ONCE UPON A TIME FAMILY TREE
Sunday, January 27, 2013
Lets break this down.
1) Charming and Snow had a baby, Emma. As Charming and Snow were trapped in a curse in Storybrooke for 28 years, they have not aged. This makes them the same age as Emma, their daughter.
2) Who has a child herself, ten year old Henry (sorry, ELEVEN as he kindly informed us all in the shouting match that was Manhattan). So, 30ish year old Charming and Snow are not just parents to a 28 year old, they are also grandparents to her ten eleven year old kid.
3) Lets also note that Regina is Henry's adoptive mother. In the fairytale world, Regina married Snow's father. This makes her Snow's step-mother, therefore making her Emma's step-grandmother and Henry's step-great-grandmother.
Are you lost yet? I am.
4) We can, of course, take this further. Neal Cassidy is Henry's father.Rumours are circulating that Neal could in fact be Bae, Rumple's son. If this is true, that would then make Rumplestiltskin Henry's grandfather. Neal is Bae. Which therefore makes Rumple Henry's grandfather because, sorry Charming, it is possible to have two grandfathers, even if you did want to be the only one. (Best Charming comment, ever).
5) This together then makes Henry not only Emma's son, but also her step-uncle. I think. I'm so lost.
Just for fun, lets take an even deeper look at these messed up relationships.
6) Rumple's true love is Belle. If they were to marry, she would become Henry's step-grandmother.
7) Milah was also Henry's grandmother. Milah was in love with Hook. He could have therefore been Henry's step-grandfather and Neal's step-father, had she not died. And Hook really wanted to be Neal's step father... not to mention he seems quite up for a roll around the deck with Emma.
8) And let's not forget Cora, the Queen of Hearts. She is Henry's adoptive Grandmother and step-great-great grandmother? And she also had a little thing with Rumple, Henry's grandfather on the other side. Could it be anymore complicated?
Must be so much fun to be Henry. Imagine explaining that to your friends.
"Snow White is my nan. The evil queen is my mum/step-great-gran and Rumplestiltskin is my grandad."
Yeah.
Best. Family unit. Ever.
**EDIT**
Well, it turns out, it can be so much more complicated. After Sunday night's episode, we now know that Peter Pan is actually Rumple's dad. Making him Henry's Great Grandfather, even though he's a teenager. Except he's not really a teenager at all. My head is spinning. Is there anyone in this show who isn't related to Henry?
