Me, three…in fact, I rewound the recording and watched it again to make sure I’d seen it correctly.
Gotta love a library that has all its books still shelved despite being closed down.
I remember Pinocchio now, sorry. Will the magic be able to bring him back? Is Gipetto still around too? I swear, my mind is like an Etch a Sketch, I bend over and my whole memory gets wiped. LOL
They showed Gipetto in Storybrooke, trying to find Pinocchio. Henry whispered something to him, and he went to the room where August/Pinocchio had been staying, but he wasn’t there.
IIRC, at the beginning of one of the episodes this season, it opened with some guy in an apartment in a seemingly large city, and a bird lands in his open window/fire escape. Then the bird flies off and we see that it dropped off a postcard for the town of Storybrooke.
I’m guessing that the guy was Baelfire, all grown up. It looked to me like the actor was in his mid-thirties, which would be about the right age for Bae (I think). And the postcard was inviting him to go to Storybrooke, since the curse was now broken and magic is in town.
Oh! Okay, maybe I’m slow, but I just got that. Curse #1 is broken, but the barrier effect is still up - Storybrookians can’t leave town without leaving their true identities, but Bael could come to town… yeah, that’s good.
Off-topic, but - do outsiders know anything about Storybrooke? Do they have mail delivery in and out of town? Before the curse was broken, there wouldn’t have been much suspicious, but now it’d be hard to keep the secret.
yeah - but why would Baelfire care about the curse being broken? It didn’t prevent visitors (although no one seemed to visit until Emma and Pinnochio) - it only prevented people leaving and from remembering their true selves.
Maybe because he didn’t know his father remembered anything and thought he wouldn’t know him.
