Spoiler on Ben and Greg

If something happens to Kurt in SB then Owen would have to be taken an orphanage. Say, the same one in NJ where August was? What if Neal was there very briefly and met Owen before running away (I can’t see Neal staying in an orphanage for too long).

Neal’s fake birth-state is New Jersey, but we know this world wasn’t his first destination; his first port of call was Neverland. So Neal may never have even been in a foster system in this world. He may have traveled to NJ from Neverland and decided to stay and grow up, and became a thief on the streets of NYC to survive. He may have been in foster care for 4 years until he turned 18, but I kind of doubt it.

Little August and baby Emma came through the portal in ME and were placed in a foster home in Boston, MA. August, aged 7, then quickly ran away leaving behind baby Emma. August may have gone back into foster care if he were caught and placed in a different home. I doubt a 7-year-old form the EF could’ve survived undetected for very long in the US without being placed back into a kids’ home/orphanage or foster family. Yet, even if August were put into the foster system again, I think Neal would’ve already come of age and moved on with his life of thievery.

It’s possible that Owen and August were in a foster home together, since they were closer in age in 1983. I’m not sure.

Bah! I forgot that the orphanage for August and Emma was in Boston, not NJ.

Alright. In True North, when Regina wanted to send Hansel and Gretel out of SB to foster care, she was going to send them to Boston. Maybe the same things happens with Owen. After Kurt “disappears” she has to send Owen to the foster system in Boston, where he meets August, maybe even leaving with August and the other kids. Perhaps it’s possible August and Owen/Greg told each other stories: August about who he really was and Owen/Greg about what happened to him in SB.

EDIT: AND then Owen/Greg meets HER (Tamara) and tells her all about his adventures with the boy who claims to be Pinocchio. She encourages him to find the town again in order to find his father and he’s been doing that for sometime now, always failing because the curse was active. But Tamara’s motives aren’t exactly pure. Meanwhile, she somehow finds August and Bae the pics from Selfless, Brave, and True and makes Bae believe she loves him and they get engaged (all we know is that they’re engaged, no word on how long they’ve been together).

I might be reaching with Tamara. Because if she’s not FTL or from another world, then I think she’s got to be HER with a very malicious agenda.

Did she really intend for those kids to make it to Boston though? I was never convinced she even contacted anyone in Boston. I figured she just decided to send them over the town line and whatever horrible thing happened to them didn’t really matter, just as long as they were no longer around to cause problems.

If Regina takes Owen to an out of town foster facility, then she has to explain who she is, where she’s from, how she knows the kid, how she knows he’s an orphan…it just opens up too many questions and risks too much exposure for SB, so I’m not convinced she’d do anything like that.

An interesting comparison I’ve seen on another discussion forum: Kurt and Owen Flynn mirror Kevin and Sam Flynn from TRON:Legacy, as in they’re both father and son who entered a place they aren’t supposed to be. In fact, the actor who played young Sam in the film is named Owen.

This is probably the case, since both movie and TV series have Kitsis and Horowitz as writers.

I was just about to come on the board and post this Demileto. Completely agree with you. Definite nod to Tron and Kevin & Sam Flynn. Like them, Kurt and Owen are caught in SB, just as the curse brings everyone from the EF there.

K&H told us there’d be nods to Tron 😉 Funny how they connected the dots from Star Wars (Ben & Owen) now to Tron (with Kurt Flynn & Owen). They are soooo sneaky! 😆

Confirmed!
