I like the Tin Man theory…but that “kind of liked you” line is really tripping me up there. I haven’t read the books, but in the movies the whole point is that the Tin Man doesn’t need a heart, he already has one…he loves without it. So wouldn’t Walsh already love her? I guess he could’ve entered into a pact with the WW to get back to his own love that isn’t Emma….?
That might be the ONCE twist. As we’ve seen with Graham and the Knave of Hearts, remove the heart and emotions cease. It’s not true to the books, but it is true to the ONCEiverse
