Reply To: Didn't We Kill You Already?

Really enjoyed Henry Sr’s parting.

How to complete the unfinished business of the characters that can’t move one?

-Cora: Making it up to Zelena, and helping to heal the rift between her two daughters.

-Peter Pan: I don’t think his business will ever be finished. He is still as selfish as ever. Not only that but he can exist forever in purgatory, and the only he wanted was to live forever so he already has his wish. I am confused as to why he was there, to be honest. I have no idea what is fate is going to be.

-Cruella: Another character who is nonredeemable (due to her being evil right from childhood) so again, she should be in Hell, not the Underworld/purgatory. Maybe there needs to be some kind of resolution between herself and her mother?

-Any lost souls that Regina killed in her pursuit of Snow, or for sport might need some kind of sacrifice from Regina. I don’t think the show would have them exact revenge on her, so how on earth otherwise is she going to save hundreds of souls in that amount of time? Failing that, I think she needs to somehow give back the hearts of those who are deceased so that they can move on. Not sure how those she killed through other methods would be saved, though. Perhaps some magic button will be pressed somewhere that will allow all the wandering souls to visit those they care about first (or allow them to have it out with someone) before moving on. Perhaps this magic button needs a dollop of hope to be pressed. Yey for the Magic Button of Hope!

I honestly think that this storyline will not be taken as far as it needs to go, especially as they still need to fit in more Oz, and more New Camelot. Hopefully we will get a RH backstory as well (one that explains why he insists he too has a dark past). I think one or two of the characters will be released from the Underworld via having had their business finished, and this will represent the others being saved as well.

 

One question to think about:

Let’s say that Emma’s plan to split her heart to save Hook works. Hook still needs replacing. Who is going to replace Hook? For every soul that is brought back to the land(s) of the living from the Underworld (or saved from it’s fate of entering the Underworld), another person must die. Will Rumple sacrifice himself , taking all of the Dark One’s curse with him?
