“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?
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.
Since you asked for the link, here they are, just in case you didn’t get it:
If you watch the whole season it should be clear

We're fully aware that NOT seeing Emma needs to make sense logically given her character and who she is.

Sorry for the late posting.
[adrotate group="5"]Do they though? I think they don’t understand anything about their story or their world building or any emotional impact of relationships or just anything about what is going on in writing realistic character reactions to events.
Emma would have never left Henry in the first place, yet she did because the actor wanted off the show, so they don’t understand anything.
I have to agree that the writers don’t understand at all. They needed to get rid of Emma because JM wanted to leave, but in order for the story to make sense they had to have a reason that made sense and just putting a bun in her oven doesn’t work. For one thing it’s only 9 months give or take a few more that this could even reasonably be used as an excuse and even with this wonky impossible timeline I don’t see how Emma is still pregnant during any of the HH story because given Henry’s age she should be in her 50’s by now and the new hook baby should be at least older than Lucy…right?
Come on the Emma we knew would absolutely have been there for Henry if she possibly could.
The timeline really is a complete mess. There is nothing they can do to make sense of it. It just doesn’t make sense and I just try not to think about it. Even if they did some sort of time travel thing, Robyn’s age still makes no sense and Regina’s lack of aging makes no sense.
Because of these photos of the Swan bug coming soon in later eps, this might shown and tell us what really happened to Emma. And most likely Regina would tell Henry or Lucy. Even though we will not meet Jennifer for that, we could still be hinted what really happened as Regina and Hook said and hinted.
I am not convinced that the bug means anything. I think they have made a mess of their show. Those characters are gone. It is completely unfixable, so they should just not mention it again. I don’t mind seeing the bug again, but there should be no further attempt to help fix the reason that those characters aren’t there.

Not seeing Jen in this set does not mean the scene will not reveal or hint what really happened to her. And the fact is, this can further attempt to help fox the reason she is not there. And that already happened on Belle so far, and now the same sort of thing happened on Zelena somewhat.
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?

That seems to clue us that Emma may have never been pregnant and that that is not really her we saw. And after all, she did not come through through the portal with the two.
