Emma’s plan

[Slurpeez]

Emma can be so smart in some ways and so blind in others. While she obviously is aware now that Sidney is working for Regina and even taking the blame for her, Emma was silly enough to threaten to take custody of Henry away from Regina. Even though a custody battle has been hinted at since episode 5 when Archie threatened to testify against Regina, I would have hoped that Emma would be smart enough not to reveal that plan to Regina. During the entire murder investigation, she told Mary Margaret that the thing that gave them one up on Regina was that she didn’t know Emma knew. Why on earth would Emma suddenly change her tactic? Now that Regina knows exactly what Emma’s intentions are, it is only going to fuel a battle over Henry which could result in Henry getting hurt emotionally or otherwise. Even though Regina loves Henry, she won’t stop at playing dirty to get what she wants. She would destroy Emma even if doing so were to hurt Henry.

I think at this point the gloves are off. And it will hurt more knowing it is coming. It was a great scene.

Because that investigation is over. No longer a need for that tactic.

And I had the feeling that when Sydney came to Emma to tell his obvious lie to cover for Regina, right then and there is when Emma became angry and lashed out at Regina.

On the contrary. Henry would like nothing better than for Emma to take custody of him. And to see Emma fighting Regina for him. Henry believes Regina is the evil queen and also believes Emma is the savior. That fight is what Henry has been trying to instigate all along.

I agree but I think for Emma to actually get custody of Henry she’s gonna need to turn to Mr. Gold again for help. She was fed up at that point when Regina had Sydney take the fall I was glad to see her take a stand and actually call Henry her son.

I am not sure if Emma will work with Gold. Especially if she believes and August tells her not to trust him.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised when Emma told Regina straight to her face that she was going after Henry. Emma keeps losing to Regina because she always sees it coming. You don’t warn your enemy that you’re about to attack. You let them settle into a place of security and comfort, and then BOOM!!! Taken out.

I hope Emma rethinks her strategy, because she’s already given up her leverage.

I do agree that Emma was fed up and that’s what shot her off, but at the same time I feel like Emma knew Regina was taking it too far and perhaps by threatening her with Henry, she knew Regina would might take it down a notch. However, regina has dug herself a big enough hole that I’m not so sure she can’t get out of. I just hope the promo scenes really happen and aren’t like a dream or something.

And if Emma is going to try and get custody of Henry, Regina would have found out anyways. It isn’t like she can secretly get custody. And maybe since she told Regina, Regina will do something really stupid and get caught doing it. Emma trying to push her to do something and catching her seems like the best plan at the moment.

I was so excited to see Emma stand up to Regina, although I agree that I think it was a bad idea for Emma to express her intentions to her. The promo scenes, I think could also be a dream. It just seems they’re giving too much away with them.
