3. Why is Henry such a fussy baby? His girlfriend wasn't into him for about five minutes, and it's the end of the world? Really? It served a very good purpose, it looks like Violet got her heart back, and he couldn't even remember it at all until Regina spilled the beans. What exactly does he have to be mad about? And isn't that exactly very similar to what Regina did to Belle and Rumple? She told Belle that she needed help, and then tore Belle's heart out without asking. Then she cruelly made Rumple think that Belle hated him or something. And noe Regina is blustering her way through a half-guilty rebuke of Emma. Aghgh!!!! I thought that she was starting to redeem herself when she volunteered to relive her first love's death to get the tear they needed, then it all fell apart.

4. I also thought it was ridiculous that an unrequited first crush was more powerful than even the faded pain of seeing your fiance killed in front of you by your own mother. This is Henry's first crush. It's pretty devestating being told to your face that she doesn't feel the same way you do. AND Henry set up a very nice dinner date in Granny's! Nice touch. (Could of done less LWM items like soda, movies and the like but that's the land he is from so oh well).

Personally it hurts a lot more right away when someone you have a crush on says I don't feel the same way but like our releationship as is than outright rejecting your friendship.

Emma knew that Regina's OLD memory would not work and something freshly cut would work. All those raw emotions are in the forefront already, instead of Regina recalling those emotions from a past memory.
