Sure that’s very possible but with this show you never know. For them to suddenly give more details about the death of character for whom we don’t even have a name and for it not to be an attempt to bond Violet and Henry (already bonded through death of a parent) just strikes me as odd. Like why that extra information? Violet is with Henry, she doesn’t need more reason to go with him to NYC.
Yeah agreed. You know how it struck me as well. It seemed like unnecessary information that they only put in there to foreshadow something in the near future. And with the untold stories plot coming into the fold for next season, that could play right into the Maleficent and Lily story line. And why not tie that story line in with a character who is snuggling up to the SQ’s son? It may be nothing, but similarly to wanting to see the dragon again (which we did when the writers got back around to it in the story they were telling), I want to know who Lily’s father was, and it felt at the time in 4b that they were hinting that it could be someone worth meeting some day. And they didn’t kill Lily or Maleficent. They just sort of left them there. It felt like something they could go back to, and honestly, other than the Phillip and Mulan story line they never told us and never will, they sort of have gone back and filled in some missing pieces (especially this last half arc), and given us some answers to questions I never thought we would get. So I don’t see any reason why not to believe they would come back to the Lily arc either. And since it seems they are keeping Violet around, they have to make her a little interesting right? And her father actually being from our world, and her mother actually dying from magic, seems like the stepping stones for something bigger in the next season.
