I think Emma was also weirded out by the situation. She was running on adrenalin before to save Henry, and now it’s worn off and the sheer weirdness of her situation is hitting her full force. A woman she thought was just her roomate/friend and the married man her roomate was having an affair with are now her parents and wanting to hug her and BE her parents and oh by the way, they’re the same age as her or younger. Huh.
I’d be stuck with a 😕 face for awhile, too.

Yeah it was so awkward! That was exactly what I was wanting all last season, they kind of hurdled over the whole one-night stand thing too. That first moment when they reunite even more than the subsequent talk did it for me Emma had this weird look on her meanwhile Snow and Charming are over come with emotion it was just a emotional, teary eyed ball of awkwardness.
I’m seriously surprised Emma handled it as well as she did. I mean within less than 24 hours she went from being ready to leave Storybrooke for her son’s well-being to him being poisoned, realizing the fairytale stuff and magic is real, talking to two classic characters (from her POV) about a quest for magic, watching a friend turn into wood, fight a dragon, get screwed over, her son died, came back to life, broke a curse, reunited with parents that are the same age and whom one was previously a roommate….. and she did all that without any sleep.
Gotta give the girl props and give her a pass if any of her “thinking” was “flawed.” lol

I agree with EVERYTHING you’ve said!
I think she was pushed into dealing with a MAJOR emotional situation ( we know she doesn’t deal with emotions very well at the best of times as well), so she reacted rather well for her 😉 & responded very well considering!
This is a trauma she’s had/carried for 28yrs- they all lived unhappy/cursed lives yes- but they had all the facts, Emma didnt!
By the sounds of it Emma lived a miserable, semi-abused life, pretty much devoid of love- (she was devastated that she was rejected at 3yrs when that family had their OWN baby- that leaves DEEP, DEEP scars on top of the whole- as MM put it- “why would anyone want to give me away” question).I guess I have a window into what Emma’s feeling here, as I have a close (& much older) friend who was adopted, she didn’t have the easiest of lives growing up, as who she was clashed with her parents (hard to explain), she knew later on that her Dad wanted her, but her Mother didnt- she hasnt found them & is VERY, VERY overly emotional about it all to this day – some 45yrs later.
She grew up in a very well off family, so what would I say to her, boy are you flawed in your thinking 🙄 Emotional trauma is just that traumatic!Its weird as I type this a NZ program on missing lives (adopted out/lost family members) is on & Man is that some emotional viewing, but Snow’s reaction has almost played out in front of me again! The women even said it was like time had stopped- there was her little boy & she just wanted to look at him & touch him – Boy did they hit Snow’s reaction bang on!
Some others couldn’t handled it & walked away, feeling deeply hurt, not better for meeting them.
Anyway, back to FTL/SB…..
So Emma wouldn’t have been thinking about ‘what ifs’ regarding the curse at all at that point, only the rush of emotions of not being with a loving family her ENTIRE life until that point, of not being loved or even cared about enough to be taken to a safe place, with no clue to who they were, just dumped on the side of the rd like rubbish, along with the hurt from being adopted then given back + what ever happened afterwards, then there’s everything that’s happened in SB including that day, on top of the weirdness of who her parents actually are & that whole situation entails- why it happened doesn’t make the Emotions from those events any less- but every single one of those emotions would have had come crashing down around her at that point & will be there for sometime! It’s a lot of deep hurt to let go of after all!
I cant say I’d be entirely understanding & self sacrificing right off the bat if I’d had Emma’s life growing up!The funny thing is that if she had been cursed along with the family, she would have been a baby for 28 years. And if they all really thought about it, the curse separated a lot of loved ones or put conflict between them, so she they still might not have been together.
It’s one of those questions you really can’t answer. I agree she really hasn’t had any time to think things through, and I do agree that there are some parallels between what they did to her and what she did to Henry, but at the same time i think she handled it better than I expected. I mean what was the first thing she did when Henry showed up? Hide in the bathroom. At least now she faced it head on and i’m impressed.
I don’t think Emma really knows the details about the curse either. No one other than Gold (and Regina?) knew what the curse was going to do before it happened. It could have turned everyone to stone forever as far as they knew.
Snow and Emma will have plenty of time to talk about it now while on the road. If you think about it, Emma really doesn’t know Snow at all. Mary Margaret was different in a lot of important ways. It’ll be interesting to see them bond when Snow has her badassitude intact. lol

You are completely right. I mean, I can’t have been the only one to catch Emma’s shocked face when MM went all badass on the wrathe with the lighter and spray can.

Oh, yeah, totally. She was like “Wha? Who is this person?!” She had a similar look on her face when her dad was talking with Whale.
She doesn’t know these people. And I think that makes it all more difficult and weird. They know her. Everybody in town knows her. But, she needs to get to know all these people all over again… because they’re not the same anymore. She’s at a disadvantage when it comes to her parents.
