Really thought Rumple and the Blue Fairy had their memories for most of the first season: knowing now that they didn’t leaves so many questions…How did he manage to track baby-Henry in Phoenix? Why a baby states away when there had to have been available babies in New England? Who brought him to Maine if Rumple couldn’t leave?
I assumed, when I thought he remembered all along, that Rumple had PIs tracking Emma and sending him info. for 28 years: so he knew about Henry and where she was.[
I think I read somewhere that we’ll be seeing more of Emma’s past next season, so maybe some of these questions could be answered..Intrigued: what’s the alternative???
PriceofMagic: I’m getting to the point where I’m probably just seeing what I want to see..
I really thought that Rumple had his memories all along. Even the first time, the writers came out and said he didn’t, I was like there’s no way because who else could have orchestrated everything from getting Henry for Regina to writing the book and making sure it would end up with Henry if he didn’t know from the very beginning. Then, they said it again, so I finally accepted it. Other than trying to figure out those big questions, I guess on some level it makes sense because Rumple might have been pushed over the edge if he had to live with his memories of Bae for 28 years but not be able to go seek him out in our world. Plus, by keeping those memories hidden, at least for now Regina doesn’t know anything about Bae; although, I get super pissed at Rumple when he does things like challenges Regina about the real reason he made the Curse, because that’s only going to put Bae in more danger when he shows up, not that he wouldn’t be anyways, but no need to put him any more danger I say. (To be fair, that was before Rumple knew that Regina had Belle locked up, so maybe he’ll realize he needs to be a bit more careful around her now.)
As for who brought baby Henry, I still have no clue if Rumple and the Blue Fairy are both ruled out. The only explanation that I can think of is that the Curse did it because Henry was the only baby that could be brought to Storybrooke since his parents are both from the Enchanted Forest. I’m still under the impression that regular people couldn’t just enter Storybrooke, so I have no idea even if Rumple had looked for a baby and found out through making phone calls or what not that there was a baby available, how Henry could have even been brought inside Storybrooke if non-magical people couldn’t enter. Maybe it will be a plot hole that won’t be explained because I really hate the idea that Bae would do something like that especially if he’s Henry’s father.
