Henry's Father? (Spoilers/Speculation)

[jeri]

I think that thief Nick, Tallahasse, I forgot his name already, has to be tied into the mythology of it all more than what it appears...other than Henry's dad of course.

Yes, that appears to be the nature of this show, everything connected in some way and we have the fun of speculating how.

[Spimman]

He did steal a bunch of watches, white rabbit perhaps???

[the fifth man]

I like the speculation on what character Henry's Dad may be. Hopefully we find out.

[garhkal]

Baelfire, Rumplestiltskin's son.

Ah.. Gotcha.

And as for mr thief potentially being the write rabit, how has he managed to stay out of storybrook for soo long if he WAS tied in.

[rkgardner2003]

I think that someone sent to/or went to Storybrooke/non magical world prior to the curse wasn't trapped there, like Emma and August. So Mr Thief could be tied in some how.

[Platschu]

I also support tha Bae theory, but it would be a bit unbelievable that three "off-world" strangers could find each other so easily.

I thought it was made pretty clear that the criminal Emma ran with was Henry's father

I thought so too. Unless Bae is somehow the criminal, I don't think Bae is the father. I understood the episode to be telling us that Henry's father is the criminal Emma ran with. Especially since I don't see Emma as the type to ever sleep around, and it was very obvious that she and the criminal were in a rather serious relationship, given the fact that he was trying to protect her and settle down to a life without crime. It stands to reason that he was the only one she was sleeping with, so he'd be Henry's father. They were still planning to run off together when he called the cops and got her arrested, so I doubt there was another man.

It also explains why Emma lied to Henry about his father. She felt like she'd been tricked and set up by the father, but she didn't want Henry to know that and lied to spare his feelings. If he ends up going to town, it's going to be interesting if/when Henry finds out the truth.

But yeah, unless he is also somehow Bae, I don't know how Bae could be the father. It was an interesting theory, but it just doesn't seem plausible now.

[Platschu]

I hope Bae will be Pan Peter in Neverland and that will be how Hook and Rumpi will have some unfinished business.

That doesn't work as they have already identified who is Peter Pan in Fairytale land. This was after Balefire fell through the portal

Yes it was clear he was the father, but is it not possible for them to spin it somehow that he has a past she wouldn't know about and therefore possibly tied in some other way? Not necessarily as Bae. Boy, is she gonna be some mad with August when she finds out he was involved!

who is it?

[Shylodog]

Yeah. I'm at a loss too. Who did they identify as Peter Pan? And what was in the "Ark of Truth" August was toting around with him? It'll be interesting to see.

[jelgate]

who is it?

William Smee

[Remybug]

William Smee

No, William Smee is not Peter Pan. He is Hook's companion in the story of Peter Pan.
