NO ONE goes from being the Savior to THE most evil person in Storybrooke in just one episode. IF Emma does turn evil, it will take several episodes - possibly the season finale cliff hanger. She is having problems with her parents. She just killed a person and showed ZERO emotion doing it. Maybe next week, she will do something else - the week after that something else, etc. ABC has been showing a preview where Emma turns to the screen and gives an evil smile/smirk. I thought that she might show it after killing Cruella, but she didn't. That hasn't happened yet. I realize that previews are often deceptive, so we will have to see if she turns evil or not - but if she does, no one will be able to stop her.

They could go to Austria, whose people speak German, and then sneak into Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, or Hungary.

I, for one, thinks that Ksenia Solo speaks just fine.

Since Paige and Elizabeth are supposedly going to Russia, the OTHER unthinkable event might happen. Elizabeth could leave Paige there, put in the "care" of the KGB. I don't think that either event will happen - but I guess you never know.

Paige and Elizabeth are supposedly going on a trip to Russia. I doubt that she will have time to go to Florida.

Emmett and Daphne were friends since they were 8 - 10 years. Emmett will NEVER forgive Daphne for allowing Bay to take the fall for her. He has made that quite clear. KBrownie - Travis and Bay might try dating but I don't believe that Melody would approve of it. She has never really cared for Bay. Bay is also a convicted felon who cheated on Melody's son. She isn't going to allow Bay to cheat on another one of her "sons" - and we have no idea how Emmett would feel about his "brother" dating his ex. You said that Daphne is "sanctified". I guess you mean that all of her problems are over. You can correct me if that is wrong. Unfortunately, she now has some major problems that she has to contend with. She has the constant pressure of becoming a doctor. She will always feel the need to get good grades. When she failed Chem, one of her first reactions was "Oh My God, Bay". She was going to have tell Bay that her loving sacrifice was for absolutely nothing. In other words, she was going to have to admit to Bay that she was nothing but a big loser. Her feelings of despair only ended when Mingo convinced her into retaking the class. This pressure will never go away - that is until she becomes a doctor. Then she has the possibility of a second major problem. If Bay has any further problems with the law because of her past association with Nacho, Daphne's guilt will be overwhelming.

Everleigh - You could very well be right about everything but I wonder which school she would commute to. I'm going to assume that the only school that she could commute to would be UMKC, and I would find it very hard to believe that Melody would allow Bay to enroll there - but I could be mistaken. Tank doesn't need to be a villain. He just has to be a man trying to get his reputation back. Since Bay has accused him of rape, he will NEVER be friends with her ever again or have anything positive to say about her anymore. If he can get his reputation back, then he isn't going to care if Bay gets hurt in the process.

A "fallout of her assault" COULD mean a pregnancy with Tank's child or it could mean an attempt by Tank to get his reputation back by trying to get UMKC to admit that the sex was NOT a rape but consensual sex. Tank could say that Bay is a convicted felon and felons OFTEN lie. Bay has already had to contend with the name calling on the internet. It would be worse this time if that were to happen. I don't see how Bay could "thrive" in 4B. Do colleges WANT convicted felons? Finding a decent job will be very difficult, unless she were to get a job through her parents - working at the coffee house, being a manager at one of the car washes, or being paid to clean the house while Kathryn and Toby are writing their musical. She could paint those benches, but that would be unpaid. Then there is the possibility of having Nacho committing a crime and somehow being able to blame it on Bay. He "saw" her ruin property before when she got angry over her father's death. She can do it again after being angry about her breakup with Emmett. Daphne has her own problems. She has to pay Bay back for her loving gift of saving Daphne's life. She MUST become a doctor and all of the pressures that go along with getting good grades. Then again, I have been accused of being really negative - but I don't see very many happy endings for these 2 main characters.

To get the band back together again, they would need Wilke - and he doesn't appear to be around anymore. Emmett and Daphne's friendship disintegrated when Bay took the blame for Daphne. Emmett has wanted nothing to do with her ever since. Unless Emmett was Skyping with his mother, I wouldn't know who he would be doing it with. Surely not with Bay or Daphne - unless Bay happened to be pregnant with Emmett's child - but that seems unlikely. IF Bay were to become pregnant, it would most likely be Tank's - and that would open up another can of worms. I can't see Bay spending the rest of her life with Tank, child or no child. Bay doesn't seem like the kind of person who would get an abortion. Daphne - YES - but not Bay.

If I'm mistaken, then someone will correct me. This MAY be the first time that Emma has killed someone. We will have to see what, if any, emotions, she has about this. I have never killed anyone but I would think that a person would feel SOMETHING. If she doesn't feel anything, then she is a lot closer to being evil, then we would have imagined. There are only a few more episodes left, if she turns, it will happen in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

YES - Emma saved her son from what she perceived as danger. No one will argue that. What is unnerving is the lack of emotion that she showed after she had killed Cruella. MOST "good" people, and Emma is supposed to be good, would have shown that they were sorry, disappointed that it had to come to this, regretful, or SOMETHING. Instead, Emma showed nothing. While that doesn't make her an evil person, it could very well be the first step towards becoming evil.

Emma isn't evil yet - but she appears to be on her way there.

For which country - Russia?

We can humanize P and E and maybe even feel somewhat sorry for them - but since Elizabeth wants Paige to actively work in the future for the KGB, I can't sympathize with any mother who wants to groom her own daughter to, very probably, become a whore. You're right - A family of ISIS terrorists would be very difficult to have any sympathy for.

P and E aren't really that sympathetic. They are murderers and Elizabeth has said that she wants her children to follow in their parents footsteps, which I guess for Paige means possibly killing people, sleeping with whatever men that she has to, and everything else associated with being a spy.

There don't appear to be many scenarios where a happy ending would be possible.

This may have already been discussed but my question is this. When this show is finished, what will the happy endings be? Will there be any? If Philip and Elizabeth go back to Russia, are killed, or are put in jail, what happens to Paige and Henry? Unless Paige is 18. their ending may not be very happy. I can't see either one of them wanting to move to Russia. Do P and E get to retire and live happily ever after in the U.S.? I would find that hard to believe. If Paige is left in Russia, imprisoned, and tortured into working for the Soviets, that will not be a happy ending. In fact, she will probably spend the rest of her life trying to kill her mother and possibly, her father. P and E probably don't deserve a happy ending but Paige and Henry do. The vast majority of shows, if they don't really have happy endings, at least don't have unhappy endings. Even "Justified" finished with some happier endings than expected. Sometimes shows that deal with criminals have main characters who are killed - "The Shield" and "Sons of Anarchy" are 2 that come to mind - but Paige and Henry aren't criminals. If anybody has any thoughts about this, let us know.

Thanks.

Does anyone know - Does Philip have any parents?

A German word doesn't have to mean Germany or Berlin. It could mean Austria, where they could then be escorted into Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, or Hungary. - and then to Russia.

Mom and Paige are going away for a few days? - Hooray. Dad can we order some pizza?

Someone mentioned that they saw a German word in the previews. That could mean that they fly to West Germany or West Berlin, sneak into East Germany, and then from there go to Russia. There is a scene in the previews where they are being followed. This COULD be West German police. It wouldn't make any sense that they would be running from East German, or Soviet, police - but previews are often deceptive.

Thank You.

For all intents and purposes, Communism is dead. As far as I know, EVERY totalitarian system was evil. O.K. Argument over.

Who would they tell Paige and Henry that she is - their "Aunt" Martha? Whoever they tell Paige who she is, Paige isn't going to believe them.
