Once Upon A Time

[Grendalynn]

Whats up with the Pumpkin Pie Reference? Peter Peter pumpkin Eater?

Who did the ED lose in her family?? Did she have a child taken away? She was very upset with H&G father about family always finding each other...

What was in the box - the writers wanted us to be sure we saw it on the back of the motorcycle...

How does Mr Gold know everything.... even the unwritten?

 

[trip]

I have to go back and watch this, but my daughter was pretty certain that the case on the back of the motorcycle was the same box that the EQ put the apple into on her desk. Anyone else see that?

I think the "apple" box is smaller than the box that was on the back of the motorcycle.

The pie reference was about the story Emma told Henry about his dad.

I think the guy in the motorcycle was Gastron from Beauty and the Beast

I think the pumpkin pie comment twice might be a clue as to who Henry's dad is. We'll see!

Does anyone have any thoughts on Mr. "K" Krzyszkowski, the clerk at Storybrooke's office of records? Any idea who he might be in Fantasyland?

EOnline caught up with Jennifer Morrison of Once Upon A Time on the red carpet and got some spoilery scoop about a new love interest for Morrison’s character, Emma Swan. Eion Bailey will play Storybrooke’s mysterious stranger, that eventually starts to believe Henry’s fairytale theory.

“I think the mysterious stranger is one of those people who may be a part of that,” Morrison teases. “He’s going to have some knowledge that some of the other people in town don’t have.”

The stranger asked for a "bed" and Emma sent him to "Granny's" B&B, so my guess is he's the wolf somehow.

Is D23 still around? The stranger's license plate said 23... just thought that a strange coincidence. It also appeared to be from Kansas, but that part was a little blurry.

Emma asked for a room and was told to go to Granny's too. That doesn't make her a part of the Red Riding Hood story. Honestly, it's probably the only inn in town.

Not sure how he could be the Big Bad Wolf or Gaston or any fairytale character. Henry has already said a couple of times that people cannot leave Storybrooke - bad things always happen.

What is D23????

I took a snapshot of the back of the bike, but it's blurry. Can anyone make out what it says?

I think the box on his bike is just a trunk indicating he's planning on staying for a while...

 

[KrazyPete]

What is D23????

LMGTFY... D23

 

[threeboysmom]

Oh nvm. Google is my friend.

23 refers to the year Walt Disney came to Hollywood and the Disney company was founded.

Good catch, my3sonsagn! Another Disney reference

 

[threeboysmom]

LMGTFY... D23

You're speaking gibberish! lol

 

[KrazyPete]

I don't think those are Arizona plates. That would have been a good sign that he's Henry's dad.

In the video she says that he's called the "Mysterious Stranger" for a "long time." I think that rules out Gaston since we should be meeting him in a few episodes right? Video Link

I figured it was just a license plate. I think that MA on the side

 

[FourBees]

Not sure of the age difference between stranger and Emma but could stranger possibly be Rumplestiltskins (aka Mr. Gold) son? Another mystery but I love it!

Gosh, such a wise guy tonight!

I think those toe shoes have gotten to your head!

Didn't Emma come from Boston?

 

[KrazyPete]

Remember that when Rumpel met Jiminy, he was already the Dark One and Gepetto was just a boy. Rumpel's son would probably be older than Marco in Storybrooke.

YES! Good catch!

 

[KrazyPete]

Didn't Emma come from Boston?

That's where Henry found her. Henry was born in Phoenix. Emma found out that she was pregnant just before she went to jail and Henry was born in jail. It's a good chance that Phoenix is where the relationship with Henry's dad happened.

It's been ten years. I suppose that Henry's dad might have moved around as well. What are the odds that he ended up in Boston too?

Also, there was little bit of advice about married men that Emma gave Mary Margaret. It sounded a bit like it was coming from experience. If Henry's dad were married, then he was a married man messing around with a girl who was 18. It's possible he was really in love with her and followed her Boston sometime later. It seems really unlikely as far as romantic TV sub-plots go.

That said, all of this assumes a lot from a few scattered clues and I personally still think that the "Henry's Dad" theory is the best one we've got right now. Especially if this character is going to be around for a long time and specifically active in Henry's life (as the Jennifer Morrison interview seems to reveal).

EDITED TO ADD: On second thought, the "married men" reference could come her background as a bail bondsman and numerous encounters like that "date" in the first episode.

 

[KrazyPete]

So... was I the only one who was like, YES!!! when the episode opened with the pictures of the Incredible Hulk and Wolverine?

And then again when the compass spun to point to the children's father? You can't tell me that's not exactly like a certain pirate captain's compass!

Storybrooke/Marvel Universe/PotC collision ahead!
