I felt some sympathy for him turning back into wood and being ashamed to see his father but now I get why he’s ashamed. He took away the only person Emma knew that cared about her robbed her of her cash & split leaving her with nothing but a stolen yellow bug. He’s just a horrible, horrible big brother!

Pinocchio, by nature, is a liar. He even said there were too many temptations in this world for someone with his nature to avoid them. I also had some sympathy for him leaving baby Emma since he was only 7, but for adult August to talk “Neal” into leaving and then setting Emma up for prison is way too harsh! He then took the 20K and split to Thailand?! WTH Pinocchio?! I hope Charming and/or “Neal” punches August in the jaw! I think the writers intentionally are making Pinocchio to be the one we place blame on, since they want to preserve “Neal’s” reputation as more sympathetic for leaving teenage Emma (especially since “Neal” IS Emma’s true love, Henry’s dad, and could be Baelfire).

I agree that if Mr. and Ms. Evil can be redeemed, so can a deceitful puppet. I hope he does something big to help get Emma and Snow White home again. We already saw August make good on his word to send a postcard to “Neal” once the curse was broken. He said he’d let Neal know once Emma had fulfilled her destiny. Mission accomplished.

And I also think Pinocchio and the BF are working together. Those cryptic tweets about August’s motivation for sending away Neal and wanting Emma in prison must be connecting to Henry coming to SB. I wonder if Mr. Gold knows how Henry came to be in Regina’s custody. Does he think that the savior’s child ended up in SB as a result of the curse?!
