I just remembered something- in the 1st S2 promo- didn’t Hook bust into a display case of Gold’s to retrieve his hook???? Wouldn’t that indicate Hook will be in SB at some point? Maybe this is a sign that they will indeed find away back to SB via Hook & his ship with Cora in tow no doubt

Yes, that’s what I think will happen! I think Hook (along with Cora, boo) will agree to take Emma and Snow White back to SB aboard his ship. I also think Hook is going to become one of Emma’s suitors this season. I just posted a long-ish theory in the thread for the 2×6 synopsis about how I think this could happen.

Could be Billy? Would make for some angsty deja vu if another guy who Red knows ends up dead, and she’s the main suspect. She’d probably believe she’d done it, given what happened with Peter.

Yes, I could see this easily happening, despite how sad it would be for Red to go through all those feelings of guilt again. It would be a very effective story-telling device though, since Adam and Eddy said in their most recent podcast that Red’s fairy-tale story will pick up from right where it left off in 1×16. Last we saw her, she’d just killed Peter and she and Snow White were on the run. We’ll likely see Red deal with her guilt as she meets fellow shape-shifters and the wizard who gave her her enchanted red cape. I think they’ll help her come to terms with her identity and help her learn to control her shape-shifting. I think this will parallel Red learning to control herself all over agin in SB now that magic is there. I wonder if we’ll see the good wizard who gave her the cloak in SB or if he is stranded in the EF. If that good wizard is in the EF, perhaps Belle will convince Rumplestiltskin to make Red a new enchanted cloak. There are pictures of Belle and Red together at Granny’s which suggests they’re becoming good friends.

Emma follows Captain Hook up a beanstalk in hope of finding a magical compass

Perhaps they have to steal the compass from the giant, but both are racing to be the first one to get it. I think they’ll eventually join forces and use the compass to navigate Hook’s ship back to SB.

Also, the way that “fellow thief” hint is worded makes me wonder exactly which thief wants to marry Emma: Jack/Baelfire or Captain Hook. Perhaps both propose to her at different points in history. While I like the theory about Jack being Baelfire and possibly proposing to a teenaged Emma, it could also be Captain Hook who makes a play for Emma in present-day EF. At first, he may try to romance her simply to get the compass. Even if he’s not serious about marrying Emma at this point, I think Hook will sincerely be besotted by Emma, will eventually purse her romantically and even travel back to SB with her.

There are a lot of good reasons to hope Henry’s biological dad is Baelfire. I think there’s a chance that Captain Hook is Baelfire’s biological dad, which could possibly make Captain Hook Henry’s actual grandfather. Then, to make matters even more complicated, if and when Bae comes to SB, I think both he and Captain Hook might pursue Emma, which would be very strange if they’re actually father and son (maybe unknowingly so).

Also, if Hook was Henry’s dad, if he could just travel between worlds, then it would be simple for him to leave whatever is left of the Magical Worlds and all the harsh conditions like the ogres coming back and whatnot since he doesn’t seem like the noble type that sticks around to help others but is more of a guy that is about having a good time at least based on the pictures from The Crocodile where it appears he laughs at Rumple in front of young Bae.

I think that Captain Hook has been stranded in the present day remanent of the Enchanted Forest for the past 28 years. The synopsis for 2×5 said that Emma and Snow White meet a survivor of the Ogre Wars, whom I hypothesized could be Captain Hook. There’s a clip in the S2 promo mash-up of a long-haried blonde woman with a burgundy-colored jacket sleeve holding a knife to Captain Hook’s throat. If Captain Hook has been stuck in the EF during the curse, it’d explain why he would be so anxious to scale a beanstalk to acquire a magic compass. Both he and Emma would be anxious to leave the Ogre-infested world for SB and they might be scrambling to lay their hands on the compass. I think Emma pulls a knife on Captain Hook at one point, because she wants the compass to go home. Captain Hook might be so taken with a feisty modern woman like Emma that he agrees offers Emma and Snow White passage on his ship back to SB using the magic compass to guide them.

Sadly, I think Cora will join them on their return voyage to SB. I think she and Hook are working together against a common enemy. Both Cora and Hook have the extra motivation to go to SB to get revenge against Rumpel for what he did to each of them.

Cora is a miller’s daughter, and Regina’s last name in SB is Mills. So, maybe Cora’s dad had a windmill.

