I have a thought…what if when Kathryn’s car broke down, she got out of the car and ended up lost in the woods and passed the border of Storybrooke on foot, but instead of killing her as predicted, it actually caused her to become Abigail again with no memory of being Kathryn…so now she is lost *and* confused about what on earth happened to her. She wanders back into Storybrooke and is terrified by the cars because there are no cars in fairytale land.
This is purely speculation- I might be totally off base. I just thought it was a fun idea.
That IS a fun idea! Would be cool if she’s all scared and confused and not knowing where she is, then she spots the gym teacher and runs up to him, calling him Frederick. 😮
Guess she’d also start calling David, James. And if so, would he be able to realise that her mental state is the same reason he’s been so confused and start to put pieces together? Or would that be too much of a leap for him to make? How much does he even know about Henry’s book and how he thinks they’re fairytale characters? Don’t recall off the top of my head that we’ve ever seen Mary or Emma mention it to him.
Surely Emma would have to take on board anything Abigail/Kathryn would say if she’s insisting she’s a fairytale character.
[adrotate group="5"]So even though the story itself is different, one key point remains the same: knowing his name is the key.
Thanks for translating it, Mia. 🙂
All I know for sure about that book is that whenever the show finally ends, and all the stories in it have been told, if they publish a replica of it, that baby will sell like hotcakes.
Seriously though, if their names are in there, then that’d be a dead giveaway. Evil Queen and Mad Hatter can’t have been called those names in the book if the stories before they assumed those personas are in the book, which they obviously are because we’ve seen pics of Jefferson and his daughter, and of young Snow.
If the book is meant to be a tool for Emma to believe, then it wouldn’t really make sense for there to be fake names in there. But if the name Jefferson IS in there, then Emma’s more stubborn than we thought, coz she’s seen: Mad Hatter’s story, pics of him and his daughter that resemble Storybrooke people, his name (which isn’t exactly common), AND she got a look at his lovely neck scar too. Conclusive evidence much? Not all of that can be explained away as coincidence.
Kinda like the idea of the book itself being magical, but I think if the book were able to course correct and re-write itself, then August wouldn’t have had to do anything to it. And it also wouldn’t work with my theory that there’s no NEW magic in Storybrooke, only existing, stored magic that transfered over, like Graham’s heart. Unless the book came from FTL, and not from our world, so any magic in it originally could still be there. Hmmmm.

sending a kid through is stupid when the thing was built to take a preggers adult-
Was it really though? Honestly, it woulda been a TIGHT squeeze for 9 months pregnant Snow to fit in that thing. Which makes me think that she was never actually meant to go in it. I think Blue Fairy somehow knew that Emma would be born at exactly the right moment to go into that tree without her mother.
Snow and Charming were kissing right when she went into labor. Maybe something in that particular kiss was a trigger that ensured Emma was born exactly when she was supposed to be? If true love’s kiss can break a curse, and if EQ’s curse was about to hit, and Emma had to be born before it hit to guarantee her safe escape, I’d buy it that that particular kiss was a link in the chain reaction that’s been playing out from before that moment and ever since, link by link governing Emma’s life, turning her into the person she’s become, and eventually bringing her to Storybrooke.
I’m not a huge fan of the theory where Pinocchio was turned back into wood to transport him, because as you say Surayya, the tree didn’t actually GO anywhere, so him being in the physical form of wood from that tree wouldn’t be any advantage as far as I can tell.
I just went back to watch the scene where Blue Fairy is telling them about the tree…
“The tree is enchanted. If fashioned into a vessel, it can ward off any curse.”
She didn’t specify, “This one time only, it’ll work if it’s fashioned into a wardrobe.”
The word “vessel” can mean several things, including:
“a person regarded as an agent or vehicle for some purpose or quality: she was the vessel of the Lord“
PuppetPinocchio’s body could be considered a vessel for his human spirit which came later. So maybe he was already protected from this curse, by virtue of being made from that particular tree.Note that Blue Fairy didn’t even actually say that the tree would transport the “one” to another world, just that it would “ward off any curse” and “it can protect only one”. Maybe the transportation to our world actually had nothing to do with the tree itself, but rather was an additional spell that Blue Fairy had to enact. If that were the case, she could have done the same spell for Pinocchio, who already had protection from the curse because his body was originally a vessel made from the tree.
Or Blue Fairy was straight up lyin’ to them all and it could in fact protect more than one, it’s just that not all of them were destined to be saved at that point in time, because things had to work themselves out in due course.
Either way, I believe they can quite easily get around the transportation issues without having to retcon anything.
Just saw Maleficent listed for this ep when I was poking around imdb. Would have thought she’d be in the previous ep. Wonder how they’ll work her into this one. Hmmmmm.

Who is running behind Regina in the last scene???
Think it’s Charming. Looks like she’s just been in the cell with him, taunting him, probably telling him all about how she’s gonna go kill Snow, so he starts to run at her as she’s leaving and the cell door slams shut in his face.

Looks like Charming isn’t as bright as David (since it looks like the Evil Queen locks him up) and she has the apple to kill Snow White.
That would have been King George’s jail cell he was in. Unless George hands him over to Regina and she’s got cells at her castle too. Either way though, it seems we’re gonna find out how George and Regina knew each other in FTL.
