Ok, I’m just commenting on what I read here…and replying what I think…
Rumplestiltzkins built in the curse that he would retain his memories. I honestly think August helped get Henry in to storybrooke, in my head he feels bad for going off his path to help Emma get on her path as savior. Here are some theories, did August write the book, and hopes Henry would understand everything in it and therefore search out his birth mother, and fulfill August promise? Now I don’t unsterstand myself how August got in touch with rumplestiltzkins, maybe during the end of season 1 when he was the mysterious man on the motorcycle, he was afraid rumple would have recognized him. As far as getting Henry in to the town, I think Regina can change the view of the town, from viewable to not viewable, and he was simply brought in. Without anyone having to leave.
I don’t know, just my thoughts…
First, welcome to the forums!
All good questions. Rumple did ensure that he would get his memories back once he heard Emma say her name (hence writing it over and over in the cell with the squid ink) but until that moment, he did believe himself to be Mr. Gold. Therefore, while we know that Gold did get Henry for Regina, Rumple didn’t know anything about it. I still think August had a part in it, as you point out. I’m not sure about the book, though. My theory was that it was the Blue Fairy who wrote the book and it came with everyone through to SB where Mother Superior gave it to Mary Margaret, though she wasn’t sure why.
