People keep hating on Snow for making this decision but really, think about it, if you were rulers of a kingdom and you had the choice of ensuring your own happiness versus sacrificing it by waiting longer to get it so your people can be free and happy, would you really be able to live with yourself knowing you chose your own happiness while your people are left suffering? I think Snow made the right decision. Sure it caused Emma to grow up miserably but she had to think of her people and her friends. She believed Emma would have a happy childhood and grow up strong and happy. She couldn't have known Emma would have such a tough upbringing.

I'm just gonna throw out there that technically David could have gone through the door alone. Snow & Rumple would've went back under the curse & David eventually would've been presumed dead. Meanwhile David would be raising Emma by himself, making sure she wasn't alone and Emma would've grown up knowing the truth. Of course Henry probably wouldn't exist, which would change the story entirely, but clearly there was an alternative path.

[@Qpwoeiruty-tn2mb]

Many of these comments are saying how this was a good move or a sacrifice, but it wasn’t. They shouldn’t have abandoned Emma, they should have went through the door. The Charmings could have raised Emma and helped her find Storybrooke and break the curse. They choose being heroes, rulers, others over their child. A child who needed them and didn’t ask or have any knowledge of the destiny that has been thrown at and forced on them. Yes, the people of Storybrooke would have still been cursed, but they would still be frozen in time, meaning they will live long enough for Emma to grow up and break the curse and they would be reunited with their loved ones. Emma’s fate was woven into the curse, she was always been to break it, if raised by snowing a lot of things would have changed, but the curse would have still been broken just with Emma being raised with love.

[@agnbusiness567]

Exactly. They abandoned her to an abusive childhood just so she could clean up their mess. People screaming Henry, when the charming didn't even bring up him as a reason to not save her from all that. Just "save the town". They don't deserve her. That decision is pure selfishness. They didn't even try and think of a way around not abandoning her. Just "oh well she'll be fine. We need her to save everyone. "

[@animebrat76]

This is too heartbreaking. Snow and charming had a chance, a fricken chance to give Emma a happy life, a loving family, to explain everything, to fix everything before it would’ve been so broken it would’ve been easier for Emma to have ran away instead and she was tempted to so many times in the show. Finally, Emma wouldn’t have felt so alone in the world anymore. This scene made me cry. These two are not just parents but Royals, they had to choose between themselves and their happiness or the future of their people. Leaders make sacrifices for their people.

I dont understand why Snow or David couldn't have gone through the door in this scene and raised Emma as a single parent until she turned 28 and came to Storybrooke to break the curse. In the very first episode of season 1, the plan all along was for Snow to go through the wardrobe and raise Emma alone. How would one or both of them going through the door here prevent the curse from ever being broken?

[@bekkybar8948]

This is nearly the exact same situation Fiona/ the Dark Fairy was in, when she wanted to protect her son/ Rumple by cursing every other child, just to keep him from diing when he fullfils his destiny. She chose to put her own happiness over everyone elses including her sons and with that created the one thing that was going to destroy everything. She became the dark fairy. So in a way it's really nice to see them in a similar situation and not making the same mistake.

[@aidsvlekje8566]

Mhm, you can never have both happiness and both power. As example take rumple and Baelfire. He had to go through centuries to have both, and yet still lose his son.

[@cybercriminal3110]

Moments like this make me remember how many lives has Regina destroyed. And they still forgave her, and not just her, but the Evil Queen as well. With all due respect, I don't think she deserved it, no matter the reasons and her likeability. Losing the opportunity to raise your child is above all morals. Poor David.

[@sergeantzack1106]

Regina and the evil queen are one in the same it's a fact she doesn't deserve it she's a monster the fact everyone forgives her is the most disgusting and horrible thing I have ever seen

[@swanprincess2025]

This scene just brings me to tears, first time they see her and they can’t be with her

[@ellisk8139]

It's the little girl from Gifted! I love that actress. This scene is one of those few really good moments of OUAT

[@saravlogsz]

yeah!! totally agree with you

[@Error-rp6ok]

1:34 “Snow white is a hero, who wouldn’t let anyone suffer just to get what she wants”. yeah but she made Emma suffer :( by not going through that door. 😔

[@miraculousedits2529]

It’s pretty clear that David was more of a parent to her than snow. He cared about his daughters happiness more than snow did, and throughout the seasons snow was more of a friend than a mother. It’s not her fault, but still.

[@DJ-wr1uo]

Psycho Edits i always felt like David was more of a father and Snow treated Emma more like a friend too. I think it’s because Snow couldn’t deal with the fact that Emma didn’t need a mom in the way Snow wanted.

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

Snow did the right thing. If they went through Emma wouldn't be the strong and smart savior she became, she would've never had Henry, never would've saved the town, saved Regina...etc. It sucks but it was the right decision. Her destiny was bigger than being JUST Snow and Charmings daughter.

[@The_Memorial]

@@miraculousedits2529 mothers raise, fathers protect. Snow lost his chance yet david still has it. But snow took the hard way and i get it. Thousands of people who u know and care would be miserable because u couldnt wait just a bit longer, sure they lost emma but they got back, henry, regina, baby neal etc.

[@jamiehorne1173]

I like alternate stories cuz you know the story could be where they did go through or one of them went through. Are there could be a storyline where Regina decided to adopt a child after she met that little boy is sad. She ends up adopting Emma. That's the funny thing about alternate realities it has so many different choices in life that could make even fun stories.

[@rentheenbypal4111]

I have to watch this again

[@ambercrosland6472]

Charming was more sad that they never got the chance to see Emma grow up because Emmas destiny was too become the savior snow was right if they went through the door it would have changed Emma's destiny to be the savior .

[@audreytamio3359]

When they shut the door... 😢😭😭😭😭

[@kiythm16]

Snow believed in giving her daughter her BEST chance. Not only as a child, under a curse, but to become the greatest hero ever! Snow’s compassion but morality is her Achilles heel, she believes in the RIGHT, AND BEST CHOICE. Her daughter found some much more, by becoming the Savior than being just Emma.

[@luisdiaspires7618]

Ouat is so much better than got and other shows

[@TheAljnaz]

I like both shows but I had to say "you know nothing.."

[@luisdiaspires7618]

I Know a lot because I watch many tv shows and I´m speaking not about storyline, plot or even cgi. I´m telling that the best argument (if you know what it means) is Ouat´s. The idea and the concept of the show is terrific you dont find something like that in any other tv show. GOT won many awards but talking about concept, it´s just another Lord Of The Rings...

[@sabrinatodd817]

Luís Dias Oh please GoT is nothing compared to ouat

[@jaythe90skyd49]

Luís Dias I agree that OUAT's concept is much more unique than GOT but the writing in OUAT went down hill after season 3A and is just now starting to get its mojo back in s7. GOT has kind of kept consistency in good writing. Of course because its fairly shorter in length per season than OUAT, its delivery is gonna be better because you don't have as much filler eps as OUAT does. So its really hard to compare the two.

[@shreyasingh117]

Once Upon a Time is unique but it should have had shorter seasons in my opinion. They stretch the storyline too much to make it upto 22-23 episodes. If they kept it concise, this show would have been something else. GOT was the best show I have ever seen till season 4. The actors and the writing is phenomenal. But the writing just went downhill from S5. 🙁 Having said that, I still would say GOT has an edge over OUAT. The CGI and budget of GOT is way better than OUAT and let's face it the acting on GOT is way better than on OUAT (with the exception of Lana Parilla as Regina. She is awesome).

[@sophiapierce2605]
