I’m guessing she’ll wolf out in SB, because seriously, how could they resist showing us that?
The real thing I’m wondering about is if she can just automatically do it, or if she’ll have to tap into it somehow, like how Regina seemed to tap into and regain her powers after contact with Emma. In Red’s case, it’s not learned magic, or a curse that was put on her, her wolf was just part of her genetic makeup. So does that mean that she’s automatically got that ability back? Maybe she wouldn’t be expecting it, after seeing how Regina’s powers originally failed, so maybe it’ll catch everyone unawares when it happens.
[adrotate group="5"]Yep, I agree, and I love how that one little word can mean so many different things in this case. Was an inspired choice for this ep title.

Mother Superior had to have been aware of the curse in order to have had ‘that’ type of conversation with him (esp with the ‘while my body’ comment in there), or even if it was about Emma not believing- either way it appears Mother Superior has had her memories intact to some extent, if not from the very beginning then from at least when Emma arrived, so I’m thinking maybe if Rumple/Gold didn’t give MM the book, then the BF/Mother Superior would have.
Agreed. The conversation she had with August was just too shady and there HAD to have been a significance for it. I take it as proof that she knew what was up. If August was gonna go to someone in town who could help him with anything he needed to do, it stands to reason he’d have tracked down Blue Fairy. Even if he didn’t know she remembered, she was still someone powerful who had been his friend in FTL, and who still held a powerful position in SB, so it’d make sense if he went to her in desperation. If she had her memories, she would have been quick to reveal that to him, so they’d be able to work together. And they were clearly conspiring in that scene IMO.

I think it may have had to do with the Blue Fairy’s “preparations” she talked about in “The Stranger”.
For some reason, when I don’t know what’s going on I always blame the Blue Fairy. 😆
It’s a fair call to blame her IMO. She’s shifty, that one, and though she’s always on the “right” side, that doesn’t mean she always does “pure good”.
Based on the fact that it seems Cora will be in present day FTL, I think her presence will have something to do with the fact that part of the land was immune to the curse to a certain extent.

I don’t think Hook is in Storybrooke. I am pretty sure, at least it seems like, that a character is either in Storybrooke or in fairytale land present where Emma and Snow are. A character cannot, as of now, be in both locations at once. So if Cora and Hook are in fairytale land present then they are not in going to be in Storybrooke until they figure out how to return.
We haven’t had confirmation that Snow and Emma have returned by ep 8, have we? I think there was some speculation about when they’d be back, but buggered if I remember which ep that speculation was in relation to. We do know that Smee is in SB though, because he’s the one we’ve seen in a scene with Belle in an early ep. Would Smee be in SB without Hook being there too?

I’m not sure if this has been mentioned in any other thread however, I always wondered if Cora wasn’t Rumple’s missing wife. Think of the spin it would put on things. Bae & EQ being siblings. What if EQ was really Rumple’s and not Henry’s? What if Bae were really Hook’s and not Rumples?
That theory has popped up a couple of times, and it’s one of those theories where trying to figure out the logistics of it makes my head hurt. 😆 Taking this new info into consideration…Cora hanging out with Hook could well suggest that they have a history, and she could have been Rumple’s wife who ran off with Hook. However, there’s been a casting announced for Milha, who is believed to be Rumple’s wife, making it unlikely that she became Cora. Though I suppose they can only make Barbara Hershey look so young, so if they wanted to flash WAY back, they may need another actress. But then if YoungCora ran off with Hook, they would have been the same age then, and Barbara is older than Colin. That could potentially be explained away if he was living in Neverland where he didn’t age, and she somehow ended up back in FTL where she DID age, but she would have had to jump forward in time, because Rumple is centuries old, and though Cora is powerful, I don’t think she’s THAT kind of powerful, where she can live for centuries. And then there’s the miller’s daughter thing. The way it was mentioned made it sound like it was common knowledge who her parents were, which probably wouldn’t have been the case if she was born centuries ago and has since ducked back into FTL at some point after running away from Hook, who she’d run away with to Neverland. *headdesk*
I’m suspecting that the corner of FTL that wasn’t touched by the curse, was protected because Cora was there, and as the mother of the curse-caster, she could generate some sort of immunity to it, and she’s now the big bad who rules over it. Someone like Hook could possibly be seen as her equal in stature, and if he’s after Rumple, and she’s got her own beef/s with Rumple, she may see fit to team up with Hook, especially if he arrives from Neverland, and she’s looking for a way to jump between worlds as well, so she can go after Rumple and/or Regina.

Just saw this on another ONCE website…interesting 😉
“A major recurring guest star role with an option for next season is being cast, a character named Barrett. He’s in his 30s, kind and smart, but also has a very dark side and has beliefs and a way of life that he will fight fiercely to defend.”
http://oncenews.net/new-character-being-cast-for-episode-11/
I think this casting call sounds a lot like they’re looking for an adult Bae/maybe Henry’s father. Since it is for episode 11 my theory is that (like the cast has been saying) we’ll meet Henry’s father in episode 6-Tallahassee, but that we’ll only meet him in a flashback…that maybe we’ll only see what happened between them 10 years ago and then in a later episode we’ll see him come to Storybrooke (or something) as an adult.When I think “major” male recurring role, even into next season, it makes me think Bae or Henry’s dad. Can’t think of anyone else at this point in time who could be more “major.” Like the others said, if Jennifer will play her younger self in flashbacks, it’d stand to reason that Henry’s father would be played by the same actor in present day and flashbacks too. This makes me think that MRJ will be the baby daddy, and this casting call is for Bae, making them two different people. I’ve gone back and forth on the “are they one and the same” issue too many times to count, but that casting spoiler is swaying me back to thinking they’re two different people…for now at least.

That’s an interesting thought, Phee. Rumpel/Mr. Gold must’ve thought that with the curse broken, he’d be able to leave town and go looking for Bae. Maybe introducing magic to our world actually had unintended consequences that even the maestro, Rumpel, didn’t foresee of making people lose all memory of their past life.
All magic comes with a price, dearie. Dude shoulda listened to his own advice before bringing the magic back. 😉

I’m really looking forward to seeing how they manage 3 times with-in an episode.
That sums up in one sentence what I was trying to get at with all my ramblings. 😆 Would they go that route, because that could get really confusing really quickly, especially if they’re jumping between two different FTL timelines in one ep. When they’re just doing FTL and SB timelines in an ep, it’s easy to pick what’s happening when, coz the times look so different. But present day FTL and flashback FTL would look the same, so it could get hard to keep track of what’s happening when.
So wondering about if they’d go that route, got me wondering how all this Cora/Snow/Emma/YoungSnow/YoungRegina stuff could all be worked into the one ep, if Snow and Emma will in fact stay put in present day FTL and meet Cora there. It’d be less complicated if they just jumped back in time and were worked into the Cora/YoungRegina/YoungSnow stuff instead. That’s right, I just said that time travel would make things LESS confusing. 😕 😆

You know…maybe I’m warming up to the Frankenstein theory a bit…
If Regina used the magic portals in the hat to pull Dr. Frankenstein out of his world in hopes that he could bring Daniel back to life for her- I could buy that. It would give a reason for such an out of place character to be present. I’m not entirely on board, but at least I found a way that the theory would make sense!
That was my major sticking point too, I just couldn’t figure out how they could weave him into the story. But it’d make perfect sense if Regina enlists him in a desperate attempt to bring back Daniel.
