As for EQ & Robin Hood living happily ever after…I’d say yeah, they lived happily ever after. How…I don’t know because in Wish Realm, King Henry and the guards are still hunting her down and Robin’s still an outlaw at large, so….I just like to think the best in this case. It would have been so much better, had Henry sent EQ into another parallel realm as her younger self meeting younger/pre outlaw Robin Hood at the Tavern and show Page 23 coming true, that would have been perfect.
I thought sending them to wish realm was silly for the same reasons. Perhaps we’re meant to think that Robin and EQ were sent to wish realm past, remember wish Robin was younger than he should have been (as was Nottingham) in the real enchanted forest so maybe he was sent back into his own timeline at about the time when Tinkerbell said he and Regina were meant to be together, but allowed to keep his memories of everything that had happened before. That way in theory Snow and Charming could still meet somehow even without EQ chasing them, Emma could still be born, she could still meet Bae somehow (but how?!!!!) and have Henry so that eventually the new kinder Regina, married to Robin Hood for forty years or so by then, could see her Henry again…albeit as his step-great grandmother.
I think this was also an answer to the misunderstanding by the producers of the reaction to real Robin’s death. This, also, doesn’t change any of that. Hook is still alive and Robin is still dead. Hook still came back and kissed Emma at Robin’s grave. Hook was still special deus ex machina brought back to life by god for no reason at all, he did not deserve it in any way, whereas Robin was special extra strength killed so that he could not be saved even though he died saving Regina and helping get rid of Hades. That is all still true and all still hated and all still a mess and nothing about this storyline about fake wish Robin changes any of that.
I agree with all of this. Bringing back a different version of Robin doesn’t change what happened or make the recent storylines more palatable.
