As far as the title for the finale . . .
I was also pretty sure that was going to be the title but after thinking about it for quite some time I don’t think the episode is going to have anything to do with a physical location. I think they have been pretty clear that they are trying to show that “home” isn’t a place but is made of the people you love. So I would be surprised if they suddenly shifted from that central theme in the finale and suddenly made home about a physical location. I actually think this is going to be the CS wedding episode where Emma GETS the home she always wanted – literally GETS the home, GETS Hook, as in GETS to keep him – he becomes HERS forever. We might even have the TLK in the same episode. Although it seems strange to think that they could move that quickly from the TLK to their wedding I can see them doing it. If you think about the Wizard of Oz movie Dorothy was bound and determined to run away – she goes through all this heavy crap with her new found buddies, kills the WWW, becomes the heroine of Oz, then BOOM realizes that she never should have taken off in the first place and in the next breath is telling Auntie Em there is no place like home. After ALL THAT she decides that what she was looking for was right in her own backyard. We JUST had Emma tell Hook that of course she was considering marrying Monkey Man – she was in love. So if we follow post false memory logic Emma – when Emma realizes she is in love with Hook (who is thankfully human) AND she realizes that he has been her home all along – how long do you think it is going to take her to decide to marry him??? And I’m guessing Emma is gonna figure all that out with a TLK with which Hook can breathe a giant sigh of relief that she DID actually feel the same way he did after all. And knowing that when Emma was in love with flying monkey she seriously considered marrying it, how long do you think it is going to take Hook to ask her to marry him – considering that he has mentioned Emma’s potential monkey marriage in every episode so far???? Poor Killian has Emma and marriage burned into his brain right now and it doesn’t appear that will be changing any time soon. As soon as that man sees that Emma loves him and realizes that he is her home, it’s done – he’s proposing to her.
