| Emma Swan & being brought home by her True Loves

Emma and her True Loves in front of the Storybrooke sign

This imagery was an intentional parallel between Hook and Henry - one of many we have seen in Season 3B. But this is more than a nod to the love she has for both of them. Opening and closing the season with this particular image served to bring Emma’s lost girl story arc full circle, and to remind us that the epic journey she just completed with Hook by her side began with Henry back in season one.

In NYC Serenade Hook tried to bring Emma home but her cursed memories made it difficult for him to get through to her. But when Emma saw the pictures of her and Henry in Storybrooke, pictures of a life she had no memory of and no connection to, it helped her to trust Hook. She wanted to believe him so she took a leap of faith. She drank the memory potion and they headed for Maine.

Just getting Emma to Storybrooke wasn’t enough though. Hook also had to convince her that she belonged there, he needed to remind her of who she truly was, and throughout season 3b he tried to do just that.

But up until the finale Emma remained adamant about leaving Storybrooke, and her fairy tale heritage behind. So Henry gave Hook a different set of pictures to remind Emma where she belonged - he offered his storybook. Just as before Emma felt no connection to the pictures -they were of a life that simply didn’t feel real to her.

It took a journey to the past for Emma to realize that “Home” is the place you miss, and that for her that meant home was in Storybrooke - with her family. And also with Hook.

Season 3B began with Emma reconnecting with her life in Storybrooke by seeing a picture of herself and Henry there. The picture was a reminder of how Henry helped bring Emma home back in S1. Season 3B closed with Emma in front of the same sign, this time with Hook who, like Henry, brought her to Storybrooke not to break a curse, but to bring her home.

Henry helped Emma believe in fairy tales.

Hook helped her believe in herself.

They both brought her home.

Placing Emma in front of the Storybrooke sign with both of her true loves is not only a reminder of their roles in her journey, but also to signal that home can be anywhere - as long as you are with the people you love.

They brought her home :love:

Thanks for adding me.

They make such a pretty family. That SDCC portrait could almost be their first 'family picture' together, you know?

I was re-watching the finale and I noticed this, guys, the only three persons that were there when the apprentice talked about Merlin,
and asked them to find him were Emma, Henry and Killian, and I honestly believe this wasn’t just random because
it could have been Charming and Henry or whoever; so I’m really into the theory in which Emma is in Camelot, so now is Killian’s
and Henry’s job to go and look for her and Merlin, so he can help Emma take the darkness out of her.

The 3 ppl who find out about Merlin!

I hope to see more of them together in scenes

Hope so

Working together to save Emma, find Merlin
