Re: What Happened to Kathryn?

@ hjbau, I think you’re on to something with your theory.

I don’t think that the episode is going to be about the story of Alice in Wonderland as we know it, but about how the hatter became mad so i just thought maybe he became mad because he visited our world. I could see that.

I don’t think Wonderland is an alternate reality to FTL or SB. Nevertheless, I do think the Mad-Hatter went crazy, because he had the power to travel between the two worlds. To FTL characters, Storybrooke is an alternate reality and vice-verse. The Mad-Hatter (a.k.a. “Jefferson” in SB) will appear crazy in SB because he believes in fairy-tales as truth. In FTL, he may appear crazy because he somehow had the ability to visit SB before the curse was even unleashed.

I think that hjbau is absolutely right.

And i have this whole theory that the episodes that are about secondary non main characters are really about Emma….And if they do that with the Hatter episode then it could be about how he visited the real world and then everyone in the fairytale land thought he was mad and i think that could help Emma think about the insanity of believing Henry and they could further that plot. Especially if they intend to have Emma believe by the end of the season.

The reason I think so is based on this episode summary:

Jefferson/Mad-Hatter will play a role in trying to convince Emma that the fairy-tales she's heard of are in fact true. The synoposis for episode 17: “Jefferson, a young rakishly handsome, former criminal who in Fairy Tale Land has given up his life of crime and dedicated himself to his daughter, while in Storybrooke he is a dangerous and mysterious figure who has knowledge of the Evil Queen’s curse and attempts to persuade Emma that it is real.”
