Episode 2X11 Synopsis

[Phee]

From memory, the only pics of Smee are of him on a rooftop with Hook, and he’s holding what’s speculated to be Bae’s cloak. There were some comments in another thread that said that Rumple’s “scarf” in NYC looks like it could actually be Bae’s cloak. Who knows how it all fits together, but yes, we’ve seen Smee out and about in SB.

Belle and Mulan hunting demons together? COUNT. ME. IN. I’m glad the writers are going to show Belle’s tougher side. I love the idea of Belle holding a sword.

And as far as Mr. Gold’s “unwilling test subject,” I think it’ll probably be Smee. I’m pretty sure he’s still trapped in Mr. Gold’s basement. 😆

I agree Midnight. Loved that spunky side of her we saw in Skin Deep. She sacrificed herself so her kingdom would be spared from the Ogre Wars so I can totally see her chumming up to Muran. Both are fierce, loyal and selfless. Looking forward to it.

Just a little rambling here, but what if SB counted on outsiders, who brought supplies and other goods into town, losing their memories once they left town? That would have protected the town.

Possibly Ethan Embry was one of the individuals that procured things outside for SB. Gold lures him in to see if he if maintains his memories once crossing the line.

Most likely it’s Smee as I believe Ethan will be a storybook character (Merlin/Wizard of Oz/Peter Pan/etc.). I just wanted to throw the idea out there though.

the only problem is, they don’t forget what happened in SB, they forget about FTL

The past FTL part doesn’t sound interesting to me at all. I want to see them use both characters more, but at least right now without seeing it, it feels more like, “let’s just put those two together because they need more time” rather than it being something organic to the story.

The writer’s usually tie it into SB in some way… I am not worried… plus we have 11 more episodes till end of season. I think this will be great..

Recent spoiler shows Ethan, the stranger, having an auto accident and being taken to hospital. So I have to wonder if that implies that something bad happens to those who try to enter.

here is my theory on that, there is a massive patch of black ice/permafrost near that storybrook sign that causes everyone that is not aware of it to have a car accident. :ugeek:

there is just no way that storybrook is 100% self sufficient. random people have to come and go from time to time.

Yeah, I dunno whether or not that will ever actually be clarified on the show, but that’s how it works in my headcanon.

Possibly Ethan Embry was one of the individuals that procured things outside for SB. Gold lures him in to see if he if maintains his memories once crossing the line.

I think Ethan will be someone more significant than a random real worlder lured back into town. Didn’t they say that he’ll be recurring with the possibility of sticking around next season, or am I making that up? If so, he’s gotta be someone significant.

😆 Well that’s nowhere near as fun as a mysterious curse messing with people. 😛

Yes, here’s the information from the casting call.

The casting call described him as “a major recurring guest star role with an option for next season […]. A character named Barrett. He’s in his 30s, kind and smart, but also has a very dark side and has beliefs and a way of life that he will fight fiercely to defend.”

I also think that he’s not just some random person but most likely some kind of book character, or possibly just an outsider who visited the town several times before and knows that something isn’t right about it. I think it’s more likely the former though because if he’s just an outsider, I don’t know there’s much he could do besides threatening to tell everyone about Storybrooke but even then I don’t know if people in our world would actually believe him. He could be killed off easily too if they went that route, imo, unless he does turn out to be someone really important like in slurpeez’s theory, but if he’s a book character with some kind of dark powers, it’s a good way to have him become the next Big Bad or one of the next Big Bads for next season.

This season he appears innocent because he is laid up in the hospital possibly seeming like he’s on the verge of dying. I could even see him befriending people that have been connected to the hospital like Dr. Whale, Snow, Belle, and/or the Blue Fairy, and everyone believing that he’s a harmless regular guy until they reveal the twist.

lol, that would be pretty funny if that turned out to be the reason why there’s so many accidents the whole time near the Storybrooke’s border.
