Holy Blimey Crikey and What Not !! You just made me think- the cost is Henry. Didn’t Emma say something like “This is a price we are both going to pay” and they where already debating about who gets Henry. Regina said all magic comes at a price.. then Emma said, this is a price we are both going to pay. I guess this has always been what many of us thought would happen.
But to me its clear now. I think this season is going to end with Henry gone, either dead or presumed so. Last season ended with him coming back just last minute, they wont be so lucky this time. This show has a long record of bringing back passed events several times in new ways. And this time it is going to be Emma’s magic tricks that does the deed, as opposed to Regina’s trick with the apple last season.
Whoa. Yeah! Totally never thought of that. I mean, I think Emma MEANT that Henry is going to get hurt, and neither of them want Henry hurt, so they are both paying, because Henry is hurting…
But man, you bring up a good point!
However…
We can always hope! I truly believe that since bringing Emma back to storybrook, Henry has served his purpose. He is now merely a point of discord between Regina and Emma. The writers don’t know what to do with him anymore and it shows… Let him die his heroic death and move along.
True.
I mean, I don’t want Henry to die, but there is a possibility there.
Also, I was just thinking during “lady of the lake” when SNow and Emma are talking in the old nursery and Emma and her finally have that connecting moment… and then Emma heads out, Snow looks back and pictures what the nursery looked like, and she is just beside herself with grief….
I think that although she LOVES Emma (now) and although she is so proud of her, Snow is so sad that she missed so much of Emma’s life.
I was talking about this with someone else and I was like “what if they ended the show… like finale finale… with them all going back to the time the curse was cast… and they all get a do-over. I mean, it would be totally redundant, but I think it will also kind of give hope… Snow and Charming will get to raise Emma, Henry won’t exist (but will in the future, perhaps, if we find out that Emma and Neal have true love and that Neal is from FTL)….
Not sure how I feel about that, but I felt the scene where Snow looks back was carefully thought out, as was her acting/reaction!
