I know that most people think the boy in the prophecy is Henry and it seems obvious that he is. But has anyone mentioned (perhaps somewhere else on the forum) that the boy who will be The Dark One’s Undoing is Pinocchio? Storybrooke now has 2 boys that inadvertently led Rumple back to Bae. Henry in finding Emma but August/Pinocchio (currently a boy) in his interference with Neal and Emma’s relationship.

While the boy in question certainly could be Henry, I also think a strong case could be made for August, who is now a 7-year-old boy again.

Plus we still don’t know how Mr.Gold procured Henry for Regina. Was he able to leave SB w/o incident as long as he returned? Was he able to leave SB because he had no one to be hurt by his leaving (like Granny & Ruby)?

Eddy and Adam have confirmed Mr. Gold was cursed and didn’t get his FTL identity back until Emma first arrived at Granny’s inn when he heard the savior’s name. Also, Mr. Gold couldn’t have left SB, because he was cursed the entire time. The curse actually prevented anyone who was cursed from leaving SB. It wasn’t until after Emma broke the curse and Rumple developed a magic potion to enchant his shawl to safeguard his memory that Mr. Gold was able to leave and find Baelfire in Manhattan.

If he wasn’t able to leave, who could have possibly brought Henry from Arizona to SB? August is the only person I can think of. Because no one else would have been able to see SB. How Pinocchio could be Rumple’s undoing I have no idea. Henry could be just by loving him for he is his grandfather. Or by enlisting his help in finding Neal. But with August back as a little boy, so soon after the prophecy episode I just thought here’s another little boy that could fit the prophecy. It’s a stretch I know.

I agree. August could easily have been the one who took baby Henry to SB, so in a way, August may have made it possible for Henry to find Emma, who reunited Bae and Rumple. In S3, we’re supposed to discover how Mr. Gold procured Henry for Regina, despite the fact that Mr. Gold didn’t know he was Rumple. Well, perhaps August is the one who brought baby Henry to SB, got in touch with Mr. Gold, who then gave the child to Regina.
