August is turning back!! Emma cant see?!

I understand that the episode was big and had a lot going on and a lot to discuss. However, what stuck in my mind after the episode is the fact that August/Pinocchio is turning back into wood but Emma can’t see it. It’s fasinating because when i saw that scene i thought “Oh now she’ll believe because now she will see his wooden leg.” I was shocked when she didn’t see it and i must shamefully add that i doubted that it was real too. Pinocchio said that she was in denial or something. I was wondering if Pinocchio was only mentaly feeling his transformation and it isn’t actually physically happening because there is no magic in our world or if Emma can’t see because something in her doesnt want to see. Could the magic that is in her be why she cant or wont see. What do you think?

I think it could go either way actually. I mean, we haven’t seen Archie Hopper feel the urge to hop around a lot, or attempt to fly. but I think, it’s more psychological on August’s part because he was saved from the curse. He ended up in the real world like Emma, so why would he transform back to being wood? Only because he lied and wasn’t being a good boy? I guess, maybe but I’m not entirely sold on that explanation.

I thought that at first too. That maybe August wasn’t really changing. That it was all in his head, but i don’t think so. What they said about Emma not wanting to believe i think is the answer here.
