    I know this was Jmo’s last episode and she and Hook seemed to get closure, but is there more to their story they want to tell possibly? Hook told Regina,

    “If he knew what really happened, he’d drop everything and come back. She wants to let him get on with his life.”

    “What really happened”? That’s an odd way to speak about a pregnancy and why wouldn’t Emma want Henry to know he was going to have a half-brother? And she thinks he’d stop his life if he knew? Maybe it was just a badly written line and they were trying not to spoil the pregnancy “surprise,” but someone asked Adam on Twitter how this really explained Emma’s absence for the rest of the season and he responded that it would all make sense by the end of the season. He also said, “We’re fully aware that NOT seeing Emma needs to make sense logically given her character and who she is.” Is there more there?

    Girl, I said the same thing! When she first appeared, Emma looked healthy, happy, and glowing with life….but by the last time we see her, Emma looks like she just suffered a nervous breakdown, and has unfortunately looked like that for the last couple of seasons.

    It’s an incredibly stupid way to talk about pregnancy but I think it was written to make the pregnancy more surprising. It was just poorly worded and thought out.

    I agree. I thought for a second that Emma was dying with the way they were talking. She has looked like she is dying for seasons. It was a really bizarre way to talk about a pregnancy.

    I still think it is possible that Emma is dead. Though, she is gone from the story, so we can headcanon whatever we want about her character now.

    My headcanon is that Hook had turned Storybrooke into Gilead and Emma is probably fine with it.

    All the hush-hush about Emma’s pregnancy could be explained by health concerns. The pregnancy isn’t far along, and Emma is getting into her forties. If there’s a problem with Emma and the baby, Hook would certainly want to protect both of them, and couples tend not to make the big announcement until they’re sure that they’re out of the early danger zone.

    I don’t think the show will use this explanation now that Emma is out of the picture, but it’s what I’d think if it happened in real life.

    I agree. Miscarriages are more prevalent over 35, which Emma definitely is at this point, so portal traveling could have an effect on the fetus. The first 12 weeks are when the pregnancy is the most delicate.

    I agree that it is suspicious and odd. Do you have a link for the Twitter post that Adam wrote? I’d be curious to read it. Emma having a high-risk pregnancy would have made some sense about why she couldn’t come help Henry, but Emma appeared to be fine when she finally did show up. Sure, she looked a bit haggard next to Hook, but she has looked that way since season five. Emma wasn’t even showing which meant she could only have been in her first trimester. The only time doctors usually advise pregnant women not to travel by air is in their third trimester when they could deliver early. Emma not coming because Hook wanted her to rest could only have made sense if she were on bed rest and under doctor’s order not to travel, but the fact that she was able to travel and only in her first stage of pregnancy meant that Hook’s extreme precaution unfortunately came across a bit like Anakin Skywalker’s paranoia in Revenge of the Sith.

    I think the simple answer is there was a scheduling conflict. Jennifer could only film for certain days. Lana wasn’t even ever on set with her and they are supposedly in a scene together. I think they then had to create a reason why Emma wasn’t in the early scenes and why she didn’t just come along right away when the real reason is that she was only filming for a couple days and they decided to just not have her be in the first few scenes in the Enchanted Forest.

    I think they couldn’t figure out how to have Henry talk to Regina and how to have Hook wander off alone and have fake Hook come back if Emma had been there. The writers are just not very good and the scenes were choppy and the dialogue was bad.
