I thought about that, but this episode made me wonder if they're setting Henry up to follow in Regina's path. Taking the easy way out, wanting to use magic to solve everything, putting his desires above the feelings and considerations of others. He's been a lonely, angry child for a long time, so it's not a far reach. Of course that's balanced by the presence of Emma, Snow, and Charming, as well as the fact that Henry's mission has kept him occupied for the side of light. It'd be interesting to see the show take him to a darker place of temptation, even with that support.
But I don't really trust the series to be that nuanced, so....
