Episode Discussion 2x14: Manhattan

While Mr. Gold, Emma and Henry go in search of Gold’s son Bae in New York, Cora, Regina and Hook attempt to track down one of Rumplestiltskin’s most treasured possessions. Meanwhile, in the fairytale land that was, Rumplestiltskin realizes his destiny while fighting in the Ogres War.

Posting a little early as I'll be out tonight. Enjoy the show!

IIRC, the creators of the show said in an interview that Gold's memories returned the moment he heard Emma's name in Storybrooke. Which, in that case, makes me wonder how the heck he was able to procure Henry, specifically, as the baby for Regina to adopt when he didn't know anything about the curse or FTL at that time. Hard to believe that was coincidence. I guess we're just supposed to believe it was fate, but I hope for a better explanation.

Hmmm, now that I've said that, it occurred to me that maybe August had a hand in the adoption. It would've had to be through someone else though, seeing as how Gold didn't immediately know who August was when he came to Storybrooke.

Interesting. I guess I interpreted it differently. There was an episode early in the series where Regina was asking Gold about Henry and he was talking about how he procured him from Phoenix, etc. It totally seemed like he knew what what he was doing. But then, I guess it could have been fate. While the revelation of Neal is Bae was not shocking, I liked how the episode unfolded. And the conversation in the bar where Neal says that there is no such thing as coincidence. So everything was meant to happen...
