After the second Peek, I’m more certain that Grumpy was part of the ruse at the Town Hall. Someone said earlier in the thread that others like Granny etc might have been in on it too, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised. With Emma at the front of the room, Regina at the back, and several others in on the plan scattered through the middle, and standing up to speak, it means they could case the whole crowd as a team, to see if anyone wasn’t responding in an expected way, and maybe weed out the culprit.
As for Hook, I’ve been wondering if Neal could the one who sent him the message, and if so, then his reaction here would make sense, because if he’s been in contact with Neal somehow, he knows he’s still alive somewhere and is doing what he can to help from wherever he is. I mean, whoever gave Hook the message needed to know Neal’s address, needed to know that there were things in his apartment that would help Emma believe Hook. I think that narrows down the message sender to either Neal or Rumple, because no one else has been inside Neal’s apartment.
Yeah I don’t get this at all! If there are things picking you off in the woods then WHY GO INTO THE WOODS.
*skips away singing* If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise…
