I’m gonna hafta go back and re-watch to see if Jefferson actually said anything about her saving everyone. If he did, then that begs the question of how he knew there was meant to be someone coming to save them, because not many people knew about that prophecy. But I think perhaps he just told her that she has magic, and he knows this because the clock started ticking and stuff started happening when she arrived. He may not know her actual destiny, he may just think, “OMG someone new in town and she can make magic happen! She could help me escape.”
Yes, yes, Jefferson saw through the telescopes, no one told him. I’m still wondering if he was actually stuck in that house until Emma came. That alone would have let him know she was magic — clock moves, doors can open…
Also can’t buy into Regina doesn’t know he’s there. I think she knows every character that is in SB. I don’t however think she keeps up with them all on a daily basis, and so if Jefferson, was locked in that house for 28 years, I imagine she had no idea he could even leave. I will have to look at that scene again where he talks about being there 28 years. If I were Regina, and I knew he knew the truth, I probably would have locked him up to keep him from upsetting the limbo of power and control I had. 28 years of stasis — what a false perception of control. Who would enjoy everything being the same day after day and thinking I’m victorious. That just sounds so boring. 🙄
