Somewhat appropriate for the onset of the Yuletide season, “What child is this?” is one of the questions Regina will ponder this Sunday on Once Upon a Time (ABC, 8/7c), as we flash back to Storybrooke’s very early days and Mayor Mills’ growing desire to be a mom.
“This [storyline] started last year in ‘Welcome to Storybrooke,’ when Regina met Owen,” Once cocreator Eddy Kitsis notes. “We realized that when she cast the curse [that transported the Enchanted Forest’s denizens to Maine], it created a hole in her heart. The curse was not fulfilling for her. She needed something more, something real.” Spending time with uninvited Storybrooke guest Curt Flynn’s young son, “She realized that the love she was looking for was in a child.”
But can a wicked witch make for a mindful mom? (After all, baby Henry doesn’t look too content in the episodic photos that have circulated.) “Regina wasn’t always the Evil Queen,” series cocreator Adam Horowitz reminds. “There’s a woman inside of her with a heart, who has felt love and who has felt loss, and now she has a hole in her heart from casting this curse. How does she go about filling that hole? And can she do it with Henry?”
Kitsis says that another question to perhaps be raised, if only because the always resourceful Mr. Gold aka Rumplestiltskin has his manipulative mitts in the mix, is: “Does Regina realize who Henry’s [birth] mom is?”
All told — including as teased in this week’s Ask Ausiello column — “there are some twists and turns in the saga of how Regina adopted Henry,” Horowitz affirms. “A couple of ‘What ifs?” are posed.” And in visiting that defining, emotional juncture in Regina’s life, cast member Lana Parrilla “killed it,” Kitsis raves.
“One of the reasons we’re showing [this flashback] right now, in our 52nd episode or whatever, is to see in Neverland how far this woman has come,” Kitsis explains. “You see what she was like as a vengeful Evil Queen, and you see her now in present day as Henry’s mom.”
Speaking of Neverland: Henry is, as Miracle Max might put it, “mostly dead” — or as the Once bosses say, “in pretty rough shape” after donating his ticker to Peter Pan for misguided reasons. As the coming hour unspools, “The drive to get him back to himself is what’s fueling our folks on the island,” says Horowitz. But despite their boldest best efforts to right this horrible wrong, Kitsis must warn, “Peter Pan does not go down easy.”
Once Upon a Time’s fall finale airs Sunday, Dec. 15.

Looking forward to seeing the adoption storyline!

This line intrigued me. I hope when Regina first gets Henry she still has these Evil Queen moments to her. Like when he cries she cries or something like that.
Based on this article title, I thought it would be revealed that PP was behind Henry’s adoption. I still think he is, but that will probably come as the major reveal. I think the Darling brothers are the ones who transported baby Henry from Arizona to SB.

Absolutely. Our headcanon is totally right 🙂

Or Regina is a witch who has done wicked things…..
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well I am surprise that the Blue Fairy isn’t getting blamed for or involved in the adoption since most people think she is evil 🙂
Doesn’t anyone think it is odd that after 17 years latter after Greg left that Regina wanted a baby which is when Emma was 17 and had Henry? Was it added to the curse that Rumple knew that Emma would have a son and it is funny it took Regina 17 years to realize what she needed to fill the hole?
I also think Rumple was able to help get Henry, because he had taken Snow’s and David’s hair to create the lovecurse so I am sure that is how he kept track of Emma.

Rumple did not keep track of Emma because he was Mr. Gold and his memories did not awaken until he heard Emma say her name, a trigger in his mind to wake him up.
As for the 17 years, I think that will be explored. Adam has on Twitter before that if we keep watching we’ll see why it took so long in between YoungOwen and Henry.

We DID suspect she’d had something to do with the adoption, until Adam confirmed that she didn’t have her memories as Mother Superior. With no memories, there’s no way she was able to manipulate the adoption process in our world.
