Henry Mills Appreciation Post

I really liked today's episode. I'll probably get the review up either tomorrow or Tuesday. Since today's episode was Henry centric, I wanted to do a Henry appreciation post, In my opinion, Henry is the most unappreciated character in the show and fandom. I saw a post somewhere recently that they wished they would kill Henry off because he hasn't been important in the show since S1. I've thought about the show, and I've found that Henry actually has something to do with every arc/season:

Season 1: He’s the only reason Emma came to Storybrooke and stayed there in the first place. If he didn’t find Emma, would she have just randomly decided "You know, I think I’m going to drive to Maine for no reason at all.”

Emma broke the curse with her TLK with Henry.

Season 2: Regina decided to become good for and because of Henry.

Henry convinced Regina that Emma and Mary Margaret/Snow would come through the portal back from the Enchanted Forest instead of Cora.

Henry convinced Regina to not cast the memory curse on him.

Henry was the first to say that they shouldn’t leave Regina behind in the S2 finale.

3A: It was Regina’s relationship with Henry that made her able to break from the tree and get Henry’s heart out of Pan.

Regina giving Henry up is what made her able to stop Pan’s curse.

3B: Regina’s TLK with Henry broke the curse in this half.

4A: Him talking to Belle in the winter finale led him to knocking objects off the shelf at Gold’s shop which led Belle to finding the gauntlet which led her to saving Hook’s heart from being crushed and banishing Rumple from the town.

4B: Him saving the town from from the Alternate Universe.
