Actually, August/Pinocchio did come clean to Emma. He didn’t tell her the specific instance in the orphanage, but he did confess it was his role to look out for her. In the scene in the woods, August said to Emma, “I was supposed to be there for you, but I wasn’t. Because I was half way around the world, I got a painful reminder of just how far I’d strayed.”

For Emma to believe, I think that MM and David will have to believe in conjunction with a tragic event like Henry going into a comma and reviving.

If Regina is responsible for poisoning an apple intended to kill Emma and Henry eats it instead, I wonder how Regina will react. Will she be distraught like a grief-stricken mother? Or will she try to pin the blame on Emma? She may realize she could be arrested by Emma, the sheriff, if it can be traced to her. Could Regina try to leave town? I wonder what would happen to Regina if she tries to leave SB.

Perhaps Henry will die, but only temporarily. I think he may take the fall for Emma, eat a poisoned apple intended for her, but she'll revive him with a mother's true love kiss.

I think that could be the case.

I posted this under the August/Pinocchio character analysis, but I’ll also add it here. I think August is a very complex character who struggles with an inner desire to do the right thing. At the age of seven, with the help of Jiminy Cricket, he was able to do good. However, he hasn’t had anyone to guide him in our world. Like Emma, he has grown up without a mother or a father. He was influenced by peers who were up to no good. Yet, he has an essentially sincere core part of his being, much like Rumpel, which desires to find love. August wants to make up for not fulfilling the promise to his father in a way which parallels Rumpel’s desire to make good on his deal with Bae.
Since August IS Pinocchio, I think that resolves a lot of lingering questions about his character. He does lie, even though he wishes he could be good. However, he came to our wold as a 7-year-old real boy but without a conscience or a father to raise him correctly to be good. He left baby Emma and followed the crowd, because that is what Pinocchio did in the original fairy-tale. Since he escaped the effects of the curse originally, he has spent the last 28 years as a human seeking pleasure, like the puppet Pinocchio did on Pleasure Island. Also, Jiminy said that when Geppetto chose not to heed the Blue Fairy’s warning and not tell Snow White the truth, he was teaching Pinocchio a bad lesson. In our world, Pinocchio/August has lied a lot.
As a grown man, August has returned since he is in fact turning back into wood. He said it happened at the exact moment Emma decided to stay in SB. That was the trigger that started magic in SB. August is reverting back into a puppet form because that is his true original substance. It is comparable to how Jiminy, who was originally a man before being magically turned into a cricket in FTL, is now a man again in SB. August was simply a puppet before the Blue Fairy’s enchantment made him a real boy after he showed himself to be honest, brave, and unselfish. In our world, however, August/Pinocchio hasn’t had good modeling and has been lazy, selfish, and a liar. He is suffering the consequences now that Emma has brought magic to SB.

At first, I thought that it would never be Henry in 100 years, since this is a family show that kids watch. After the promo for episode 21, however, I think that Henry could temporarily die by eating a poisoned apple meant for Emma. That would be majorly shocking. As the original spoiler indicated, “It’s the kind of death you can’t imagine could possibly stick!” That underscores the idea that the death is not permanent (i.e. doesn’t stick or last) for very long. Then Emma, in her grief, could kiss Henry. Poof! A mother’s true love for her son revives Henry again.That would be a very well done scene and perhaps the catalyst that speeds Emma along to believing in fairy-tales.
Edited: Also, I’m not sure if this spoiler has been posted elsewhere, so I’ll just post it here:
Gavin in Port Jefferson, N.Y.: So excited for last few episodes of Once Upon a Time! Anything you can tell us?
Regina is up to her old apple tricks again, setting her sights on one target in particular. Alas, things don’t go according to plan (do they ever on TV?), and Henry may just end up being collateral damage. We’re sure you’re now asking yourselves, “Would Once really kill him off? He’s just a kid!” We’ll just tell you this: Things are about to get dark."That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake.

From the promo for episode 21, it looks like Henry may play a pivotal role in helping his mother to believe by taking matters into his own hands. He says he trusts her and then falls to the floor. There has been some speculation that he eats a poisoned apple meant for Emma, fully believing that she has the power to save him with a mother's true-love-for-her-son kiss. She did manage to set Graham free from the curse so he remembered, so it's entirely possible.

I think the only people who can leave SB are those who are not cursed. That is why Emma, Henry, and August have all been able to leave SB, as again demonstrated in episode 20. However, if anyone else from SB who is cursed were to leave, bad things would happen (e.g. Ashley, Kathryn, Snow White, etc…). We still don’t know if Rumpel is able to leave SB, but I think he can. If he can remember his life in FTL still, then he is not under the power of the curse. If he is not cursed, he can leave SB. That may be how he procured baby Henry from Phoenix, AZ for Regina in the first place.
I think the way that Rumpel escaped the harmful effects of the curse was that he was protected by being imprisoned in the magical mines right as the curse was enacted. That could be how he escaped having his memories stolen from him.

Seriously though I dont know if it’d work in SB but couldnt she wake him if she truly loved him ie -expressing true love itself for her child (rather than partner)?I dont know how exactly that would work since magic isnt meant to work here in all 😕
Actually, Emma brought back magic to SB according to Jefferson in episode 17. When she decided to stay, magical things around town started to happen. When Emma and Graham kissed in episode 7, he remembered his true fairy-tale identity. Emma released Graham from his curse. Emma could certainly release Henry from a curse. She is the only one who could do it since she is the savior.
