Makes sense to me too. Get outta my head. 😉 I’ll just say a big DITTO to pretty much everything you’ve posted in this thread.
Also wanna add that I really think that people are giving August far too much credit for his actions in this ep. I believe he was acting under orders from Blue Fairy/Mother Superior, and what happened to Emma is all a part of her grand design. In being Blue’s messenger boy, August felt he was doing his part to try and make up for having ignored his role in her life when they were kids.
Not only is he carrying the burden of his own mistakes, but also the burden of his father’s mistake. Pinocchio didn’t ask for this role, and it’s in his nature to not be well behaved, so he’s struggling, and I think that struggle, and his mistakes, are understandable. Hell, I can even understand why he ran off to Phuket. If I had to deal with the demons he’s carrying around, I’d wanna run away to a tropical paradise full of pleasures too, and if someone put the cash to do it directly into my hands, I’d find it hard to resist. That doesn’t mean that I don’t wanna slap him upside the head for doing exactly that, of course I do, because it was undoubtedly the wrong thing for him to do. But all of us do wrong things…and often you do one wrong thing, and swear you’ll do better next time, then you don’t, and the mistakes keep piling up, and you just wanna run away and forget it all. The stronger people will stand and try to make up for their misdeeds and turn things around. The weaker ones will run and hide. August is the latter, and given his actions, he totally had the re-wood-en-ing coming, so I’m not gonna say he doesn’t deserve to be in that crappy situation now. But I do hope that he finds a way to redeem himself, coz I’ve got a whole lotta empathy for the guy.
Oh, and one final thing…even if you hate August for having told Neal what to do, Neal still did what August told him to do. He still had the choice to leave her or to stand by her…and he left.
