Great idea! I think that could very well be the case, and would make a lot of sense.

Nothing glaring or significant, just something like you suggested, that only Lost fans would bother to notice and get a kick out of. All this Tallahassee talk inspired me to take a trip down memory lane and google the Lost stuff that was connected to the place.
That’s so cool that it’s a Lost reference, which I wouldn’t have known otherwise. What exactly happened in Tallahassee on that show?
@Lil’Red. I am certainly in favor of moving on. Even though there was this unfortunate misunderstanding, I never meant anything unpleasant to come between us or to disrupt this otherwise happy time.
Just one more week until the best show on TV returns! Sooooo excited! 🙂

Tallahassee is a hellmouth. That is funny. Makes sense. Though maybe they are trying to turn it around and have it be somewhere good for Emma since she stayed there for two years.

It has been so long…
LOSTIES if I’m wrong or confusing cities, please correct me! I don’t wanna be feeding false information to anyone.
Mainly, I think this is where John Locke gets conned out of a kidney by his own father, then pushed out of a window… from the 8th floor of a building (also his father’s doing) leading to john to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
Kate Austin, was trying to get to Tallahassee when she finally got captured.
The interesting thing however is that the LOST episode “The Man From Tallahassee” happens in season 3 and the question it answered was one we had been asking since day 1 (how the heel did john became handicapped?)
So, Tallahassee, is a place mostly of hurt and pain but also a place for answer for the public.

Oh man, how to explain something Lost related in a nutshell to someone who didn’t watch the show. 😆
Kate has a link to Tallahassee. After she blew up the house with her father in it, her mother called the cops on her, and she tried to flee to Tallahassee, but was caught, but then escaped. That led to the Marshal, Edward Mars’ obsession with hunting her down, (he eventually caught her in Australia and was escorting her back to the US on the flight that crashed).
Kate has a link to Cassidy. Cassidy was a con artist who Kate helped out so she wouldn’t get busted, and in return, Cassidy helped Kate try to re-connect with her mother.
Cassidy has a link to Sawyer, (who mentions having been to Tallahassee once and getting an STD there). Sawyer was also a con artist, and after he attempted to con Cassidy, he instead ended up schooling her in con techniques and they worked together, but he eventually ended up taking her money and running, (she was pregnant with his child).
Sawyer had embarked on a life of being a conman after being scarred for life by an incident when he was a child, when he was still known by his real name, James. His mother had had an affair with a conman who called himself Sawyer, (which is why Sawyer also adopted that name), who screwed the family out of their money. Young James hid under the bed and watched as his father shot first his mother, and then himself. After that, James vowed to find this “Sawyer” and kill him. The conman’s real name was Anthony Cooper.
Anthony Cooper was “The Man From Tallahassee,” (that was an ep title), the show’s ultimate conman. He ended up on the Island, where Sawyer killed him, finally getting the revenge he’d been pursuing his whole life.
Anthony Cooper was the father of John Locke. Locke was regarded as “special” and grew up in the foster system (dun dun duuuunnnn, special kid growing up in the foster system, sound familiar?), but as an adult, reconnected with Anthony. But it turned out Anthony was only forming a relationship with him to con him because he needed a donor kidney. In a later storyline, Locke tried to stop Anthony from conning a woman by marrying her for her money. Anthony ended up pushing Locke out a window, the fall that resulted in him ending up in a wheelchair, (though after the crash, on the Island, Locke could miraculously walk again).
So basically, the man from Tallahassee was the root of why Locke and Sawyer were so messed up, emotionally and physically. Sawyer was the root of why Cassidy was messed up. And Cassidy also interacted with Kate, who had attempted to flee to Tallahassee to escape the cops, which set off a chain reaction that ended up with her landing on the Island. So bad stuff has its root in Tallahassee.
Did that make any sense? Lost stuff can be somewhat convoluted, (to say the very least). 😆 To read more about those characters, you can look them up on http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Excellent point! And it’s safe to say the pattern may repeat on Once.
Kate Austin, was trying to get to Tallahassee when she finally got captured.
This definitely could tie into Emma running away from whatever happened when she was 17. Tallahassee could have been her end goal, a place of hope. If anyone watched WEEDS, Tallahassee could have been to Emma what Pittsburg was to Shane – a refuge from chaos.
That being said, seems like her route was really derailed if she ended up giving birth in Arizona..but since she is kind of the ONCE Kate Austen it would make sense that everything kept going wrong and she had to change her plans.
If Tallahassee is a symbol of hurt and pain, but also answers – seems to back up the idea that Emma might have to deal with Henry’s dad in this episode. Fans will finally get answers, and everything will probably be an all out mess. 😀

urgh! I really hope Emma is nothing like Kate Austin, I could not stand that character. making one poor decision after the other blaming the entire world for her misfortune. Kate’s “i’m the world’s biggest victim” skit got old really fast.Agreed, I just meant in troubled past sort of thing. Emma is actually able to take responsibility and pretty selfless so far. Like Kate, Emma’s past seems ridden with one misfortune after another but, probably because Emma’s troubles started at birth and never seemed to get better, she never seemed to have expected more or seen her life as anyone else’s problem. Emma was able to actually become a fully functioning adult, Kate – not so much.
I don’t think Emma had Henry after she gave birth to him. We know she was in prison when she gave birth and Regina had adopted him when she was three weeks. I think after she gave Henry up she started traveling–she told Mary Margaret that she was looking for her parents. She may have traveled around trying to find them. She may have stayed in Tallahassee because she thought she found some sort of clue–perhaps she had grown close to some people along the way.
I think it is possible that she kept him if she got out of jail immediately because she gave birth which is possible and then she kept him for a few weeks and then gave him up. Regina said she didn’t adopt him until he was three weeks old. I think there isn’t much of a chance that happened, but i do think it would be pretty cool. Sometimes all you have is the backseat of a car. And Emma was arrested in Mass i think it was and Henry was given up in Phoenix. We just don’t know right now. I think it would be interesting if that ended up being true though.
