One of the most interesting aspects, at least to me, of this "full-circle narrative" that Adam and Eddy have introduced is that the episode was bookended by flash-forwards, with the beginning clearly taking place quite some time AFTER the ending, so that we have a "benchmark" context in which to place Henry's journey.

This is my speculation too after I watched the episode. Also, when Lucy said "They wouldn't believe us" and she had the storybook.

Good and evil both make the right choice, so a man gets turned back into a baby?

Who the hell makes up these stupid rules?

Gideon was turned back into a baby as a result of Rumple killing Fiona and Henry breaking her Curse completely using True Love's Kiss.

My statement about the bookending flash-forwards isn't speculation, BTW, but an accurate description of what we see (since we first see both Lucy and Adult Henry in the Enchanted Forest at the beginning of Part 1).

Uh huh.

So what exactly happened to Emma? Is she no longer the savior now because the final battle is over?

It would be nice if they explained these things.

I loved this epi so much, will be watching it over and over

I loved that there was not one hero, but several, each doing their part!

While there were so many stories that didn't get closure, the fact that they had so many HEAs at the end and showed so many realms coming back to life, gave me the feel that all the others got their HEAs too, very nice touch IMO

. I'm trying to pretend it was the end. I don't want to think Belle and Emma are dead or they're all divorced.

I thought Henry's apartment number being 815 was clever.

Something clearly happens to everyone in Henry's family. It looked to me like the scene s the EF happened after the little girl finds Henry in Seattle.

It's kinda bittersweet. The truest believer no longer believes.
