I think we may see that story in S3. My hope is that Emma was looking for Neal. It also makes me wonder, in that same episode, Emma is talking with Ashley and she says
Emma: I was eighteen.
Ashley: When… When you had a kid?
Emma: Yeah. I know what it’s like. Everyone loves to tell you what you can and can’t do, especially with a kid. But ultimately, whatever you’re considering doing or giving up, the choice is yours.
Who was telling Emma to give up her baby? Was she thinking about keeping Henry? Did she go to Tallahassee to find Neal and tell him about Henry?
Oh, nice! I’ve watched that episode only once (I got stoked about OUAT only around the time “A Land Without Magic” aired) and it’s been so long I did not remember that. It does seem like a mysterious someone pushed Emma to give up Henry for adoption, doesn’t it?
