I’ll be so pissed at Neal if he is actually pissed at Emma for giving up Henry. Sorry. No. A man who leaves a woman like that.. whether or not he knew about her being pregnant… has absolutely no right to judge her on the decisions she was forced to make alone.
[adrotate group="5"]I think it’s okay if he’s mad because, at this point, he doesn’t know she didn’t get the money. Logically, I could see him not understanding why she would give him up given her (and Neal’s) issues when it came to abandonment and as long as he thinks she got the money, Emma wouldn’t have much of an excuse to give up her kid. That’s not what happened of course, but Neal doesn’t know that yet.

Damn, I totally forgot about the money. True that, he would assume she would have had money to get them started.
As someone who does tend to sympathize and overlook a lot of the negatives against Neal, I do have to agree I’d be pissed with him being angry at Emma giving Henry up for adoption. Whatever his motives were, he removed himself from that situation. And, IMHO, probably made it impossible for Emma to track him down.
He probably is working under the assumption that as much as he’s messed up – his shady past at least gave Emma and Henry a jump start in a better life (watch money). So when it does come out that Henry wasn’t raised by Emma, that she never got the money and probably didn’t find herself in a situation where raising him was a possibility, I see his emotions delving more into self-hate, being reflective about how thing might have been. Of course, I’m expecting a scene with August about how he had ruined the possibility of this family unit – in multiple ways.
I guess I don’t see the function of having him angry at Emma over this, plotwise. Maybe, if he hadn’t seen the keychain and wasn’t likely to see the yellow bug – and because of this thought Emma threw Henry away because she wanted nothing of Bae in her life – here I could see his abandonment issues coming into play and have Neal act out – I’d still be pissed with him but it could create more tension then just a scene of him throwing a fit and Emma explaining to him her circumstances. Who knows, though! 😀
Wasn’t the actress playing Tamara on Walking Dead too? I thought I read that.

So, this may have already been said somewhere, but rewatching Tallahassee today I noticed something.
Emma asks Anton why he wears the petrified bean on his neck. He replies, “I wear it as a reminder. A reminder that you’re all killers.”
So I totally went crazy watching that in hindsight of Manhattan and Emma’s “to remind me never to trust you again” in reply to why she still wears the swan 🙂
Thought it was a cool Tallahassee/Manhattan tie in.Keeper Nealfire's/Bae's scarf, Henry and Neal's bribery ice cream sundae, Baelfire's sword, the coconut map, and more.
Aw, you fooled me. I thought you were starting a prayer circle because of the pictures today. I don't think SwanFire fans need one, but it doesn't hurt to do one just in case because with this show, sometimes I have to wonder what the writers are thinking like putting August on so heavily at the end of last season only to have him show up for about 10 minutes this season.
So who's with me for a prayer circle for Nealfire?
