Henry shouldn’t get to feel sorry for himself after lying to Emma to get her out of the house. But okay, he’s a teenager, and teenagers sulk. Regina shouldn’t be critical of Emma manipulating Henry’s feelings, since Regina and Henry manipulated Emma’s feelings.[/quote=310893]
WASN’T IT REGINA who tried to convince Henry he was crazy and sent him to a psychiatrist for a couple of years? Emma does one manipulation and Regina gets on her high horse. ( granted it was with a borrowed heart) Henry should confront his mother and ask her if she returned the heart.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, Regina loved Henry with everything in her soul, mind, and heart, and he knew that! Henry only started to feel the way that he did when Regina told him that she had adopted him, thus beginning the concerns of whether she loved him or not, and combine that with that stupid storybook, and that’s where things went sour! Henry was happy for ten years! He was happy, and it didn’t start till he learned he was adopted and that stupid book pushed him, and he wasn’t in therapy for years, by the way Episode 2 broke it down, I’d say only a month or so before Emma got to town, and when you look at it from Regina’s point of view, she was cornered with a no win situation and did the only thing she could think of, it could have been worse…instead of therapy she could have went to her crypt, whipped up a potion and gave it to Henry, but she didn’t.
The reason Regina is on her high horse is because she expected Emma to resist such darkness, and the mere fact Henry was the victim puts that at an all time low. The Anti Heroes are expected to do such things, but not the Savior, even if she is temporarily the Dark One. Not to mention that Emma used traumatic event from Regina’s past as the method to hurt their son, which just adds fuel to the fire. Basically she’s letting Emma know that she’s gone to far this time.
