In regards to the JR theory, it looks like they DID film with it for the episode at least according to these old spoilers. No word if it was for EF or SB. If it was for SB, that would make it interesting if the JR isn’t actually gone for good…

[adrotate group="5"]This is a point that might be a bit touchy for a few people, but just had to address it. In my observance, headcanon investment can backfire big time if your making headcanons specifically based upon not wanting “so and so” plot point to happen, despite signs pointing in that direction. This was especially evident when the death spoiler of doom got out. So many things pointed towards the death being Neal, but people were making numerous headcanons that pointed the death to someone else or anything to make them feel like he was safe up until the night “Quiet Minds” aired. Even the promo was dismissed as “misdirection”, “you don’t give a death away in a promo”, etc. While I’m sure some Neal fans were prepared for the possibility, I got the impression that many were not just because they convinced themselves so well that he was safe. So there is that sensitive line between making theories/headcanons purely based on what we see from spoilers, and making theories/headcanons to suit our own fan wishes. Keep in mind I mean no ill will towards any Neal fans, nor was it my intention to come across as insulting. I’m sure had any of the other characters been a top suspect, their fans would have done the same. The death of a series regular is just that big of a deal. It’s only natural to want our favorites to be safe from harms way. Just using the most extreme example thus far to illustrate my point.
On the flipside, though, there have been times where this type of headcanon wins out in the end. In this case, a lot of us were worried that Leopold or Rumple was Zelena’s father based on spoilers, so we tried convincing ourselves otherwise. Â Thankfully he wasn’t, and it turned out to be a gardener pretending to be a prince. I felt pretty dang good after the fact. Still, you’re taking a big gamble believing in something one way or another, so it is advisable to be prepared for any outcome.
Still not sure about the “Hook sacrifices the JR to enact the curse” theory, just because Adam has said recently that someone’s heart is still sacrificed. I get the analogy that the JR is Hook’s love, but how do you take a heart from a ship? Especially if a ship probably doesn’t have a physical heart? And if you don’t need to a physical heart from the JR, what do you do burn it? Something’s off.
Anyway, as weird as it is, here’s one way I view it. Leopold mainly married Regina so Snow could have a new mother figure. As for his falling out with Cora in this episode, I would guess that Regina saving Snow’s life gave him a reason to somewhat forgive Cora and give her daughter a chance.
@HopeFloats019 @NatalieAbrams yes it does. Nothing tonight contradicts that ep
