Once Upon A Time Recap Season 1 Episode 20 August Is Pinocchio Hollywood Life

Still eager to build a case against Regina (Lana Parrilla) so she could get Henry back, Emma looked to Mr. Gold (Robert Carlyle) for help. But he refused to take Emma’s case, pushing her instead towards August, the only person who could really help her. Because August was sick, and everyone in Storybrooke is stuck there until Emma truly believes and defeats the Evil Queen, he’s determined to push her towards faith. (And wouldn’t every girl want to be convinced to believe in magic by a cute man who rides a motorcycle?)

To make Emma believe, August took Emma to the diner where, according to a newspaper article, she was found as a baby; And the next stop was the magical tree where August found Emma after she’d been transported from the fairytale world. Because Emma remains in denial about all of the magic talk, she couldn’t even see that August was slowly reverting back into his wooded state. Loaded with more responsibility than she could handle, Emma — along with Henry — decided to attempt the impossible: leave Storybrooke.

If they want to break the curse, Henry and August only have a short time to convince Emma to accept her destiny — but I have a feeling that Henry was right in tonight’s episode when he firmly told Regina that “good WILL win!”
