Unbreakable curse, intriguing. Thoughts and a crack theory coming up.
First, technically the curse is not “unbreakable”, it’s just impossible to do so without consequences. Drizella said that something bad would happen if the curse were lifted, with strong implications that Henry and/or others would die. That is not technically “unbreakable”, just strong incentive to stop the heroes from breaking it. Leverage as it were. This is not a nitpick, but an interesting and possibly important distinction.
Second: my crack theory. Say we assume that breaking the curse would cause Henry to die. I was wondering, how does that work? I mean, specifically how does a curse make that happen?
I could only think of one scenario. (That I could think of anyway.)
How does breaking a curse cause someone to die? What if the curse is the only thing keeping them alive? Like, what if Driz killed Henry right before casting the curse, and then had the curse create a phantom version of him? Like, it’s really HIM, but he’s still just a construct of the curse?
Remember, she told Regina to think of what was the last thing she (Driz) had done before casting the curse! And that’s when Regina began to tear up! 😮
And it would make double sense because it would also prevent Tremaine from using Henry to bring back Anastasia!
The most interesting part of this theory is that curse!construct Henry is still real enough to BREAK the curse with TLK!

Yeah, sorry! 😉
