Wow, thanks for posting! I’m really excited for this episode now more than ever! After watching these clips, I think that the pages August must have added were a new ending to the classic story of Pinocchio! August wants Emma to know what really happened to that puppet in FTL. He is clearly setting the stage for Emma to believe that he is Pinocchio. Also, I think that the new ending that August added was how he came to our world to protect baby Emma.

Also, the clip of MM and Regina echoes the words that Maleficent warned would happen: Regina has a hole in her heart that cannot be filled. Also, like in episode 8 when SW forgave the EQ, so is MM forgiving Regina for framing her for a murder.

Also, David must be really insecure to flit from one woman to the next. I know he is only trying to be nice, but Regina is playing him big time! The card read “Mom” on the outside but was blank on the inside. Regina obviously forged it and claimed Henry was neglecting her to make David sympathize and stay for dinner. Still, David must be really thick to think that “something in the universe” wanted Regina to find him. She completely fabricated the story of her finding him on the side of the road. Everything out of Regina’s mouth is a lie. Doesn’t he know Regina tried to frame MM? Maybe not if MM and Emma haven’t told him about what really happened. I hate the effect that the curse has on David, because he is unbelievably dim-witted. You’d think he’d at least maintain some of his former charms, as MM obviously maintained some of her kick-butt attitude when she kicked Jefferson out of a window in episode 17.

Finally, I wonder if Mr. Gold is declining Emma’s request to gain custody of Henry because he wants Emma to put her trust in August instead. In episode 19, Mr. Gold said that Emma trusted August, and perhaps Mr. Gold hopes that Emma will start to trust August even more, which will help her believe faster. Otherwise, I’m not sure what Mr. Gold’s game is and why he’d turn down Emma’s request. Maybe he truly doesn’t want Henry to get hurt, which is what I predicted would happen if Emma rashly goes head-to-head with Regina. Still another thought is that Mr. Gold has another intentional reason for Regina to maintain custody over Henry. Perhaps it is a key part to breaking the curse.
