There are two episodes left on Once Upon A Time, so why do we feel like we are still dealing with mid season plots? When will Emma Swan finally believe Henry? When will she face off to the Evil Queen/Regina in an epic battle that includes medieval weaponry? But most of all I want to see the looks on every characters face when they finally realize who they are and where they come from!
The good news is that the writers have taken steps in the right direction in the last few episodes. Who didn't enjoy Emma's in-your-face threat to Regina? And all the audience teasers with the August story line? Who is he really?
Well on this week's episode, aptly titled, we finally find out. The episode starts to drop hints from the get go. Henry points out to Emma that someone has added a new story to his book, and left it unfinished. That story is Pinocchio. The scene cuts to the Once Upon A Time version of Pinocchio, and we know it's going to be good.
And it is. The identity of Pinocchio in the real world is revealed through flashbacks that remind us how the series started, and, finally, delves a bit more into Emma's history. August, we learn, is Pinocchio. What?! Yes. And he knows who he is. In fact, he is the little boy who 'found' baby Emma, as they both traveled wardrobe style, into the real world. He tries to make a believer out of Emma, who still suffers from an incurable case of denial. The episode ends with a twist that has everyone saying 'hey what gives?' How is this moving forward with the story line? Henry's kidnapping by Emma points to many more episodes of drama before she is finally willing to accept the truth about who she is.
And then there is the question about what Regina will do, or will be able to do. She can't very well leave Storybrooke, can she?!
