LOST Connections

I note many detailed LOST connections within each ONCE episode. But here you'll see a list of some examples of LOST connections that show up in ONCE Upon A Time, so check out each ONCE Upon A Time episode for many more.

The residents of Storybrooke are lost and are on a journey trying to get to the heart of the matter- to heal their broken selves, learn to let go of a painful past, to find out who they truly are- allow themselves to love, and to find their way home.  Keep in mind that family is deeply valued and Hope is something to hold on to.
