She’s sitting in such an odd position, not location wise but in how she’s sitting there. She’s almost in like a fetal position while Neal is talking to Wendy and I can’t help wondering what all she’s found out by this point because it sure looks to me like she may have found out what Neal did for the Darlings and isn’t sure how to process it. The worried look that Snow gave Emma at one point also made me wonder about her state at this point. JMo did say that Emma was going to be relearning her past and at this point in the show, I bet she’s found out what Neal did for the only family he ever knew after being abandoned and is going to be conflicted on how to process it. His time in Neverland came from him giving himself up to the Shadow instead of letting it take her brothers and Emma all ready knows that he was gone for a long time and lost hope while he was stuck there. That’s a lot to take in about a man you always thought the worst about and hopefully it cracks a down one of her walls for them to really talk about things soon. I’m hoping anyway.
Yes, good point. Emma seems to be taking a lot in. Not only does she realize Neal is a hero to Wendy, but she’s realizing now what PP truly wants to do with her and Neal’s son: trade Henry’s life for PP’s own immortality. Emma is being hit with a lot all at once. She’s going to need Neal’s strength and steadfastness to help save their son, together, which he’ll lend her.
I was just listening to “I Choose You” by Sara Bareilles, whose lyrics make me daydream about Neal and Emma one day resolving their misconception about each other and choosing to work past their past mistakes to choose one another anew.