I agree that Ruby likely isn’t the killer, although she probably will be able to phase into her wolf form. Neither do I think the murderer is Regina or Rumpel. If they’re smart, they’ll keep a low profile to avoid incurring any further than is already owed them. What if the killer is King George? The actor who plays him is supposed to be in this episode, and we know he’s not adverse to killing others. We already saw King George try to kill Prince Charming, and we’re about to see him try and kill Snow White and Charming’s mother in 2×3. Also, since King George is the district attorney of SB, he could try to point the evidence to Ruby, who is a known werewolf.

To make an honest woman out of someone means to propose marriage.

Phee wrote: Safe to assume that the “fellow thief” will be in Emma’s real world flashbacks? Played by MRJ? AKA Jack? AKA Bae?

That’s just what I was thinking. I think that “fellow thief” certainly could refer to Jack, who stole the golden-egg-laying hen from the giant in the original fairy-tale. Maybe he and Emma lived a life of crime as thieves in our world, which is how Emma got arrested as a teenager.

Also, the fact that he “wants to make an honest woman of her” makes me wonder if he knew about Emma’s pregnancy after all, which would lead him to propose to her. That’d be a twist if Emma just told Regina the father didn’t know about Henry. Maybe he does, and has been searching for Emma ever since, which is why she moved around a lot and gave up Henry–to protect him from his dad.

I also think it’s very interesting that Captain Hook and MRJ (hopefully Baelfire) are in the same episode. It’s gives me hope they’re father and son. If Milha had an ongoing extra-marrital affair while Rumpel was at war, I could see Hook as the true biological father of Baelfire.

Also, since we’re going to see Eion Bailey in this episode, I think we’re going to get confirmation that August and Baelfire know each other in our world. Also, I think we’re bound to see Geppetto and Pinocchio’s father-son reunion which might parallel a reunion between Henry Mills and his dad. (Maybe we’ll even see a reunion between Rumpel and Bae). 🙂

Jennifer Morrison gave an interesting spoiler for 2×3 about Snow and Lancelot.

In addition to making the acquaintance of the original Queen of Mean, Emma this Sunday will be introduced to no less than Lancelot. But as show bosses Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz previously scooped for us, the handsome former member of the Round Table is no stranger to Snow White. “Yeah, she definitely has a ‘friendship’ with him,” Jennifer Morrison told me. “It seems like maybe either he fought battles with Prince Charming or was in some other way was of a part of their kingdom and community, so they definitely have a friendship.”
Hmm, maybe Mary Margaret’s alter ego isn’t so snow white after all? (And no, the “We were cursed” excuse won’t fly this time.) http://tvfilmnews.com/new-once-upon-a-time-2×03-lady-of-the-lake-scoop-from-jennifer-morrison/

I really hope Emma and Snow keep a safe distance, although I have a nagging hunch that Cora and Hook may try to find a way back to SB using Emma and Snow. I really hope that isn’t the case, but the filming shots of Cora and Hook suggest to me that they’re working together. Both have reasons to hate Rumpel. After all, Rumple probably is responsible for Hook’s missing hand and he did convince Regina to push Cora through the looking glass and enact the dark curse. Both Cora and Hook seem to have been stranded in the Enchanted Forest. I have a horrible feeling that Cora and Hook might even have some darker connection, as Phee suggested above. If Cora is Milha, then who knows what will happen.

Also, based on those tweets, I wonder if Cora’s heartless victims are now zombies out for revenge against her. Yikes. I hope the “zombies” reference was just a joke. However, now that we’ll probably meet Dr. Frankenstein in 2×5, I wouldn’t put it past Eddy and Adam to bring zombies into the mix.

I really hope Emma doesn’t unknowingly give Cora back her magic, but it’s possible Cora never lost it, since she’s in FTL where magic has always existed (unless the curse affected magic there).

Phee wrote: So, what’s Cora doing in the pit, do we think? The only way she could be imprisoned is if she’s been somehow stripped of her powers. Or is she actually in charge of that whole settlement of people, and she’s down there purely to pose as a fellow prisoner to get info out of them?

Perhaps the pit has the same anti-magic properties as the jail which held Rumpel in the pilot, which prevent Cora from using magic.

Or is she actually in charge of that whole settlement of people, and she’s down there purely to pose as a fellow prisoner to get info out of them?

That’d be a very interesting twist!

Also, Cora seemed especially interested in how Emma and Snow White managed to return to the Enchanted Forest. It’s almost like Cora wants to go the opposite way back to SB. She probably has a huge grudge against Regina and Rumpel for what they did to her. 😕
