Another parallel theme beside Roland and the Heart I noticed in this season, we had Swanfire family all take a leap of faith. Emma leaped off the ship, Neal leaped out of castle window onto a shadow, and Henry leaped off a cliff to fly. They all took a leap of faith, because family and home was driving them. We need Swanfire-Family in the yellow beetle!!!
We also have both Emma and Neal both try to take pan on right away to get Henry back.
Emma using Regina with the map & Neal distrust of his father.
They both used the words “Home” Emma mentions Home after seeing the stars and Neal says I got to get my family Home.
SwanfireFamily Feels!!! ^_^
Adding to this, Rumple said to Emma and Neal that they weren’t willing to do whatever it takes to defeat PP, and yet, both Emma and Neal have been making tough choices to get Henry back (e.g. using Roland to hitch a ride on the shadow in 3×3 and Emma telling Regina to take Devin’s heart to get a message to Henry in 3×5). Yet, when faced with killing lost boys, neither Emma nor Neal would cross that line. Emma saw the look of abandonment on a lost boy’s face in 3×2 which stayed her hand from killing him. Also, Neal told Rumple that they don’t kill children in 3×4. So, both parents are trying to get back their son by making difficult choices but not crossing the line of killing children.
Home is such a big thing for them. They were almost home, back in the day. Their time will come!
Yes, and we know the title for 3×11 is “Going Home” not just almost home, but actually going there! *hope for SF*
