Yeah, I know but they did take it out. So either they want to rework that connection or they thought it was too much to throw at the audience in S1. But now we’re going to have to wait until Sebastian Stan is free (and I guess Eion Bailey who I thought wasn't going to be making any more appearances in OUaT after this upcoming Pinocchio story, but not it seems like he has to unless they are just going to have Jefferson explain it all with dialouge instead of showing us

I’m starting to wonder if we’re going to see SB at all post S2. Or at least in S3. If all our heroes have to make a quick escape because the outside world is coming to SB, then it’s possible that we won’t see the town at all because no one will be there (at least, none of our main cast).
I think our core cast, Regina, Snow/Charming, Emma, Rumple, Henry (plus Bae and Belle and Hook) are going to wind up in Neverland and a new adventure begins there, whether it be trying to get back to SB or trying to get to FTL and along the way they wind up in many different lands. It would be a great way to explore all those different realms and the fairy tales within them while they develop and evolve our main characters.

I think Gypsy is right. It’s very possible that NealFire Pan has been moving between not only Neverland and our world but Neverland and other worlds, like Wonderland. We know Jefferson was in Wonderland leading up to the Curse, so it’s possible that he met NealFire there. Also, they are both realm jumpers (we assume), so it’s also possible that Jefferson met Nealfire in another land before he gave up traveling.
At some point they’ve got to establish a August and Jefferson connection.
Adam and Eddy have said that we won’t know how August knew Neal was Bae this season, and that may have something to do with how busy Sebastian Stan is.
I still really want the Blue Fairy to be involved somehow.

Slurpeez makes a good point. If the whole cast goes to Neverland then the work is spread out and Jared won’t have to try and carry so many scenes next to Robert, who, let’s face it, is dang near perfection. I know Jared is very young and has a lot to learn but it is starting to tax the viewer with some of his scenes. The odd thing is, he was much better in S1.

With regards to the Henry/Rumple theory as a whole: I like it, except it’s almost far too reminiscent of Snow/Emma for the first half of S2. I really don’t like when they reuse story lines, and I don’t know if the general audience would either. I also think when you’ve got Cap’n Hook already on the show, let the man go to Neverland! He’s going to shine there and I think that will make a great many fans happy.

This is how I think the season will end: We will learn that young Owen of episode 16 is the grown up Greg who has been searching for the town of SB for a very long time because something happened to his father when they were passed through. He’s been aided this entire time by HER, who I think is Tamara who wants to get to SB herself for unknown reasons. She’s got this connection to Greg, but she also knows NealFire and maybe Pinocchio. Her intentions are not good. Seeing that the entire town is in danger, our heroes somehow speed up the growth of the beans and just as news vans are rolling into SB led by Tamara, they jump into the vortex and land in Neverland.

Ok, I think he is saying town. But there is something very strange about how Graham is reacting. Why would he be surprised to see outsiders? In his mind, SB is just like any other town. Only Regina should be concerned that there are other people in her town.

I got the impression Graham wasn’t concerned about the outsiders until Regina got concerned, and that poor boy is tied to her leash. I’d forgotten just how icky it is to see Regina use Graham in and out of the bedroom, against his will. 🙁

As happy as I am to see Graham, I almost wish they wouldn’t go back to this particular plot point. I think it’s not going to end well for the writers.

Interesting! So only Rumple and Henry go to Neverland? If Neal really doesn’t believe that Rumple has changed, having Rumple save Henry would certainly cause Neal to rethink that.

However, like Slurpeez said on the other thread with this theory: it would require Jared to be able to carry a great many more scenes than he is now. Not sure if that’s the best move on the writers part.

I want to know how she’s going to get to SB. And is she going to bring Hook? How much did NealFire tell her before he, Emma and Rumple took off for SB?

“Honey, I know this is going to sound strange but there’s a pirate locked in a closet, my father was stabbed by his hook and is dying and my ex-girlfriend, my son, and I need to get him to Maine via a pirate ship in order cure him with magic. Please water my plants.”

I think FTL/EF is much bigger than we know at present. There are several kingdoms like frumpybutsupersmart (great name btw) pointed out: Regina’s, George’s (now Snow/Charming’s), Mulan’s home, Belle and her father, Aurora’s, potentially Camelot, Cinderella’s, also maybe Agrabah (where the Genie was from..we don’t know if that’s an entirely separate land)

Yeah, given the intensity of last week there really needs to be some humor in this episode.

That’s interesting but I don’t think it’s the same day over and over. I think it’s the same year over and over, with some of the same moments being repeated, but iteration of the same year is slightly different. So while year one (from the sneak peak) after Snow gives the bird house speech, Regina shows up and takes her to see Charming, in the second iteration of that year, Regina does not show up. The reason Snow continues to give the same speech is because it’s what was planned that day for teaching and to her, the year is 1983 over and over. At least, that’s how I am understanding the curse from what Adam has tweeted recently.
