Episode title

[Ziera]

LOVE the title. haha, how fitting. I’m really hoping to see some of Mr. Gold’s character, and also again how he brought Henry to Regina. I would also like to see how Mary Margaret got the once upon a time book. Also, seeing Regina start to love henry would be a nice touch. 😉

I wonder if the plot of the episode is going to be Regina going from person to person, making sure they’ll all cursed. lol. Or maybe it’s a flashback over a long time. Like the first day, the first year, year 10 when she deicdes to get Henry, all leading up to notcing that Henry has run away, calling Graham over to her house and then enter Emma Swan in her yellow bug.

I’ve been wondering along these lines as well when I saw it was 1983…if it would be over a longer period of time and include Henry’s adoption or if this was just isolated at the very beginning of the curse.

Wait! Is this a SB flashback!? That would be so good, it’ll be so interesting to see them when they were younger. 🙂 I want to see Mr Gold, I want to find out his first name, it’s been bugging me for ages.

I’m a Blue Fairy theorist, (that she never lost her memory and that she, and possibly August, wrote the book), so I would love to see Mother Superior “donating” the book to Mary Margaret’s class. 🙂 That would be sweet. And cool seeing BF under cover, trying to put everything in place to break the curse. Carrying that burden all by her lonesome.

Keeper Nealfire's/Bae's scarf, Henry and Neal's bribery ice cream sundae, Baelfire's sword, the coconut map, and more.

So freaking excited for this ep! 😀

Looking at the eps leading up to it, we have…
Manhattan – Nealfire being found, which will include Henry meeting his father.
The Queen is Dead – Snow losing her mother.
Miller’s Daughter – Cora’s history most likely including Regina’s birth.
They’ll be rocking the parent/child theme pretty hardcore for a few eps there, so it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s all a build up to them showing how Regina got Henry.

Makes me wonder how the Owen/Ben father comforting son over loss of his mother fits into all this (it is this episode isn’t it?)..I mean they do like to do parallels.

I am very much on “Team Blue Fairy has known all along who she is and is secretly behind most things that happened in town” But I tend her see her as having an agenda, not just being a sweet little fairy.

That is a very good theory. Season 2 will answer most of the major questions that we’ve been asking since S1. Now, Eddy and Adam are throwing answers at us left and right. Since we’ll be learning answers in such a short span of time, I think they must planning to take the show in an entire new direction at the end of S2 and leading up to S3!

It’s been speculated on other threads that “Owen” could be a young Hook. Also, I wonder if “Owen” could be a young huntsman and Ben his father since Jamie Dornan is on set.

lol was on one of those threads…I lean more toward it being King George and Prince James myself but I was referring more to how they would work the parallel rather than who Owen and Ben might be. Flashbacks usually reflect what is going on in the present.

The Huntsman idea is interesting but I thought he was raised by wolves not his parents although that is a story I would like to see told.

Wonder if we’ll see YoungEmma giving up Henry in this ep? That could parallel to Owen losing his mother. If Owen ends up being James, then they could have the adopted son losing his mother in FTL and Regina adopting a son in SB. And because James was a blood relation to Henry, it keeps both storylines anchored by the one family.

Of course, if Owen is James, then Ben will be George, which should mean we’ll see him in SB. Now I’m back to wondering if somehow he’s Regina’s bio dad. Then they could tie it all together perfectly by having Regina bond with her son, while her father, who she may not even know is her father, struggles with not having ever been able to connect with his daughter. Meanwhile, we see FTL flashbacks to him being very close to his (secretly) adopted son.

Perhaps?
