this has been playing around my head for a few days. i know no one can leave storybrook, but is that leave as in move to anther place or leave as in go to go on vacation. i know Henry left but he had to return. could someone else leave as long as they returned? if so that would enplane how Mr. Gold was able to get Henry.

Henry can leave, Emma can't

because she's 'in the book'. Remember the Pilot, when she tried to leave she saw the wolf and crashed. Henry wasn't with her.

So Henry is wrong about telling Emma, she could leave. Once she entered Storeybrook, because she's in teh book, she can't leave. IMO

Henry may believe he 'had' to return, but my interp of that was it was because he's 10 and the law wouldn't let him leave (as well as how would he eat, have a place to stay etc)

I'm wondering how long it takes Emm to realize she can't leave now.

Ooh, that's a brilliant point! It's a case of the fact Emma wasn't part of the world before which made her believe she could go...I hadn't thought of it like that but it makes perfect sense.

That's an interesting theory. The wolf keeping her there could still have been a one-time thing, but it'd be cool if your idea proves to be true. :)

You have a good point about Emma. Once she entered Storybrooke, she appeared to have become a part of the curse as she's in the book after all. If she had been able to leave freely, the wolf wouldn't have been there to prevent her from leaving -- but the wolf was there and Emma crashing her car delayed her from leaving and the rest is history...

She did leave though, she went back for her things in Boston.

Did she? I thought she said she had them sent to her.

I could be wrong though, I often am.

They were definitely shipped because she said she was glad they finally got there. I don't know if that means she went back to pack them or not though, but I'm guessing not.

I've been saying this all along but everybody always acts like I'm nuts. lol Glad to see someone else who thinks Emma can't leave anymore and that Henry can. He wasn't in the book afterall.

Good point. Didn't realize that's why she crashed. Yeah. She's stuck like the rest of them.

I remember Granny saying she had a heart attack when Ruby tried to leave, thus preventing her from sleeping her way down the East coast.
