x12, Skin Deep, when Gold was locked up in jail. He had just gotten his memories back. Emma offers him half her sandwich & he declines. Reggie shows up with Henry and suggests that maybe Emma take him for an ice cream. Right as Emma is leaving, Gold asks her to bring him back a cone. Probably random, but you never know…….
