- How did he do it?

- Changing the past?

- When did he get to do it, seeing that Hook is currently cursed and not much time has past?

- It seems excessive. Why would Hook travel back in time to say "Emma, your preggers. Go home!"

- If the ending is suppose to be passing the torch, leaving Emma to go off to maintain her happiness, I can't see time travelling Hook to be the best or only way for that message to get across.

Key reason is that it's a bit much. They set up a macguffin that could relate to the second Hook. Message Hook seems to appear that night that Regina and Hook save Henry. So....

In SB...

Henry gets moody. Hook gives Emma the magic "Message in the bottle", where you say the name of your favorite pirate and whisper your message."

In NEF.....

Henry gets captured and imprisoned in the Tremaine Estate. Henry summons help. REgina comes rushing in, blasting people left and right. Hook covers her. Everybody heads to Henry's home. Hook goes for a walk in-town. Message Hook and Hook tussle. Hook goes all Batman with "Where is she? Why did you say that name?" Emma's somewhere.

Emma comes to visit Henry. Secrets out! Emma misses Henry (and is pregnant)! Emma goes back home, message fulfilled. Regina did magic on the shoe to find Cinderella (which ties into the next episode).

I can be totally wrong, but this is how I think it will play out. Not sold on this theory. What happens to message!Hook by the way? He just poofs away after the message is fulfilled? It's true than JMo only filmed for 2 days, but Adam said she appears in way more than 2 scenes, so I'm expecting 5 scenes with her.

Btw, I agree that these theories make me more excited for the episode, but I disagree with Purple22lulu for various reasons:

- There is a new hero, but no new Savior, they said this is EF-1 mithology only.

- Emma obviously is not dying.

- She can't give birth in the episode, even if she could there would be just too much going on in the flashback.
