tony amendola
in the enchanted forest, as pinocchio (jakob davies) and geppetto (tony amendola) fight the storm on the raft in the ocean, the whale that had swallowed them, monstro, passes them and tilts their raft. in an effort to save each other, geppetto tells him to take the life jacket, but pinocchio refuses, jumps into the water, and tells geppetto to save himself. the following morning, geppetto washes up on shore and discovers that pinocchio saved him as the lifeless puppet boy lies face-down in the water. as geppetto weeps at the loss of his son, the blue fairy (keegan connor tracy) appears, saying he can still save him and uses her wand to turn him into a real boy. as the blue fairy wishes them well and to live their lives as a family, she tells pinocchio to remain brave, truthful and unselfish - so long as he does that, he will always remain a real boy. days later, the blue fairy returns to tell geppetto about the evil queen's (lana parrilla) curse as he is the only one who can help. she then takes geppetto to the last enchanted tree in the realm, which if made into a wardrobe will protect the savior (referring to emma) from the curse. however, when the blue fairy tells him the wardrobe will be built for only two people, snow white, (ginnifer goodwin) still pregnant with her daughter, and prince charming, geppetto refuses and tells her that he will only create the wardrobe if pinocchio can go through, too. jiminy (raphael sbarge) disagrees and argues, telling him that he cannot bargain with her, but geppetto eventually wins the argument after reminding jiminy that he has no right to tell him what to do after what jiminy did that caused geppetto's parents to be turned into dolls, when geppetto was just a young boy. during the first meeting of the war council, whose members include snow white, prince charming, red, granny, and some others, the blue fairy lies to the council that there will be room for only one in the wardrobe as geppetto looks down at pinocchio with a caring look.
the stranger (once upon a time)
geppetto insists that pinocchio was not a success at all, and the fairy jumps ahead in time to learn more of the story ("rise and shine"). geppetto teaches pinocchio a song ("geppetto and son"), but a meeting with the townspeople does not go smoothly when pinocchio asks the wrong questions. the two again travel forward in time ("rise and shine #2") to when geppetto tries to teach pinocchio how to be a toymaker ("geppetto and son: part 2"), but pinocchio is uninterested, so geppetto dismisses this idea. they then travel forward in time ("rise and shine #3") to pinocchio's first day of school, where geppetto tells him he'll be fine, as long as he acts like everyone else at school ("geppetto and son: part 3"). however, pinocchio gets into a fight, in which he was imitating all of the other schoolchildren and is sent home for this. on the way home, they meet an unsuccessful puppeteer named stromboli who immediately becomes interested in pinocchio, thinking he would be worth a fortune to him in his puppet show. geppetto sends pinocchio home and the blue fairy frightens stromboli away. pinocchio is extremely upset when he overhears geppetto telling the fairy that he doesn't want him and runs away. the fairy informs geppetto that the "problem" isn't pinocchio. it's geppetto himself. he angrily dismisses her, but she assures that these things have a way of working themselves out ("when you wish upon a star (reprise)").
