Recap
Young Jiminy lives a life of thievery but his conscious yearns for him to escape and do the right thing. His effort brings terrible consequences to an innocent family and Jiminy wishes to be a cricket so he can be a guide to the now orphaned Geppetto.
In Storybrooke, Regina forces Dr. Hopper to change his methods with Henry. These new methods backfire so Henry looks for proof in a mine that collapsed as a result of Emma’s building roots in Storybrooke.
Fairytale Topics
Jiminy wants to be a cricket because crickets “get to do whatever they want.”
Strong themes “follow your conscience” and who you are.
Geppetto was the once to give Jiminy his trademark umbrella.
Rumpelstiltskin hired Jiminy to steal for him and give him names. He likes to collect things?
Jiminy seeks bad magic so he can be free to “do the right thing”?
The poison “does its work” on the innocent couple, which turns them into the puppets we’ve seen in Mr. Gold’s pawn shop.

Regina is genuinely concerned for Henry. Emma starts showing motherly care.
Did Emma get involved with a married man who became Henry’s father? Who is Henry’s father anyway?
