    I am confused of what that means. I see that while in the underworld, everyone seems to be playing a role of being a savior by helping the souls move on as they themselves seem to be solving their inner problems and move on. But after reading about Emma not coming to terms with the fact that her role as Savior is just beginning, I was confused. What does she have to do to come to her terms? And are they saying that everyone is doing their savior thing except her so far? And if she has not come to terms, do you think it might not be till the last episode or something?

    Her savior role is multifaceted. There’s the “breaking of the curse” part, which was fulfilled in S1. But her role as Savior is more cosmological than that. If breaking the curse was the micro portion, she still has to do the marco one. And, in good Savior/Hero terms, that means conquering/defeating the representation of Death.

    Which part do you not follow?

    Breaking the curse was just one part of Emma being the Savior. Emma has been walking down Monomyth Road for a long time (the Heroes Journey) and one of the biggest (maybe THE biggest) parts of that journey is defeating death/the representation of Death and Chaos. That’s how you know they are the hero. If Emma has to come to terms with her Savior role then she likely has to accept that she has to battle Death (Hades) and free the souls to move on.

    It was the last part I didn’t follow. And I thought come to terms means you have to accept things that are hard to accept by learning to move on.

    It does mean that. But consider this: would YOU like to be responsible for the trapped souls of every dead person in a hellscape?

    Emma has a singular goal right now: Hook. But suddenly realizing that she has a bigger (and grander) opportunity will likely call her to pause. It means she has to go up against a God. I’d find that hard to accept too.

    I wouldn’t want to be responsible for them to be in some kind of hell hole. The souls should go to a better place, that is what they are doing for them. I am only saying by doing so, she might have to do the same on her personal mission. I mean possibly if she does not let him go and have him move on, he might not be in peace for that either. Just like how Regina was to Daniel when he turned to dust after he was bought back in an unpleasant way.
