Also, do you have the mirrors down? When Jefferson comes in there is a hall of mirrors, and in one episode the Queen walked down that same hall and the genie appeared in each one as she walked asking her what she had found out.
I ws reading the front page quickly. Maybe I missed it.
Hey mia,
You know, I keep thinking about the stuffed bear in Rumpel’s castle and since SW and Rose Red (RR) came up again in the book this episode, am wondering if the bear might be a nod to that story where the Prince stepped out of the bearskin when the dwarf died. It would be just like Rumpel to go collect it:)I also can’t help but wonder if we will see Rumpelstiltskin with Jefferson’s hat at some point:)
So I’m thinking last night after listening to the podcast about the summary given for this episode:
“Hat Trick” – While searching for a missing Mary Margaret, Emma is kidnapped by a man whose affinity for hats has him teetering on the edge of madness. Meanwhile, viewers will be transported outside of the fairytale land that was for the first time when the Evil Queen persuades a skillful man of magic to come work for her one last time and travel to Wonderland in order to help steal something from the Queen of Hearts,
Two things stand out in this episode summary — Jefferson is called a skillful man of magic and the Queen persuades him to work for her one last time.
The working for her one last time lends credence to her having know him previously, and him having worked for her other times. I think she says to him when confronting him at his home “this one last thing” when she hands him the paper to read.
She also comments on his position in life now, asking how he can live there, making me think he once had a lot more and had been used to a much richer kind of life, if you will.
The summary also states he is a skillful man of magic, not that he is a man with a magic hat.So I am wondering if there is more to Jefferson than we know?
What I thought of last night was who would have magic and be in a position of wealth? Perhaps a court magician. Which then made me think of Merlin, which then made me think of Wart, who was the magicians apprentice in Sword in the Stone, which then made me think of Mickey Mouse as the magician’s apprentice in Fantasia. So then I thought, what if Jefferson was a magician’s apprentice with great promise, who worked for Regina at one time, but who had something go terribly wrong and “lost” his wife, and so he gave up magic?
That’s where my train of thought took me, so wanted to get it down before I forget. Choo! Choo!
I think they talked about how in old books many times the picture didn’t relate to the story it was next to necessarily.
@DanielJ Lewis— hadn’t put those two together yet. What a strange idea, and yet that might expain how she knows Jefferson.
I have to agree with malchore. Regina tried using the heart of her prize steed to enact the curse and had to go back to Rumpel to find out what went wrong. I don’t think she retrieved her father from Wonderland for that reason — she didn’t know. I really think she loved him, otherwise she wouldn’t have figured out he was the thing she loved most in Ep 2.
If you go by Disney there is England where Sword in the Stone and Robinhood take Place. There is France where the Hunchback of Notre Dame took place, and Mt. Olympus — Hercules and the Emporer’s New Groove was the Incan Empire alost called the Empire of the Sun.
I got the screen shots but they don’t seem to want to upload to my web album. I will have to work on it. The one good shot I could get of a picture behind Jefferson in the doorway is definitely Alice. I have a picture of the horse spinny thing too. That’s kind of interesting.
Thanks for your help. I will keep working at it. It will be a good thing for me to learn:)
