Does Emma supress her better judgement about Hook the way Belle was shown in 4×6 to suppress her suspiions about Rumple lying to her? That’s why I want Emma to take a good hard look in that magic mirror to see what difficult truth she’s submerging in her subconscious.
As I was reading the last few posts, I was thinking exactly that, then you beat me to saying it. #onebrain
It did seem to me that the mirror drew out less than favourable things that Belle had been pushing to the back of her mind and made her confront them. There was a little list of doubts and fears that MirrorBelle rattled off. Emma’s got her own little building list, with things like the blondes comment, and also Will’s comment about getting in good with the kid. In cases like those, Emma momentarily reacts, then seems to just brush them off. They’re all ending up dwelling in her subconscious, same as the things Belle didn’t wanna think about in regards to Rumple. So if the mirror brought those things to the forefront for Belle, it should by rights do the same for Emma.
