Once Upon A Time S2E14 Family Reunion - Manhattan (HD)

Once Upon a Time

[joshuaplotkin]

I noticed something this time that I had not before. The pained look on Rumple's face when Henry walks in. The realization that his boy had a boy of his he never knew about. Like a family curse, every son grows up without a father.

"No, I came to make sure you didn't hurt her." AND IT'S MY APARTMENT!

[LeighMet]

How do you two know each other!
Henry "Mom"
Okay that's how they know each other

[MartialArtsCat]

I like how Henry actually jumps out the window when he finds out XD

[mexiaznann]

The thing that cracks me up about this scene is the fact that Henry literally called his mom Emma all the time but, of course, when the plot calls for it, he immediately calls her Mom lol

"You two know each other."

*Disgusted Rumple look*

*"You two know each other!"*

[GodessSiri]

I love when Neal busts through the door yelling 'Hey!' He's so determined to protect Emma but in the very next moment you see him thinking 'Crap! What am I doing? I'm confronting the guy Ive been terrified of since I was 14. Crap!' He's scared spitless but he steels himself and holds his ground because he's not going to let Emma suffer his father's wrath.

Hahah Rumple asked how do you know each other and then he figured it out the minute Henry said "mom" at shit got real

[hobyboy]

Everything is perfect in this scene. Perfect.

Without a line of dialouge the characters convey everything they're feeling, be it Rumple realizing Henry is his foretold grandson, Neal realizing that he had done the same thing to his son that his father had, and Emma's worst fears coming to light.

I see what they did here. Fireman Baelfire.

[drlee]

"Manhattan" has been the best episode of the entire series. I doubt it will ever be topped!

[dickgrayson]

That moment when Rumple realized Henry was his grandson...

[MasonPerry]

Rumple 1:24 he understood a whole minute before the rest of them.

[umbratrickster]

XD

Henry hates Emma.

Emma hates Baelfire and Rumple.

Baelfire hates Rumple.

And Rumple hates the whole world

What a fantastic family reunion

[fantacylandfilms]

*Me watching*
Bae comes into the room
Me: "Oh gosh"
Mr. Gold asks how they know each other
Me: "Oh gosh!
Henry comes into the room
Me: "Oh crud..."
O.O Most intense scene EVER.

[captiantimecanary]

"Mom! What's going on?!"
"W-Who's this?"
"My son."
"What?!"
"Is that Baelfire?"

I can't😭

[Alo-gpmk]

ELEVEN! Now, why is everyone yelling? HSHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[annieflynn]

there like having a life changing conversation and Rumple's just there in the background

[k.s.]

Years later, this is still my favorite scene.

ETA: Just checked back on this some more years later. Still watch it every once and a while, but I usually don't bother with the comments. Thanks for the likes! Of course, the acting is stellar, but this was also oz important to the plot, as established by that point. 2 years had been leading up to this, back when things were more planned out and cohesive.
Here's some things I can point out that make this my favorite.

I really enjoy 1:24 to 1:36. Rumple realizes first and gives a little finger wag. The shock probably silenced him long enough for Nealfire's realization. His impressive rage from just moments before had cooled. Poor Henry didn't get it until a bit later. The way he asked "Is that Baelfire?" was so innocent. Such a sharp contrast to the confusion and hurt he would feel shortly after. The range of emotions from Nealfire is great. The hand gesture at 2:19 is heartbreaking. I also really enjoy watching Emma the entire time. She was so much more resigned after Nealfire burst in, and she was already fairly guarded about having to lie to Gold. Probably knew this wasn't going to end well. The looks at 0:42 and 0:57 really cement it.

I love when rumple see henry said ahh yep he figure it out
