Hook has a photo of Mulan(sp) that he carries around, checking with a 3rd person to see if this is the right kid every time doesn’t make sense and that comment that Felix made that PP will find him or something to that effect doesn’t make sense that PP is the leader. The “office” had to be someone or something that can easily be contacted, PP seems to work at night time who works during the day shift then ❓
Milah* was Hook’s girlfriend. And that’s totally different. That was for sentimental reasons, she had just died. It’s natural that he’d be carrying around a picture of the woman he loved. Showing us looking at that picture is to remind the audience of Milah and why Hook hates Rumple but might be inclined to be OK with Bae.
I guess I’m having hard a time understanding what you’re getting at. The way I think this works is this:
–Peter Pan has the gift of sight. He sees the future. He had a vision that he needs Henry for something (we don’t know what, though we can speculate). Peter, like many high power commanders, doesn’t “do the dirty work” but relies on his followers. Peter has drawn a picture of Henry and has given it to his followers, who are under the leadership of Felix.
–Peter sends his Shadow out (I doubt Peter actually leaves NL himself) to collect children. The Shadow brings the children to Felix where they check to see if the boy is Henry. The Shadow is just a Shadow: it’s malevolent and creepy, but it doesn’t have independent thought: it can’t pick Henry out of a crowd and it the meantime Peter or NL need the boys shadows, so that’s why they continue to bring them to NL.
–Like I said before, the scene of the spare Lost One showing Felix the picture of Henry isn’t for Felix: it’s for the audience. It’s setting up what S3 is about. Yes, Felix has probably seen that picture dozens of times before, but it’s not about that. It’s about the mystery and arc of S3.
As to your day shift/night shift question: the Shadow works at night, it hates the light as we saw in SSTR. I’m assuming Peter is around during the day, or probably all the time but he can’t leave NL (can’t leave or doesn’t want to I’m not sure yet).
I would by someone controlling Peter Pan, but thus far the evidence of the last two episodes (GOAT–who works for the Home Office–taking Henry, PP wanting Henry and the utter creepiness of the Lost Ones and NL) seem to indicate that PP is behind just about everything.
Now as to the Home Office, I believe there are many branches in different worlds, all headed by different people but they all report to Peter.
