The whole codename conversation was, in my opinion, just Henry saying he wanted to call Emma mom, but he didn’t think she was ready yet. I do think Emma has power though and that it is important.
Good point. I did notice the difference in reactions when Regina gave him the video game compared to Emma returning the book. He looked at her as if his Mom just gave him back his favorit toy. Emma’s return look was the first time she ever had a mom-like look to her. she does say mom things and it is mainly to MM. Emma took a few episodes to stop calling him kid on a regular basis and now calls him Henry mainly.
[adrotate group="5"]Yeah and Henry said something like i want to know what i should call you, so i really think that is what that scene was about. What Henry should call Emma because that is sort of a weird thing. Maybe he will call her mom before the end of the season.

That would be nice. What Henry says to Emma in that scene seems to point to mom but…it is purposely left so it can mean something else so the writers can say just in case…….I think. That was what I got out of it everytime I see it. Now that her being called mom also fits after having it pointed out, the scene was unusual.
Got your point now, charming!
I also thought the scene about the name was about Henry wanting to call her mom. Does he ever call Regina mom? Or at least “My mom …”? All I can recall is him mentioning her not being his mom.
Ever since I saw the new promo with that scene of Henry looking at a teary Emma, I've wondered if that could be the firt time he calls her mom. The time she tells him, she wants to leave town …@mia wrote:

The time she tells him, she wants to leave town …Yes and continuing with the point; he always refers to her as Emma. In any situation or reference. Perhaps that is the first step to cracking the curse? Remember now…….Snow and Charming never got to hear their child call them mommy and daddy. Emma is closer to calling MM mommy than Henry or even having a talk with David. Emma and Henry symbolically be correcting a past “mistake” let’s call it for a lack of a better term right now. She is becoming more of a mother to Henry from the first time she met Regina till now. First she said I have not intention of either taking him away or being a mother to him. Not exact words but that point was expressed. Now I cannot say that is the case anymore even though nothing really is said; its the actions Emma makes that speaks for themselves with respect to Henry that is.
Well Emma told Henry to call her Emma in the conversation we are talking about. He wanted to call her mom, but she said just call me Emma. It is usually other people that refer to Regina as his mother. Henry usually calls her like She or even the Evil Queen though i think he has said my mom before, but not to her. I don’t think we have heard him call her anything to her face.
And Emma did all but say in True North that she wants Henry. She said to Hansel and Gretel’s father that the only reason she doesn’t have Henry is because she has no choice when they were talking at the garage. It seems pretty clear to me after that episode that she wants custody and wants him away from Regina.
I agree. I just watched Desperate Souls and it’s in this episode that we see a first in Emma wanting to be something, to show Henry something. It’s when she realises that she wants to be in Henry’s life. That feeling only increased in the episodes up til now.
I must say, whatever anyone else thinks, Emma is one of the most interesting characters in the series. It’s the character that did the most growing until now (including MM, who also had a great transformation, coming slowly closer to the Snow we know). She did a lot of growing up and I think, whatever happens in the next episodes there’s more coming.
I totally agree mia. I have really liked Emma’s character growth this season. It is one of the reasons i like the real world parts so much.
Has anyone noticed; just on an aside not concerning Emma, that she and Henry at times acts like children together and the same with her and Mary Margaret. Henry and Mary Margaret; act as though they are grandparent and grandchildren except not quite because MM has not even accepted Emma as a daughter let alone Henry a grandchild. She wants more than Emma to treat Henry like ason than she’s willing to treat Emma as a daughter.
charming – do you mean that Emma and Henry act like children together?
I know that my opinion is not a favorite on this topic but that is part of what I struggle with in the whole “Emma will end up getting custody of Henry” scenario. While I do think that is obviously something that will somehow be addressed at some point – I wonder when and how because I do think that Emma and Henry act like kids together. BUT I think that has been done on purpose. I think they have made Regina the parent who adopted Henry as a baby and taken care of him but, as far as we have seen anyway, isn’t warm and fuzzy with him. Then we have Emma at the opposite extreme who is lots of fun to hang out with – the kind of person who would let you eat chocolate cake every morning for breakfast. She would love you like crazy and give you lots of hugs, but you might also be late for school every day and never have to wear a coat when it’s cold outside (although she would probably buy Henry a really cool leather coat).
I don’t see Emma being ready to be a parent yet – I believe she even said that in the pilot. Being concerned about Henry’s well-being, and being concerned that Regina isn’t the best parent doesn’t necessarily make her qualified to be a parent herself. At this point I think it would end up as some very bizarre situation where a woman who is raising her child is living with her mother – and her mother is the one who is really raising her son because she is the better parent. Only in our case the woman wouldn’t know she is living with her mother and the grandmother wouldn’t know she is really parenting her own grandson.
