"Back to the Future?" Did Henry write the book

[gypsy]

Interesting ideas about Jefferson! One question though…when he arrives in SB with his memories intact and confined to his house…how does he know the parts for the end of the book either?

Like I said, Regina probably told him. Reminiscing/bragging about the past. ‘The Boss’ says it best in ‘Glory Days’. And they referenced Bruce in ‘Welcome to Storybrooke’. It’s human nature. Jefferson had his memories, he was confined to his house, he’s the only one she actually talk to safely about her “Glory Days”.

Just thought of one little issue: the book showed the name Emma on the baby blanket…Regina didn’t know for sure that Emma was Snowing’s daughter though she put the pieces together later on.

She would have been WAY more suspicious if she knew that a date 28 years in the future a woman named Emma would show up and BAM there’s an Emma. I’m not sure she was really all that suspicious of the idea until Emma said it was her birthday and even then Regina’s been in a funky time loop for so long and was so sure she had already won that I’m not sure she was really worried about that date on the calendar some day anyways.

Yes, I think we need to look at every single picture and ask if Regina knew the circumstances of that picture.

So for instance the pic of young Snow touching the flower before Cora came into the room in The Stable Boy. Regina was not present for that conversation, only Snow and Cora. Now I suppose Cora could have told Jefferson while she was in WL.

What other pics have we seen?

I just thought of another one. In Lacey Emma is looking at a picture of Snow and Charming from the Pilot, where the two of them are standing by the window of their castle. Snow is very pregnant and it is before they have talked to Rumple in his cell.
Regina was not present for that moment and by that time Jefferson was already in WL.

Now I have no doubt that Regina has spies, but if she saw this conversation she would have known that the Charmings were going to go talk to Rumple.

I feel like every time we come up with a logical answer, something rules it out. Bah Humbug!

There’s still no way that anybody would have known about Emma going through the wardrobe unless Blue wrote it at the very last minute but how would that book have been brought over? (Granted why were any items that might remind anybody other than Regina of home brought over in the first place? Did Rumple have something to do with it, where his treasures would come through at least? And again, why the book?)

You would seriously think that with all the emphasis of Henry and his book from season 1 – especially the fact that the book helped MM wake up David, that Snow would have said SOMETHING about the book once the curse was broken. What gives Snow, what gives?

The fairies “final preparations” of The Stranger are still one of my big questions and I’ve thought that Blue could have magically written the final moments before the Curse. If Blue was holding the book right when the Curse hit, maybe it came with her to SB.

That’s the most plausible thing I’ve heard so far and I too question those “final preparations.” Seriously when are the Blue Fairy’s flashbacks going to be relevant to the present-day storyline so we can finally learn the answers??

We desperately need a Blue backstory. I’m hoping when we get it, we also get the Book story.

Yes, the “final preparations” are one of the mysteries that stiil need to be addressed.
Still doesn’t make me think Blue wrote the book, though.
Jefferson had a whole conversation with Emma about the importance of books.
Jefferson and August were the only two ppl in SB actively trying to make sure Emma believed. No one else in SB, besides Henry, was.
I think Jefferson is who August called and said “We have to excellerate the plan”.

I agree with everything you said, except the final point because I thought H and K confirmed that he was talking to Henry (I could be wrong…)
But going back to the pictures I and Kat pointed out, Jefferson and Regina were not present for those conversations/moments so we need to come up with a way to explain their existence in the book if Jefferson wrote it.
