QUESTIONS: Storybrooke Mysteries

Hi there!

We're only in the first season and we've already had several mysteries established on Once. Some of them have been solved, while many have not. This is a list of the questions whose answers (I think) will end up being significant. (Some of them are obvious, some of them have their own entries, but I still listed them because they're worth discussing. Also, more will be added to list as I re-watch each episode.):



  • How will Emma break the Curse? (theory here)
  • Is Emma Swan going to be the Swan Princess in FTL?
  • Who was Henry's father? Is he from OW or FTL?
  • If Henry's father is from OW, will he go to FTL when the Curse is broken? (Guess not!)
  • Where did Mary Margaret get the storybook?
  • Who wrote the storybook?
  • According to the producers, Mr. Gold did not remember FTL until he heard Emma's name at Granny's Bed & Breakfast. If that is the case, was Mr. Gold finding Henry coincidence? Or was there more to it?
  • Who is Dr. Whale in FTL, and why does he work for Regina in OW?
  • What is Prince Charming's real name? (Not James; his real name. Theory here.)
  • Who is the Severe Nurse in FTL? (theory here)
  • What was wrong with David in the Storybrooke forest when Mary Margaret was looking for Katherine in "Red-Handed", and what was he doing out there again later when Ruby and Emma were looking for him? Why doesn't David remember where he was between Emma's office and the forest?
  • Who made up the results that said the heart in the box was Kathryn's?
  • What kind of deals did Cora make with Rumplestiltskin regarding Regina?

  • Who is Mr. Gold's helper, who drove Moe French's van away?
  • How long has Baelfire been in OW?
  • What happened to Baelfire when he came here?
  • Does time pass differently in OW vs. FTL?
  • Who was Rumplestiltskin's wife?
  • What kind of "final preparations" did the Blue Fairy make before the Curse completed?

FINALE QUESTIONS *WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINALE*:


  • The music on the title card was played on a different instrument from normal; it sounded like a harpsichord. It was very fitting for Rumplestiltskin; could this be a sign of Rumple's dropping the true love potion into the wishing well, as well as his changing the rules in his favor?
  • When Emma's face changed from realization to anger in the hospital, she got scary mad. Is that a hint at a hidden dark side that will be unleashed in a future episode? Could Emma go bad at some point?
  • How did Snow White and Prince Charming defeat Regina, and go from the glass coffin in the woods to living in the castle?
  • How did Jefferson know that Belle was in the hospital basement?
  • Will Belle find out that Rumplestiltskin created the Curse? How will she react if/when she does?
  • Why didn't everyone return to FTL?
  • Mr. Gold said he is bringing magic to our world, "a land without magic." Does that mean the purple cloud will return magic only to Storybrooke, or will it spread everywhere?
(And now in that 1950's announcer voice)
  • Is Mr. Gold bringing magic to Storybrooke so he can use it to find Baelfire?
  • Will Mr. Gold and/or Regina try to take over OW?
  • Will our heroes ever return to FTL?
