Sometime between abandoning Emma and his leg starting to turn into wood he much like the victims of the curse lost who he was, somewhere between 18-35 he didn’t do enough.
Maybe he had no way of finding her before now, so had given up trying? But when his leg started to give him trouble, he was drawn to the place they’d come through to our world, and in turn to nearby Storybrooke, where he found her, and everyone else. It was only then that he realised he could in fact still attempt to fullfill his promise and guide her into believing.

Although what Gepetto did was selfish for himself and Pinnoc, I can’t say that I blame him, all circumstances considered. All he ever wanted in his life was to have a boy, a real boy. And that was finally granted to him and almost instantly it was about to be taken back. If you could save someone you loved from dying, wouldn’t you? I know I would. It wasn’t the admirable thing to do, but his love for his son blinded him and he couldn’t bare to think he would be responsible for his son’s death.
Agreed. Any decent parent would go to ANY lengths to protect the life of their child, so I simply can’t write Geppetto off for doing just that. Also, we saw earlier in the ep how Pinocchio abandoned the raft, letting Geppetto take the life preserver to save himself. When Geppetto woke up, he was grateful to his son for having saved his life. In saving Pinocchio from the curse, he was returning the favour.

Did she actually ever see the keys in the book? I can’t remember, so many episodes now and I didn’t record them so I can’t look back.
I dunno that we’ve ever seen a pic of the keys in the book. Think the only time we saw a key in relation to FTL is was the keys they used to open the box with the snakes that killed Leopold, and that’s something WE saw, not Emma.
