And Jack is a nickname for John, so that makes me suspect Hansel and Jack are one in the same.
Yeah I think that’s where this is headed. And it explains why the episode following is called “Breadcrumbs” which we all thought had a Hansel/Gretel feel to it but couldn’t explain why they would be inserted into a story in which they hadn’t actually been introduced thus far. Turns out, Jack is really Hansel. I guess…that’s one way to go. I would have preferred @gualtheria’s theory that Regina was being voodoo’d into doing it by Samdi but I guess it saves us a Henry/Ella/Jack triangle??
