It's good that Archie doesn't want to destroy his imagination too.

[GrhmLz]

So true. Keeping that in play is important.

[Jakls]

Yes, hopefully Regina doesn't put pressure on Archie.

[GrhmLz]

I would really like to see him stand up to her! Maybe he needs a good talking to from Emma - she inspired Ashley enough to challenge Mr. Gold!!!

[Jakls]

I would too. I think he would try his hardest not to hurt Henry though.

[GrhmLz]

Yes, he cares very much for Henry, that much we can tell. It's probably some hidden 'longing' he has, to assist and guide, because that's what he once was for Pinnochio, a puppet who became a little boy. and now, here's Henry, another little boy who needs some guidance.

This was such a sweet moment in Archies office.

aw, yes, it was. I think Emma managed to convince Henry that she was there for him. and she really is, even if she's not fully convinced about the reality of the fairytales just yet.

I think Emma needs to give a speech in every episode. Also, that talk she was giving to Ashley about standing up for yourself and not letting other people tell you who you are, etc... came from Regina dissing her about having no roots and not being able to change the kind of person she is. That really set a fire in Emma. She's going to prove Regina wrong now.

[GrhmLz]

^ That's true. I didn't think of it in that context, but yeah, given those words spoken by Regina to Emma earlier, it only motivated Emma more. and in the end, everything is going to backfire on Regina.

I like how Henry isn't mature or ~wise beyond his years~ I mean, he IS mature in a way but he's still just a 10 year old. It'd have been annoying if he was a know it all kid.

I love that moment! The longer Emma spends with Henry the more she realizes what she missed out on and the more she wants to be with him.

[GrhmLz]

True! I think Emma has been re-evaluting her own choices somewhat, I think she might have some regrets for letting Henry go - I think some of that came out in her heart-felt speech to Ashley/Cinderella about her keeping her baby.

[~lipstick]

Yeah I think a lot of people coerced/guiltied her into giving him up because she "wasn't good enough" to have a child.

[GrhmLz]

i think so too. Told her she was too young, that it would be selfish if she kept the child, etc.

He is very smart, but definitely not mature. XD Sometimes when I see him, all I can think of is "Sneaky little brat"
