Okay, so when August pretends to be Bae in “The Return”… He knows an awful lot about him. We assumed he must have some kind of contact with Baelfire to know all of this. But he DOES say “A fairy told me”… What if Blue has had her memory the entire time, and in fact DID tell August what he wanted to know for her own machinations?
That’s the theory I’ve been subscribing to ever since the ep aired. Seemed obvious to me that she’d kept her memories the whole time and that’s what her meeting with August was about. It’s why I haven’t put too much stock in the theory that August knew Bae. He didn’t have to, coz he got all that info from Blue.
I’ve even gone so far as to speculate that she didn’t just orchestrate Henry being brought to SB, but may have also orchestrated his conception, especially if Bae is his father. Blue contacted Bae in our world, and he’d met her before, so knew she was who she said she was. She directed him towards Emma, explaining who she was and that he had to meet her as it was a step in eventually having his father’s curse broken. If that proves true, then she was the one who sent the postcard.
Anyway, ever since she was labelled as the “original power”, I figured she had to have contained both light and dark magic, and something that happened to her may have split her powers and created The Dark One. Maybe she was trying to rid herself, and thus their world, of dark magic, not realising that it’d just migrate to another being and become harder to control. Maybe she’s been figuring out a way to gain back that control ever since.
She’s delightfully diabolical. 😈
