    YAY! most of us were right! The two men known as  Keychain and Glasses are in the Darling Bros!

    How have they been kept alive? How did they get to NL? How did Wendy get to NL? What else have they been doing for PP?

    Loved it!

    I think someone said that Michael had a teddy bear keychain (I need to look for it on rewatch) and John said something about “following” orders which to me was a giveaway at the beginning of the episode for sure even though I was already pretty sure we were right anyway!

    Also – love that they pulled a reverse Peter Pan in this episode! Instead of Peter staying in NL and then visiting Wendy only to find out she had grown up and had a daughter, they had Wendy stay young and find meet Bae’s son! (They’re adorable together and I fully expect them to be very good friends once they get out of there since it’s become part of the mission to rescue Wendy and we know the Darlings are important to Neal so it’ll be such a sweet reunion for all of them! Wendy should be closeish to Henry’s age possibly and since we haven’t seen Pinocchio in forever, he could use a friend!)

    Yay for Henry trying to be the hero and rescue her (although um, could it have BEEN any more obvious it was setting him up? Henry! You’re smarter than that!)

    Yeah I was a tad disappointed in that. C’mon Henry! This was painfully obvious.

    If I was Henry I would have questioned more.  He does to some extinct but he does not have the inferencing skills that are needed to see through Wendy.  This is what irks me with Henry, he starts to suspect things but I guess this heart of his gets in the way of common sense.

    That’s probably really important actually. His heart rules his head. It’s a lot like Regina and Cora–they don’t think, they do.

    Hurray for the Darling clan! I loved seeing them again and can’t wait to get more of their backstory. I think the Darlings tried to save Bae but got stuck in NL.

    As smart as Henry was to figure out the curse and all, being the truest believer apparently has its downsides. He’ll believe anything PP tells him because, hey, it’s PP! And PP knows how to make Henry do things he wants. But as soon as I heard PP say the word “sacrifice” I just knew that was ominous and indicative of Henry sacrificing himself. *Sigh* Henry’s belief makes him so….gullible.

    I agree. I think that Wendy knew how to call the Shadow and used it to transport herself and her two brothers to NL to find and rescue Bae. Only they ended up being Pan’s minions.

    Random: how did Wendy know that Henry was Bae’s son? Did Peter tell her?

    Most likely. That or Wendy overheard them talking about Neal and then heard Neal yelling at Henry (in which he referred to himself as ‘dad’).

    I think that since PP told her what to basically say to Henry, I assume that he also told her that Henry was Bae’s son.  Poor Wendy, she just looked so emotionally drained.  She didn’t want to lie to Henry but she couldn’t stand up to Pan either.  Her lively spirit has been extinguished and I felt so bad for her.  I think Neal/Bae will be so sad to see her in this state.

    Can I just add that Wendy looks amazingly well-kempt for being a prisoner on the island for over a century? Her hair looks amazing. And just how does she go to the bathroom or bathe on an island full of hormone-ragging teenage boys, especially if she’s stuck in that cage? How does a girl like Wendy get any privacy?
