if its neal that dies do you think henry will be mad at emma for not telling him sooner who his dad was(its really his great grandfather’s fault for what happened with neal leaving emma) so they could’ve spent more time together and because of his memory loss he might be mad because he didn’t get to say goodbye to neal the right way
Regardless of whether the death is Neal or not – so far Henry’s memories have been handled very differently than I expected. From the spoilers we were given I had the impression Emma was purposely keeping Henry from getting back his memories – not that there wasn’t enough memory potion for him to get them back. I think this puts her in a completely different situation if the death IS Neal.
At this point there really isn’t anything she can do except to keep Henry in the dark about everything. It is pointless to try to explain to him who everyone is because not only would she have to get him to believe they are all fairy tale characters but she would also gave to try to get him to believe that he was raised by the Evil Queen and actually lived in SB for 11 years. I actually think it makes more sense for her to just wait to try to get a memory potion so he remembers it all.
As far as Neal goes – that’s also tricky because right now no one knows where he is and Henry won’t have any memory of the time he spent with him. So unfortunately the only knowledge he has of his father is as a “sperm donor” who abandoned his mother. So if Neal does show up do you think that he is going to be excited to meet and get to know him without his memories back?? I think poor Emma is in a terrible position here.
With that said, if it is Neal who dies I think it will SUCK if they kill him off before Henry gets his memories back. It seems like they will have two extremely traumatized characters left behind after his death – Rumple and Henry, and I really don’t see how they take care of that issue without massive problems for their relationships. And I don’t really think a season of Rumple having to be on suicide watch and Henry needing more psychotherapy sounds like one I would be looking forward to.
