Talk:When You Wish Upon a Well/@comment-5646665-20140711233939/@comment-5879304-20140717004708

one of the following

1. he wished that he found true love, enter Miranda

2. he used it to save one of his kids, lets say that his 1st wife and one of the kids died, he found the well and his wish was "please bring back Amber/James." without realizing that ONLY his kid would return to life.

OR

3. he made a harder choice the life of one of his kids for the life of his 1st wife. say one of his kids had died, he wished for that kid to return but by doing so it changed something else that somehow killed his 1st wife (think of the episode of Smallville that Clark changed history and his father died instead of Lana )

NOTE: I'm calling James/Amber's Mother his wife, even though there is no proof that he was married before Miranda
