Well some people are theorizing now that maybe the BF has a hidden agenda for doing this to August because he might know too much. If they do it that way and leave open the door for someone to return August to his correct age, then I think it could be a really interesting idea.
This is a twist I could totally get behind, if August is lying there dying, and is about to spill everything he knows, and Blue butts in and is all, “Oh no you don’t,” and steals his memories away. That would actually be kinda cool.
If the theories about the big, bad, spine chilling reveal at the end of Manhattan being about Blue prove to be true, then it’d make sense if they’re showing her more nefarious side in future eps. She probably could have just changed him back into a flesh and blood adult again, but then he still knows too much, so instead she’ll smile sweetly and be all, “If you wish it, I can give you and your father a second chance at your life together. *bats eyelashes innocently*” and then BAM, he’s a kid again. She wouldn’t even have to specify beforehand that the second chance involved the de-ageing. That could play into the theories that in Manhattan, she’s gonna be the Seer who Rumple doesn’t ask enough specific questions of. She could just offer them the opportunity without explicitly stating what it involves, and they’ll be all, “Sounds good, let’s do it,” without thinking it through properly.
