Is there really suspense in this show anymore though? I mean we all know that the curse will break and probably sooner then later. That is the problem with having cursed memories. That is not interesting as a storyline because eventually it will break and they will hug and everything will be fine. It means that any problems that the characters are having while they are cursed are superficial and meaningless because they are only happening because they don’t remember, and the moment they remember, all their problems are gone. It is like an obstacle with a built in deus ex machina.
It is also very different then the first season where Emma had her memories and the mystery was will she believe what Henry is saying. The show was about Emma becoming a mother to a child she knew was hers. It was not this is her child and she doesn’t know it, so they have these weird conversations that seem bizarre because she shouldn’t be talking to this child that isn’t hers which could happen with Henry and Lucy.
The mystery in the first season was not will the curse break. I think most people thought the curse would not break right away, but as of now they have done too many memory curses and they need that to end quickly. I think someone needs to have their memories back by at the latest episode 7. Then they could just uncurse people one at a time. I could see them holding out on breaking the curse though because i think they realize what a mistake it was breaking the curse in Season 1.
