When she was looking for the author because she wanted her "happy ending". There's truth in what Zelena says when she comments on Regina's lack of appreciation for what she has. She has a beautiful home, a cushy job, a son she loves- but she talks as if that means nothing and life is just constantly slapping her down, never letting her catch a break. She may say that Robin is only a part of it, but it still seems to be the deal breaker.

Anyway, yes. Emma taking her son to the underworld to save the man who would've let him be dragged there by force is pretty abhorrent to me. But nobody really matters now unless it aids a ship. Emma will let Belle be fooled again, she'll take her son to a dangerous world of death, Robin will leave his new born baby, Snow and David will leave Neal... none of it matters, because shipping.

You know a fantasy villain that'd do well on the show these days? The Child Catcher. He'd have a field day with these neglectful idiots. He'd probably fill his cage to capacity before any of them quit making goo goo eyes at each other long enough to notice! This is hilariously true. The mantra of OUAT seems like villains usually always have bad parents that led them to the path of darkness. Neglecting your children is the first step to pushing your children to villainy.

Oh yeah, I'm surprised that so many people are trying to rationalize that it is alright to allow your 13 year old son to Underworld, especially in the same episode that Rumple said that it is an unpleasant place to go.

Even if they aren't forced to, it doesn't make a lick of sense to voluntarily save a murderous pirate. Even though several characters have expressed how much they don't like Hook, the writers have thrown over single character close to Emma under the bus to prop Hook by making them out of nowhere care for him. Mind boggling.
