The title “The Cricket Game” makes me think either someone evil is playing games by using Archie or that Archie has gone rogue and is playing mind games since he’s a shrink.
They did hint a while back that someone we thought was trustworthy might surprise us, didn’t they? If you can’t trust the conscience, who can you trust? If he does get himself in the middle of some scheme where he’s manipulating people’s minds, I’d guess that he starts out with good intentions, to try and make people see things from an alternate point of view, and it goes wrong.
Interesting points, slurpeez and Phee. While I think he’s grown as the role of the conscience this year by stepping in to help out Regina and demanding that Dr. Whale leave his office immediately, he still did some shady things last year that I’m not sure he’s atoned for. He was willing to let Geppetto send out baby Emma without both of her parents just because Geppetto brought up the fact that Jiminy helped kill Geppetto’s parents and helped make Henry look crazy in Emma’s eyes, but later on in the season thought it was okay for Henry to be left in Regina’s care.
So I could definitely see him starting out with good intentions doing something but having it backfire on him. I couldn’t really seeing him go rogue, at least at this point, but I could definitely see him starting something that someone comes along and tries to take advantage of, most likely Cora.
I didn’t watch the sneak peeks for Into the Deep, but I read that apparently Cora does something to Aurora while she’s under, so if that turns out to be true, maybe Archie hypnotizes Regina, and Cora attacks Regina while she’s under hypnosis.
