It turns out that the terrible thing Emma did was rip out Violet’s heart and make the young girl break Henry’s heart so that Emma could have a tear to free Merlin. Is this a step too far for Ms Swan? Was it necessary or justified? Can Henry ever forgive Emma?
It was a horrible thing to do, but I don’t see that she had any other choice (as in, I don’t think it would have worked on any other couples because they would have smelled a rat and would not have been heart-broken) so I honestly think what she did was justified. Violet can always explain to Henry afterwards that she was manipulated by the the DO, so she and Henry can continue their friendship (no reason for long term heart break). Also, Emma tried to match-make them again by having the horse run away (and when does match making not involve a little bit of coaxing, persuading and manipulation?). The biggest loss would be Emma’s relationship with Regina, but given that he gave Regina chances in season 2, then he should give some to Emma, too.
As a side note, I am not enjoying Regina’s hypocracy over this issue. She has used children herself before, and for far less noble reasons, not to mention 10 years of gaslighting Henry.
