Back in the episode where they showed Pinocchio leaving baby Emma in the orphanage I have wondered if maybe Pan had something to do with “Pied Pipering” Pinocchio and the other boys in the orphanage away to become became Lost Boys (kind of a twist on the traditional Pinocchio tale). This would have allowed enough time for Emma to grow up unprotected by anyone from the EF, allowed her and Bae to meet and get pregnant.
Do you know, this is an interesting theory 🙂 I’m wondering if the boys weren’t just unhappy though. Pan lured the boys away with music and I don’t believe Pinnochio heard any music – in fact he was reluctant to leave Emma.
I’m not sure that Pan actually “recruited” (for want of a better word) August though – if anyone did it was John and Michael I think. Pan is the puppeteer pulling all the strings from NL.
But I do believe that it was John and Michael that told August that Neal was Bae. That was a question that bugged me for a long time, and I think we have our answer. I think that John and Michael were keeping close tabs on both Neal and Emma and somehow maneuvered them into meeting. Adam has hinted before that we don’t know the whole story – and it’s been strongly implied that Pan allowed Bae to leave NL.
Adam has said that Neal didn’t send Emma to jail – but I can’t get my head around anything other than he was a willing accomplice to this plan. August knew about the watches, the train station, even the meeting place where Neal was supposed to reunite with Emma. August/John/Michael could not have known all these things through simple observation, even if they were watching Neal and Emma closely. At least, that makes logical sense to me.
I’m trying to keep an open mind, but it’s hard, especially with the dialogue we got between Neal and August afterwards.
- August says “we went over this” with regards to Emma being in jail, to me implying VERY strongly that it was a plan that BOTH of them were aware of
- Neal, even after saying that “it should be me in there” then says that “if I knows she’s okay, I could move on”. So to me that says that nothing even occurs to him to try and fix it – he certainly doesn’t try to hand himself over or anything
And then there’s the fact that when Emma says “you left me,,, and let me go to prison because Pinnochio told you to?” he. does. not. deny. it. He may not have made the call, but he allowed her to go to prison.
I don’t know, I just can’t wait to see the prison thing addressed once and for all. I’m fed up of some from the other side one minute saying “OMG Adam said that Neal didn’t play a part in her going to jail” and then the next minute saying the “OMG jail was necessary for her to change” etc.
UGH JAIL WAS 1 MILLION KINDS OF UNNECESSARY AND IT WAS THE REASON SHE GAVE UP HER SON AND I REALLY DESPISE NEAL AND AUGUST FOR IT SOMETIMES I REALLY DO
HE HURT MY BABY
Sorry…. getting myself all worked up lol.
