This is the first appearance of Storybrooke's paper, and if you look closely at it, it doesn't have a date!

While I'm thinking of it, and if anyone cares, there was a discussion on another board (or maybe it was here) about Emma placing Henry for adoption. The idea was the Neal should have known/been informed. I looked into it a while back.

"For fathers who are not married to the mother, a notice must be served on them advising them of the mother’s adoption plan. The father has 30 days from the date the notice is served upon him to file a paternity action in the Superior Court and to have the mother served with a copy of the paternity paperwork. If he does not file the paternity action and serve the mother within 30 days, his consent to the adoption is not necessary."

If Neal could not be found, he would never have been served. Emma could also claim that she doesn't know who the father was.

MM looks great in this episode, and I love Archie's jacket.
