ParticipantCan I just say how much I love Schmacky! Always seems to make me feel better.
Just remember folks that even though Emma doesn’t remember her reunion with Neal and know why he left all those years ago, it won’t change the fact that the first time she sees him again (if she doesn’t remember by that point), she’ll realize (again) she never stopped loving him.

Emma, oblivious in her fake memories and what has transpired, still loves Neal.
She just doesn’t realize it yet.

This last one I didn’t include because there are curse words but it’s what I’ve been saying about how Neal feels about his father.

ParticipantI think it was all about wording. Regina didn’t say that history would rewrite itself or anything like that but that it would be AS IF the dark curse never happened, in that SB will NOW cease to exist.
So, curse actually happened, Emma actually met and fell in love with Neal, and Emma actually gave birth to Henry. She just doesn’t know the real whys or hows of how it all happened. Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I thought so, but just wanted to make sure.

YES! History will repeat itself! Despite Hook’s best attempts to woo Emma, she’ll always love Neal! That is why CS can only happen whenever Neal is not in the picture. No matter the obstacles, Neal and Emma will always find one another. But based on the new footage of the dreamcatcher, I’d say that Emma realizes very quickly that Neal is not just the loser who left her, but the love of her life who sacrificed his own happy ending for her and their son!

We get to see it again, and again, and again. “If two people are meant to be together, they’ll find a way,” said Mary Margaret in S1!

Keep it coming! We’ve got 80-odd days until we see SF on our TV screens again. We need all the cheer we can get! #HopeForSwanFire
Also, I just reread on Tumblr the parting words that Snow gave her daughter:
Snow: “Happy endings aren’t always what we think they will be. Look around you… You’ve touched the lives of everyone here.”
Emma: “But we’re family.”
Snow: “Yes, and we always will be. You gave us that. It’s time for you to believe in yourself, Emma. It’s time for you to find hope.”Remember Snow’s earlier words to Emma too about hope in 3×6. “Happy endings start with hope.” She also told Emma that life is full of happy moments in 3×10. In both instances, Snow White was speaking in reference to Neal. Emma’s hope starts with her believing in even the possibility of a happy ending. And then we had Rumple’s last words to his son of discovering happiness, just not with him. In other words, both Snow and Rumple’s parting words to their children was to hold onto hope, which is hope for finding a happy ending together! I wish someone talented with making GIFs could make one of Snow telling her daughter to hang onto hope on the one hand, and Rumple doing the same for Baelfire. Pretty please? Can someone on here make that happen? 😀
ETA: I found the GIFs, just from different sources:

KeymasterThe hug between Neal and Emma when they are saying goodbye wasn’t romantic. At least not in the “I’m so hot for you right now” way. But it was not just friendly either. There was depth and sadness and emotion, it was just everything. You could see on Emma’s face how sad and difficult it was to say goodbye and you could also see how much Neal leaned into it and relished every second he could. Who knows how long before he could hold her in his arms again. But he knows he will one day. This wasn’t a good-bye to him, it was a see you later.
Thinking back on the hug, I didn’t want it to be over the top. That wouldn’t have been natural at this point in the game. That would have felt out of left field. This is a “I trust you with our son and I WILL see you again” from Neal and a “I don’t know how to loose you again so WALLS UP” from Emma

I don’t know how to make gifs but I wonder if I can find those gifs you are talking about separately. I suppose I can try and look. 🙂
Edit: Oops! I see you found them. Nevermind. 🙂

I think that in that moment where Snow tells Emma that it’s time for her to leave them again, Emma, finally, understands why and how it was unavoidable that they had to send her through by herself and hope that she would find them again and have her best chance. The feels!

I was already a wreck by this point but when Snow kissed her forehead and Emma’s face when Snow removed her hands
GOD. I lost it. Utterly. Just sobbed and sobbed. And yes, Emma now know that sometimes it’s unavoidable. You have to do what is right even if it’s the wrong thing.
