maybe she didn’t think it was necessary because David had made peace with his father’s demise
Well this I think is more dependent on how his death happened. If Hook killed him for example, I think that would have come up at some point. I am really going to guess his dad faked his own death and escaped to the untold story land to get away from something. And EQ knows what it is.
That’s a good point because I was expecting the EQ to say “did you ever wonder if he’s really dead!” which would be in line with what so many of us were speculating over the summer, but that’s not what she said. She made it sound like Charming’s father is in fact dead (as dead as one can be on this show) but that the manner of his death is in question, not the actual reality of his death.
