Don’t forget though that Mr. Gold said he had buried the knife because when Emma came to town he saw things changing. I took that to mean he wasn’t certain if certain magical items were going to “find” themselves with magic again. Thus hiding the knife from Regina. He said he didn’t want to take a chance. So obviously, he himself doesn’t even know how far reaching the affect of Emma’s appearance in SB is going to be. He must think it is possible she will bring the magic that is in stasis back to life, particularly in some of the objects that held magic.
Agreed.

There are other means of doing any of these things without fairy tale magic, for example, Technology, Science are simply other kinds of “magics”. Perhaps, Graham and the glowing heart are connected in a different way. Consider this scenario: The Queen has apples and boxes of hearts. Let’s say the nectar/poison of the apples still acts as a sleeping potion. Graham was given an apple, he goes to sleep. While asleep, Graham’s heart is somehow linked to the glowing heart which, btw, doesn’t have to be magic to glow. Remember those real-life Glo-Worm bedtime toys? Think like that. So, when Regina has a temper tantrum and crushes the heart, she broke her toy – rather humorous and subtle subtext, if you ask me.
Maybe I’m missing something in your explanation but it still sounds like magic to me. What is this “somehow” that Graham’s heart gets linked to the glowing heart after he has been sedated by a drugged apple? Unless you are saying that Regina put Glo-Worm innards into a real heart and when she crushed it (and it turned to dust, by the way), Graham just coincidentally died at that moment.
