And with Ivy and Henry, it's the equivalent of kissing someone who is too drunk to say no, knowing that they would not want it if they were sober. I agree (ignoring what I wrote earlier). My point was that from a perspective (not mine), if Tom wished for a Happy Ending and now he and Lucy (a girl he likes) were in a castle, married in a kid’s movie, noone’s going to outright think...he’s a sexual assaulting criminal because Lucy’s not aware of the reality warp or consent.

I think that’s where the writers are coming from with Regina and Graham. It’s the “let’s not look to deep” view which often leads to deeper, darker ramifications from kid movies to adult dramas.
