Good point. Everything would have been different for all these characters(and maybe even loads of other characters we’ve not met yet) if he’d gone with Bae.
Yes, it’s a good point about the others, but for Bae, I wonder if his life would have been basically the same even if his father had come with him.
It’s hard for me to articulate what’s going on with the whole Bae and Emma situation, assuming that he’s Henry’s father of course, without knowing the Blue Fairy’s true motives right now because I do think she has some kind of motive. I guess it’s more I can’t figure out if whatever the Blue Fairy’s agenda might be has to do with Rumple more or Bae, Emma, and Henry more. Like did she need Rumple to help more people get their happy endings and/or to bring them to our world because of Mike’s theory that FTL was dying. Or was Rumple just the first part in her plan in order to get Bae, Emma, and Henry to get where they are now. I do think that both are important parts of whatever the BF wanted to happen, but I wonder which would be the most important part of the equation.
Also, Lil’Red has a great theory about “bean” holes which I hope she’ll share here like she did on Tumblr. I didn’t think about it before, but it makes perfect sense to me now.
I thought Lil’Red would have posted, but her theory was that Bae is in Boston because of the wordplay about Boston being Beantown. I love this idea. First, I love it because of the other clever wordplay that they gave about Bae if he is in fact Henry’s father. Second, I love it because I bet he started to watch over Emma after he figured it out about Storybrooke. Or maybe he just happened to live in Boston, and Emma moved to Arizona after whatever they had went bad. Although I’m not sure about that because I like Phoenix, Arizona being a subtle wordplay clue too since Baelfire reminds me of a phoenix.
