When I think of heritage, I think about ancestry, background, "where did my parents come from and where did their parents come from?". I get visions of those Ancestry.com commercials where people find out their great, great grandfather was a war vet who married a woman that grew up down the block from where you currently live. And she had red hair just like you. Wow!

So I'm thinking Emma's gotta go back (not in time, but maybe she has to research, or go to the EF) and find out all about her heritage in order to form who she is and will be. (And obviously let's hope that who she WILL be, will be Mrs Killian Jones). wink wink. But seriously.

It could be that, or it could be more Heritage about her life in LWM, it was hinted in the interviews that more of Emma's past was in the cards, particularly the Swan family, I'm curious as to why she has that surname, outside of the LOST reference. Maybe they're important and they aren't just "nice people Emma got affectioned to but who abandoned her for some reason" and this generic stuff, I mean... I'm pretty sure the Swan family has a meaning, considering Emma has been encountering a huge number of fairy tales characters before Storybrooke: Baelfire, August, Ingrid and now Lily.
