I do almost wonder, Keb, if they are going to loophole it around to somehow bring back Baelfire… a version who has no knowledge or recollection of any time ever spent with Emma. How Henry would still exist, I haven’t a clue, but given the lack of sense and logic on this show, it wouldn’t surprise me. Some sort of re-cast, 30-something Baelfire, who somehow has to be convinced that in some alternate life he was a car thief who has a teenage kid.
It seems to stick out like a sore thumb that they ignored that one key piece of BTTF, and that would give Bae back to Rumple without messing with CS.
Also, RG, yeah. Yet another OOC necessary to make this dumb half-season plot work.
I had very little hope going in but now I have even less than none. It’s over. They named the baby after him. It’s over.
