I wish we knew what the writer was doing to the book. But more than that, it really bothered me that Emma gave the book back to Henry and he had just said his mom was on her way to pick him up. So, Henry hid this book from his mom for years and Emma didn't even give it back to him in the big red box? Or in that fancy pouch she carried it in? LOL - don't know why that bothered me so much. It's just not an easily disguised book.

I had the same thought Sara. It's like the writers/director think we're too lazy to notice things like that. He needs that lockbox and to be able to hide the book again.

I got the impression this was the "author". When Henry lost the book he reappears in town and makes an identical copy of the book and has it reappear so that Henry gets the book back.

Remember at the beginning of the series when Henry said something about not knowing how the story ends because the final chapter was missing from his book?
I still think the writer is one of the Grimm brothers who wrote all those faery tales. (He is a writer after all!) As for what he was doing with the book...I think he was replacing the missing chapter and he aged the pages so they'd look like the old pages in the rest of the book.
Hopefully, Henry will flip to the back of the book soon and learn how the story ends before the Wicked Mayor gets her evil witchy hands on it!

Terolyn, I overlooked your post when I scanned the thread. Your theory sounds good! I think we both may be right....he replaced the book, but in doing so he also replaced the missing end of the story that Henry had never seen!

August W. Booth
August W. Booth[4] (Eion Bailey) is a mysterious young man who comes to Storybrooke for an unknown purpose. He is first seen at the end of "True North" after Henry told Emma that no stranger ever came to Storybrooke. He rides a motorcycle carrying a huge box. In the episode "7:15 A.M." when Emma confronts him at the diner he tells Emma he'll show her what's inside the box, if she'll let him buy her a drink sometime. Emma agrees and the Stranger reveals the contents of the box, an old-fashioned typewriter, and tells Emma that he's a writer. It is speculated that he is the original author of Henry's book, and has come back to Storybrooke to finish it now that Emma has returned to break the curse. At the end of "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree", it is revealed that he, not Regina, dug up Henry's storybook. He then restores the book and adds more pages, suggesting that he might have updated the stories, or simply replaced the pages Emma tore out and burned to prevent Regina from remembering how the Dark Curse will be lifted. He then plants the book to make it look like Emma had found it before she returned it to Henry.

Sunday at 1:00 PST, or 4:00 EST, is the OUAT panel at Paleyfest. I've always envied those who live in LA and can buy the tickets and go to the sessions. All the stars and creative talent will be answering questions.
Well, I discovered you can listen for free on www.livestream.com. So I signed up. Oh, and tomorrow is American Horror Story and in the next couple weeks are Bones, Castle, Sons of Anarchy, and others. Wish I had known of this sooner!

This show may have lost me tonight. The wolf and Peter was just too brutal for me. I am drawn to this series in some ways, but in some ways repulsed by it.

I'm starting to look for the twist with each ep. Have to give them props, the clues were in our faces. I mean, c'mon Red's tracking abilities and her sense of smell etc SCREAMED the twist to us, but still, it was a shock. Loved that!

Me, too! The heart in the box was a little creepy, though. Whose heart is that??? The sheriff's? And why was it buried in the woods? That was really weird. I don't think it's the missing woman (can't remember her name!). Where's the rest of her?

Sheriff's heart was destroyed (that is what killed him) when the Mayor/Queen crushed it in her hands. So who does she have in her control now? Mirror? He loves her before he even had a heart. So maybe it is the missing wife.

Why would that heart be buried in the woods instead of being kept with the others?
It was quite a twist on the old fairy tale. Didn't see it coming at all. And I'm glad they finally got to Ruby's story. They hadn't given her much of a role in this show until now.

It's starting to wear on me too. The show is unique and interesting but sometimes such a downer that it frustrates me. We are overdue to see the queen get a bit of her own medicine!

The happiness was Snow getting her love/memory back for the Prince (?)

I agree with Pamy. Think I might keep them in there and just read spoilers and go back and watch them if something good happens.
Queen definitely needs to lose in a big way soon. She can't always win.

I am thinking that all of this must come into play so that we can see the full story before the tables turn.

I've stopped watching. And I am really alarmed that this show with a children's story title ("Once Upon a Time") and BRUTAL scenes (Red Riding Hood eats her boyfriend) is on in the Family Hour! I think that's a shock and a shame. I remember once in childhood when Ed Sullivan show, of all things, had a disturbing animation piece aired (about the atomic bomb). He verbally warned over and over for children not to watch, but I did anyway--and I have never forgotten it (not in a good way). I was so disturbed that I asked permission of my Mom to stay up past bedtime to watch "Bonanza" afterwards. But I can't tell you what was on Bonanza, and I remember the deeply disturbing piece on Sullivan to this day. They should put this show later--and/or give a VERBAL warning about the show before airing.

}There is no such thing as Family Hour TV anymore on most networks, and there hasn't been for years. A few examples:
Violent:
Alcatraz
Sexual Content:
How I Met Your Mother
Two Broke Girls
Whitney
Even my fav, The Big Bang Theory.
Fairy tales are brutal, to be surprised that Once Upon a Time follows the form is a bit naive in my opinion. You didn't actually see her eat her boyfriend by the way. The premise of the show is an evil and cruel queen's revenge.

I had a book of Grimm's Fairytales when I was little. It was quite scary if I remember correctly. And Cinderella... YIKES. Totally different from Disney. The sisters actually cut off bits of their feet to fit into the slipper... EWWW. Never forget that one.}
