Now that Emma and Henry are cursed to have no memories of Storybrooke or the Enchanted Forest, I’m wondering what Emma named her son. At the end of 3×11, we only heard Emma call him “kid.” I would expect the name Henry Mills no longer to exist, because that was the name he got when Regina adopted him. By contrast, Emma would probably have given him a different name and he would have the last name Swan now. I wonder what Henry’s new given name would be!

I actually think the dream catcher is in emmas apartment.. maybe this time around she kept it.. neal in her cursed state could have died or just left so she kept the dream catcher to keep the evil spirits away an only bring good moments to her and their sons life…
The reason I don’t think so is due the look of shock on Emma’s face when she sees the dreamcatcher. She looks amazed, dumbfounded and confused.

Also, general announcement: we’re getting a little lax in the spoiler stuff. Remember, stuff from promos, including images, are considered spoiler.
Will try to do better!
I am coming out of lurking, but I want to really talk about why it MUST be Neal. not because how the *look* together, but based on the story so far. it makes most sense that Emma and Bae should be together.
Welcome! I couldn’t agree more!
Here is some great SF fan-art from Tumblr!

What if apart from Hook getting Emma to Neal’s place (seeing the dream catcher etc) in order for her to believe him, he brings up that Neal is Henry’s father? How would anyone in the world know that except for Emma? That would be a sure way to get her to believe wouldn’t it?
Good point! You’re probably right in saying Emma thinks she is the only person in the world who knows that fact, since I doubt Henry’s birth certificate names his father. She doesn’t even think Neal knows about Henry. Hook saying that fact alone would be enough to catch Emma’s attention, but add the SF symbol of the dreamcatcher, and Emma will believe Neal sent Hook!
I also kind of hope that the minute everyone gets a handle on everything in the EF Neal is immediately off on some quest to try to get back to Emma and Henry (or is off on a quest with Belle to find Rumple, if they get a clue from somewhere that he’s not actually dead).
I have a feeling that is exactly what Neal is doing. He’s probably going to team up with Belle to save Rumple and/or work with the Charmings to defeat some new evil threat who is likely the Wicked Witch of the West!

More lovely SF gifs from Tumblr! Thanks MickStemp, since I think the credit goes to you!
Swanfire Parallels
Manhattan – Going Home – New York Serenade <—-seriously?! Even while cursed and with no help from Regina, she managed to choose Neal’s city as her home with their son. They have a song people. What if they end up having a daughter named Charlie? What if we get a Lost shout out with Belle taking note that Charlie is a lovely name?
Hi everyone! I’m new! Been lurking for a few weeks actually, but have a hole in my heart after “Going Home” that I just had to come out of hiding and commiserate with other SFers.
Welcome! You’ve come to the right place!

Glad you're anticipating March, @insidethetube ! I would expect some teases soon!

If the witch is the one locking Rapunzel in the tower,then I can believe she is wearing emeralds.
Maybe WWW is also a Mother Gothel type figure who locked up Rapunzel in a tower in the Emerald City. Hmmmmm!

It’s sort of an unavoidable consequence, given the situation they’ve set up now. This NewCurse sucks for SF because they’re separated and she doesn’t remember him, but it’s beneficial for SF because she’ll ultimately be able to understand him on a whole other level. Like, there’s really no way around it, she’s been in almost the exact same situation he was, so if she was still holding onto any sort of animosity over how he’d left her, after this experience, she’ll get it, and that animosity will evaporate, and they’ll bond over their shared experience, and it will bring them closer together.
I think that any anger Emma felt once is no longer directed at Neal but at fate for making her the savior in the first place. Fate brought and her and Neal together, but she had this nagging suspicion that she couldn’t lower her guard in 3×10 to meet Neal for lunch, because “something bad” was about to happen. When Emma recovers her true memories, she’ll know what it’s like to walk away form people she loves for the sake of someone else (i.e. Henry). She fully realizes that Neal has always loved her and never wanted to sacrifice their dream of Tallahassee, just as she still longs for that dream to become reality.
Ya know, with no Neal in NYC, if she does use their dreamcatcher in any way to restore her memories and help break the Curse, she’s gonna do that all on her own. She won’t even need him there in order to remember him, and the love she has for him. Which I think will make it more powerful, because he won’t be there to influence her, which means anything she remembers feeling for him, it’s gonna be completely her own decision. And then she gonna go find him again, and we’re gonna get the best reunion hug ever.
Make that a reunion kiss and I’ll be bowled over by joy! Also, I agree about Emma and the dreamcatcher, since it would be a powerful way to show that even when Hook shows up instead of Neal, Emma is inexplicably still drawn to Neal! Neal could send Hook in his place to lift Emma’s curse, and yet Emma still winds up thinking of Neal. That is why I say as long as Neal is in the picture, Emma would never really be content with anyone else.

RumplesGirl wrote: It is unavoidable and if the writers DO avoid it, I am going to be irate. It HAS to come up. Put aside shippy end-game-ness. This is a huge step in the character development of Emma. She is walking in Neal’s shoes. She has to be able to see that and then at least TALK to him about it.
I have hope that when Emma gets her real memories back, she will see Neal with new eyes. She’ll understand what it means to make a huge self-sacrifice for the sake of someone she loves. She was already beginning to do so in Neverland, as evidenced by her understanding he was a lost boy who gave up on hope, just as she did as a lost girl. She also told her parents that she was angry about the fact that she lost Neal the first time because she now realizes that he never stopped loving her either. She gets it!
Does this look like a woman who is “over Neal”? No! They have a very deep understanding of one another as no two other characters do or could. Yes, Emma is scared of opening herself up again to the idea of love, but she loves Neal! She is pissed that she didn’t get a second chance with him, and when she did see him again, she was scared to death she’d lose him a third time (which it turns out, she did)! Emma just needs a day off with Neal to talk about it. But have faith, their date at Granny’s was just delayed, not canceled! “This isn’t over!”
