It occurs to me that Henry might know Sydney could never betray Regina, either from what he’s known of the guy’s relationship with his mom all his life or what he read in the book. But now he can’t tell Emma! So I do hope she’ll figure it out herself soon, if she hasn’t already.
Why wouldn’t Henry tell Emma if he thought that Sidney was double-crossing Emma?
[adrotate group="5"]I had a discussion last night with my boyfriend about this thread and he brought up the classification system used in Dungeons and Dragsons (& I guess other MMO games) that could be applied to characters on OUAT.
for example:
Rumple would be chaotic evil –
Chaotic Evil is referred to as the “Destroyer” or “Demonic” alignment. Characters of this alignment tend to have no respect for rules, other people’s lives, or anything but their own desires, which are typically selfish and cruel. They set a high value on personal freedom, but do not have any regard for the lives or freedom of other people. They do not work well in groups, as they resent being given orders, and usually behave themselves only out of fear of punishment.
It is not compulsory for a Chaotic Evil character to be constantly performing sadistic acts just for the sake of being evil, or constantly disobeying orders just for the sake of causing chaos. They do however enjoy the suffering of others, and view honor and self-discipline as weaknesses.
While Mr. Gold would be considered be Neutral Evil –
Neutral Evil is called the “Malefactor” alignment. Characters of this alignment are typically selfish and have no qualms about turning on their allies-of-the-moment. They have no compunctions about harming others to get what they want, but neither will they go out of their way to cause carnage or mayhem when they see no direct benefit to it. They abide by laws for only as long as it is convenient for them. A villain of this alignment can be more dangerous than either Lawful or Chaotic Evil characters, since he is neither bound by any sort of honor or tradition nor disorganized and pointlessly violent.
but Mr. Gold could also be Lawful Evil.

I think Rumple/Gold is self serving. I think he has a plan and puts everything into motion to achieve want HE wants. He is a complex character. I wonder if we will see Mr. Gold as sort of a “redemption” story?
I would love it if we get to see some kind of redemption story for Rumple, it would make his character more complex.
Also, we saw him slaughter the guards but we didn’t see what happened after that. Like, did he kill Baelfire to keep him possibly running away? We don’t know. I would say if he did kill Baelfire, then yes, he would be evil.

I think the episode is called “What Happened to Frederick” and not “Whatever Happened to Frederick” sort of like What Kate Did.
that’s a direct reference to Midas’ warning to one of his guard before removing his glove in “The Shepherd.” the tone of Midas’ voice implied that whoever Frederick is, he isn’t some random guy. otherwise he wouldn’t have sounded so “cautious.”
Henry: Wait. Stepmom, stepsisters, and she’s a maid?
Emma: Henry, not now.I wish we got to meet Ella’s stepmom and step sisters in Storybrooke.
The only thing I can say about why Emma so readily agreed to help Sidney is that Emma was so blinded by getting back at Regina that she didn’t see through his lies. (But she wasn’t the only one fooled, everyone in on that counsel meeting immediately approved once Regina revealed that she was building a playground for the kids. What a wishy-washy bunch!)
You make a good point about the building of the playground. It makes no sense that it would be built that quickly and bypassing all safety procedures…Emma should have had her arrested for that. Not to mention at the beginning of the episode, Regina chastised her for allowing Henry to play at the playground castle while it was in disrepair because of the storm.
It is very curious that Regina would need that much land just to build a tiny playground out in the woods, of all places.
