RG– I’m feeling the same way now too.
There’s a lot building one way but a lot building the other way too.
NYC, home theme, Charley’s girl, and now those screencaps? I think Neal is kind of what breaks the curse for Emma, well not just him but a talisman related to him + that potion. It won’t be clear it isn’t just the potion though, but she won’t be convinced to drink it until something to do with Neal comes up. I don’t think its going to be just Hook showing up and staring at her that is going to do the trick. She will need more, as she should. Oh and I forgot, she’s “once again” a bail-bonds-person. Bael’s bond person remember? Shippy it may be, but with all the ship spin the other way right now, why not. Flicker of hope is growing a touch brighter, just a touch, but it is.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
