    I can see that Slurpeez.  It may even be dramatic, because Snow drifting in and out is what triggers her to remember some key thing that is vital for everyone to know, but then —cliffhanger, she falls asleep again.  I don’t think she will be in real danger, but it creates tension to have one character know something the others do not and you then worry “if only she could just tell them!” .

    I’m wondering if the baby will be born and I’d like it to be a boy too, for no real reason other than  less like Emma 2.0.      Now should they name it after Graham?

    I think either way, Jafar is  going to get a nasty surprise.

    I still like the idea of the Jabberwocky, Jafar and someone else ending up in the bottles, but not sure who should be the third.

    Any other J names in this story?  Maybe the Sultan’s name starts with J 😛  (Yeah, I suggest “Jerk”, guy is a piece of work).

    I disagree with Cinders saying Snow has had happy endings already.  She really never has had more than a moment of happiness because always some big threat loomed over her.  She never had the chance to raise her daughter and now she’s pregnant, and it would be beyond heartbreaking for them not to show her having that second chance to raise her child. Just like, I think, it would be heartbreaking for other characters to be denied their second chance with their children.   It’s not enough to just have forgiveness, as Snow has with Emma for having given her up,  or Regina for having been a villain from Henry,  or Rumple for abandoning Neal, or Henry to all of his parents.   I want to see them build those relationships and when the show ends, have the idea that those relationships are strong and healthy–that’s a happy ending in my opinion.
    I have no idea what the writers think a happy ending will be though.  They’ve said the story is  about Regina, Rumple and Emma, but another time they said it was Emma and Henry’s fairytale, a show about FAMILY.   So all I can do is hope that  means the writers are on the same page I am, and that Snow has to be part of that Happy Ending!   Then again I feel that way about every character so I’m prepared for anything to happen because story can be driven in multiple ways.  That’s not to say I won’t detach from the show should they do somethings, but I’ll give them some time to tell their story before I judge that or not.
    All the same, I can’t see anything happening to Snow any more than I can see Snow drift-racing through town in a modified street car.   Though I’d love to see Snow in a car chase in David’s truck straight out of Tokyo Mater  (when she’s not pregnant of course!) :P.

    Maybe it is a portal to somewhere?   Wicked wants something and it may be more than just a simple matter of revenge.

    I think Snow doing a drift street race is more likely than them actually having her die, but they might worry us with a few scenes of her giving birth and fading in and out of consciousness.

    I was musing on something, which is, in the original version of the curse, it would break on Emma’s death, not just her TLK with her son.

    So if Zelena wanted to have the curse and make sure it wouldn’t break, wouldn’t she need to do MORE than keep Emma away?  In fact, it might even be the case she’d want to bring her to town so she could ensure she would never die so the curse would never break as that is what Regina planned to do with the apple story when Henry went under the sleeping curse.

    Of course Zelena might need some time to make preparations.

    Then I was wondering what if it is the act of Emma crossing the town line that reset the curse?  So far we don’t know how long the others had been back, so it is possible that the moment she drove across is the moment they woke up in various places with no memory of anything at all.   Snow and David might have just poofed into the loft, notice she’s pregnant then a second later there is Emma knocking at the door.

    I suppose we’ll find out if that could be or not soon as next week gets rolling because either they’ve had some time before she got there adjusting to being back, or this is literally the moment it happened.

    This is so wacky and unlikely, that I’m just putting it in here, because it does imply Hook is either complicit or has been tricked, and far from having done something good, he’s lured her into a trap.  It also is very strange to think Monkey Man wasn’t evil, because it did look like he was trying to kill Emma, but maybe not.  Maybe he was just desperate and trying to knock her out, and because she ducked, he fell and transformed, or his transformation spell only lasted while she didn’t believe in magic or something like that.  I don’t think it is likely but stranger things happen on this show.  Every time I think about how we’ve gone 180 on our “villains” I think, hey maybe we just don’t know the real motivation 😛

    So I guess I have just watched a lot of monster/fantasy  movies, but the general idea behind transformation curses is that those who turn ARE NOT in control of themselves.  If you look at Red’s story, you realize that was what she experienced.  She didn’t even KNOW she was the wolf.  Then when she did, she couldn’t think as herself when she became it, couldn’t stop it without the cloak, until after she met her mother’s pack.  It took effort on her part to conquer the beast.

    The monkeys don’t have to work exactly like the wolves, but sometimes there’s an “Alpha” who has control and can turn at will while the others are never more than mindless victims who don’t know what’s happened to them,until the Alpha dies.   In some stories, that ends the curse and everyone subordinate to the Alpha returns to normal.

    I guess it depends on how the writers approach it.  It’s not that I want Neal turned into a monkey per se, but if he is MIA, it is preferable to some other alternatives!   I don’t think it would be something he chose, nor would he be actively working with the Wicked as that would be quite a corruption of his character rather than a natural progression for him in my opinion.

    I hope this is not the case but it is possible that Neal was tricked by Wicked, and he helped her in someway to cast the curse or that he chose to but did not realize the price of doing so.  I think wherever he is, there is a story that needs to be told that differs from what happened to everyone else.   Also this definitely is a reverse curse reversed since there is whale and he should not have been in the ef, nor should Wicked have a reason for him–that we would guess right now unless there is more to his story too.  Wonder if they will imply Hatter is in town too though I doubt we would see him.   Wl is not done so kind of curious where that winds up!
