Once upon a Time TV Show - Conneaut,OH

She took the book because she wanted to see the little girl's drawing in the book to see how much of what Jefferson (same name in both places) aka Mad Hatter was "correct" according to the book. It all lined up from what she saw. In regards to the "Hat Trick" after the confrontation - I believe it is showing that the tides ARE turning and they are turning in Emma's favor - I want to know WHY Gold and Regina aka Rumple and Queen are working together now - they HATE eachother.
In addition, YES all the stories are RE-Worked to show that this is a COMMUNITY of people, not just individuals, it is interesting the way they worked in The Prince and The Pauper with out being too obvious, Changed up the Beast with Belle and made her an actual Princess from the start, Cinderella - there is an actual reason Rumple was there vs the Fairy and I have yet to settle in on a reason other than the obvious they needed to work him in. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE the direction they went with Red - Ruby is soooo fun and Dreamy to Grumpy was interesting and unexpected - the fairies are Nuns -- who comes up with this stuff just GOLD!!

i agree with BB. i didn't think we could tell much from jefferson disappearing though. i kept waiting for him to jump out at them when they were standing around talking in his driveway lol.

i do think it was an "aha" moment for Emma though. i LOVE this show...can't wait for more!

Yes!!! Love that show!! I think the ending implied that she did indeed work magic and even though on a superficial level she doesn't believe it, it is starting to sink in. Does that mean that Jefferson is still in Storybrooke or in some alt universe...I think that is left to be seen! But Emma was looking at the book and wanted to keep it at the end means she is starting to see that Henry might be right.

I didn't think the name change. I think she just believed and I would hope they explain where he went in storybrook since he was clearly still stuck in wonderland. Or maybe in both worlds he is stuck there.

My favorite episode by far is the red one. Loved it.

I'm loving the show. I have since the first episode and can't wait until more. I don't think that the ending meant she did magic. What I got out of the ending was that she is starting to believe. More and more every episode. I think it was just a realization that what Jefferson told her could really be true.

We love that show, but missed that episode.. I will look for it online.. Maybe I can figure it out.

Should we put a Spoiler Alert on this Thread? Probably - I'll put one here
SPOILER ALERT! REGARDING THE MAD HATTER EPISODE!

Not that I know enough to reveal but here's my post......

I didn't catch the name change, unless you meant the little girl who is Grace in the fairy tale and Libby(?) or something else in present day Storybrook? Their names are different from the Fairytale to the present day in many places (Mary Margaret is Snow White) (Mr. Gold is Rumplestiltskin). The fairytale stories are confusing because for one I don't remember a lot of them and two, the evil queen and Rumplestiltskin a lot of them and all the characters seem to know each other and I think they are modified from the traditional ones sometimes (Rumplestiltskin has a son instead of a daughter....).

Do you think the guy that is the Mad Hatter dissapeared from Storybrook and his daughter appeared? I thought he wasn't injured enough to not run away after Emma and Mary Margaret knocked out of the window. Now I'm confused (even more so). I hope someone watched, knows and responds to your post.
