I think it’s more likely that Greg Mendell’s an alias Owen Flynn’s using. Greg’s certainly playing bad Mulder with Storybrooke, I doubt he’d be using his real name as people might remember him from back then.
I bet he lost his father in Storybrooke in mysterious ways (AKA Regina crushed his heart, don’t ask me how that would happen in a magicless town, I have no idea) and he’s been trying to go back find out the truth ever since.
ETA: as far as the dynamite goes, I think the better question would be: what happened to the security procedures that comes with dealing with explosives? Any 11-year-old can grab them? Should we expect to see Henry wielding a submachine gun next? 🙄 😆

But the boy is so young, what did Regina do after she killed his father? She can’t just put him on a bus to Boston. And no one else can leave SB except her, so unless she left and took him to a orphanage, I think both Ben and “Owen” got out.

Well, it’s possible for “Greg” to be grown-up Owen, which would mean he (and maybe his dad) escaped from SB in 1983, and he has returned to investigate further.

Yeah, I know she can, but can she rip hearts out of the body in a magicless town? That’s what I wonder.

THIS. How does that kid even get a hold of dynamite?? Why isn’t someone watching him? LIke Momma Sheriff? Or Grandpapa Sheriff? Or Grandpa-Dark-One-Stiltskin? Or Papa??

I was thinking the same thing Bae wanted to spend time with him so where is he? How did Regina know where Henry was?

Oh Henry. Trying to fix the situation and then, it’s going to backfire on him (excuse the pun).

Yes, I think Greg has been looking for Storybrooke for a very long time. It’s so weird because I think Regina was his mother figure or she wanted to be, but what if she doesn’t recognize him and thinks he’s just Greg, and the writers start to pair them up romantically. (Ewww!!!)

Although RumplesGirl and slurpeez108 make great points about how it’s unlikely that Greg (Owen) was able to leave town without his father, but I think Regina looks very sinister in her Mayor’s office with the heart on her desk. I’m guessing it’s Graham’s heart and that either Greg or his father catch her with it. It’s possible though that she commands Graham to beat up possibly do more than that to Greg’s father since there’s that one scene of Regina speaking into the heart, and then the other scene of Graham beating Greg’s dad up. I don’t know how she would expect to keep custody of Greg even if she offed his dad, but it’s Regina so who knows what’s going on in her mind at the time. Maybe he runs away after she kills his dad, or he and his dad leave the town after seeing Regina with the glowing heart, which ends up breaking her heart because she had become attached to Greg. Either way, I think it leads to her wanting to adopt her own child like she wanted to with Hansel and Gretel; although, maybe because Henry was the only child, presumably, he was the only one that was able to be brought to Storybrooke or something like that.

I know!!! The bad part is I can already here the Regina apologists complaining about the Charmings and Nealfire being bad guardians. However, I’ll give them a break for now until I see how Henry got a hold of the dynamite.
March 12, 2013 at 1:41 am #179234pekadotParticipantHmm… perhaps Owen is Greg with his father. As for the memory thing, maybe something happened in Storybrooke (his father being killed?) that led to little Greg repressing the memory. Perhaps he was adopted by a new family or taken care of by his mother who discouraged his tellings of the weird town? Maybe he grew up with a nagging feeling in the back of his mind and was always somehow drawn to the place where he had lost his father? He may not remember Storybrooke completely now, if he is, indeed, Owen, but is still trying to make sense of all of the magic he’s seen? Not sure if this theory makes any sense at all, buuuut it’s just an idea. 😛
March 12, 2013 at 1:44 am #179236MatthewPaulModeratorOr, we’re all overthinking this and Owen really could be someone else entirely as I already pointed out! Would be interesting if he actually is a Young Greg, but we’ll have to wait till the episode airs for confirmation.
