Archie the Therapist

[darcyfarrow]

Now that Archie has heard strange reports from three very different people, will he start to piece it all together? And if he does, will he act on his knowledge or stay silent to protect his patients ‘ confidentiality?

On a related note, when Gold says he thinks August wants to kill him, Argue advises him to talk to August–not, as would seem logical, to go to the sheriff. Is this bad counseling or does Archie know something he’s not letting on?

I’ve also wondered if Archie will start to believe Henry. Not only is he Henry’s therapist, but he’s also treating David, who is having flash-backs, and Mr. Gold, who needs someone to confide in. I think something big will have to happen for Archie to believe though. Even the mine collapse in episode 5 wasn’t enough to convince him. Nevertheless, Archie is becoming braver and speaking acting according to his conscience more. Perhaps an encounter with August (aka Pinocchio) will help Archie to remember FTL. When Archie said for Mr. Gold to chat with August, I doubt Archie realises who August really is. However, I think he’s just saying something useful to the plot development.

From the official promotional photos from episode 20, we see Emma chatting with Archie. At the very least, she is probably asking him about gaining custody over Henry. Also, here is a link for an interview that the actor who plays Archie gave: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/28/once-upon-a-time-scoop_n_1461535.html
