Considering the photos show Geppetto on the shore of the lake with puppet Pinocchio, then they also show them setting up a shot in the same spot with the kid who plays Pinocchio and he’s dressed the same as the puppet, that must be the scene where he becomes a real boy. This happening all but IN the lake ties in nicely with August telling Emma about the legend of the lake that feeds the well and how water is magic.
Geppetto seems to be frantic as he runs up to the puppet then hugs it, so I’m wondering if maybe puppet Pinocchio gets lost, Geppetto drinks of the magical water that brings back things that are lost, then Pinocchio reappears and becomes real as Geppetto is holding him. Maybe.
I don’t usually look up spoilers, but after becoming convinced that August was Pinocchio, I looked up stuff for this ep to see what fairytale we’d be getting, because surely this will be the August ep, and I wanted to see if I’d guessed correctly. I’ll be very surprised if he ends up being someone other than Pinocchio now that I’ve seen those pics.
