Bee, all that time stalking and they release the info. That name makes me feel like he should be a member of the Partridge Family. (Come on, I can’t be the only one who thought this.)
Maybe it’s a little to easy. I don’t know. They never reveal stuff like this, but maybe they’re not worried about the internet public since the majority of viewers aren’t in the fandom.
MR-J does not look like a Neal. But him and August both having literary names confirms, in my mind, that they know each other. My theory is that they met in Phuket. I can’t see Henry’s father knowing about the baby and setting up the adoption. I just can’t imagine it.
However, maybe August set up the adoption. He’d be around 24 or 25 at the time and maybe he thought he should check up on Emma because he abandoned his mission to take care of baby Emma and make sure she broke the curse. He could be feeling guilty and through his tracking found out she was pregnant and when she gave the baby up, somehow made it so baby Henry ended up in Storybrooke. That way it would be a link to where she was supposed to return in the future and break the curse. Maybe he felt that was enough and went out of her life until he returned. He could have felt that he was doing enough to ease his guilty conscience.
I just think there is some connection between Emma, Bae, and August.
