Theory

I’ve been thinking about this for days and it makes a lot of sense. Prior to this episode, there’s “The Evil Queen” which means Regina will be back to 👿 😈 👿 😈 mode. I think that will cause Emma to make a desperate choice.

Storybrooke isn’t a safe place anymore for Henry and she makes a proposition to Hook (not that kind 😆 😆 ) to take Henry to Neverland so he’s safe from Regina.

Hook agrees as long as she comes with (to make sure nothing bad happens to him when he’s there, even though Hook would never hurt Henry). The Charming’s, especially daddy Charming is totally against it but Emma has to do what’s best for Henry, in order to keep him safe so she agrees to go with Hook and Henry to Neverland.

Except after they leave, the real world swoops in and all of the sudden, the media knows about Storybrooke and our characters left behind, have to fend for themselves. We meet “HER” finally (Not Tamara because she’s NY and Her is in PA), and Greg confronts Regina and threatens her with a deal: I expose this town if you don’t take me to my father.

Screen goes to black.

Dun, dun, dun !! 😆 😆 😮 😯

I don’t see this happening unless a lot changes. First, Emma could just take Henry out into the real world herself, or as she already suggested, have him go to NY with Neal. Second, Emma thinks of Gold as family, and does not trust Hook right now. Even if she is desperate to escape SB, I don’t think she would approach Hook as the way out.

So what could change to make that happen?
For starters, Hook could approach Emma. Especially if that happened after the real world was invading, so that escaping to NY was not an option. So if Hook came to her and said said “I’m giving up on vengeance, and going back to Neverland,” and she used her superpower to know he wasn’t lying, then maybe she might consider that an option. Or, if Emma found out that Rumpel had some nefarious plan (or thought she found out, but it was a misunderstanding) for Henry, what with the Seer’s prediction hanging over them. That could drive her to turn to Hook. Especially if Neal seemed to side with his father over the perceived threat.

But right now, Gold seems to be (grudgingly) standing by the Charmings, Henry and Emma. Plus I don’t see Emma leaving Snow when Snow is so distraught, again, unless something changes so that she has to choose between her mother and son’s welfare. Of course, Snow and Charming could go to, it’s not a tiny boat 😆

Since we don’t know what Greg (or Tamara) are up to, or how Gold might react to the Seer yet, I suppose it is possible that things could change. The writers do like to twist things around and have little surprises.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

I can see Hook offering his services to Emma in that scenario.

I think Snow will get out of her funk next episode and she'll be back to her old self
