I mean, Emma didn’t fully confess her love for Henry until he was lying there seemingly dead, but do we doubt that she loves Henry, just because it took that situation for her to admit it?
In both the mine scene and the portal scene, Emma didn’t have her composure to be able to keep her walls up, so some truth and longing leaked out. Now that she’s composed and conscious again, the walls are back up and she can’t say those same words again right now.
Dang, I didn’t go there after seeing the sneak peek. I’d like to think though, that if Neal was hoping to use Roland to lure the Shadow in, he’d have some sorta plan where he’s gonna step up again, like with the Darlings, but this time he can be all, “Remember me? You want me back, come get me.”
