I think Geppetto did the wrong thing. He has risked the fate of the world for something that might not have happened. Pinocchio may have been fine. And i don’t blame Geppetto for wanting to save his son, but i do blame him for chancing everyone elses lives and actually doing it. And August became irresponsible and a liar and while he was just a kid he isn’t anymore. And i agree that it seems like the reason he came back was just to save his own life and not to help Emma or everyone else. I actually think Emma is going to have a really hard time trusting a lot of these people. Emma feels abandoned by her parents and now we learn that Geppetto and Pinocchio lied about the cabinet to save Pinocchio and then left Emma alone.
