Jack Hubbard-Goose

Jack is Timothy's son, shown on a card with the line "Nimble & Quick" NA E1·01:27:23; in Timothy's flashback he is dead and the bones Timothy brings home are Jack's; Timothy says he saw Jack die, that a goose was involved, and that Jack had suddenly come into extra gold and talked of needing a third wish NA E1·01:19:56 NA E1·01:20:19 NA E1·01:20:28 NA E1·01:20:41. When Timothy writes Jack's name in the book and the nursery rhyme drives off the Gander, Brennan shows Jack in the pages, looking healthy and well NA E1·01:23:04 NA E1·01:26:34 NA E1·01:27:15. He says "Dad" and "I'm still here. I'm still here." NA E1·01:27:43 NA E1·01:27:48 Brennan says he runs faster than the wind and vanishes NA E1·01:28:04.

Jack lives on in Timothy's book, where an illustration shows him leaping to join King Cole on the table NA E5·01:33:58. Timothy points it out: "this is actually my son Jack, and he's never met King Cole" NA E7·00:20:15. In the web of Tuffeton the book opens to his rhyme, Jack Be Nimble, and he leaps out in golden light and lends Mother Goose a sudden spryness NA E6·00:12:19. He says "You got it, Dad." NA E6·00:13:07 When the Gander tears space open, Pib sees in the vortex a young man he has never seen NA E15·02:03:37. The young man cries "my dad, my dad. The golden goose, a golden egg." NA E15·02:04:01 Henry tells Timothy that after he died he saw "our Jack" again in a village called Hapley, in the book, with a king named Cole among his friends NA E17·00:14:12.

In Mother Goose's vision Brennan shows Jack making his wishes, the first to prove he was not "such a fuck-up" and the last for a way not to keep letting everyone down NA E18·01:35:34 NA E18·01:35:54. Pib finds this world's Jack, Timothy's son from the book's illustration, shivering in a giants' gibbet NA E18·01:53:35. Jack calls himself "a fucked up loser" NA E18·01:54:13. Brennan says the Jack the party fought was stitched into this world from some other Once Upon a Time, and that this sleeping Jack Be Nimble is Timothy's son NA E18·01:58:30. Jack says "Dad?", tells Timothy he went to the Land of Giants and sold a bunch of his parents' things for magic beans, and Henry stays with him because he is very sick NA E18·01:59:25 NA E18·01:59:39 NA E18·01:59:46 NA E18·02:04:53 NA E18·02:04:56.

In the epilogue Brennan says Jack, lightning fast, works as a messenger in Hapley and one day tells Timothy he traded the milk white cow for "something even better", a jet black Gander in a red bonnet NA E20·02:20:21 NA E20·02:20:56 NA E20·02:21:14. Jack tells Timothy "I love you both times too, Dad." NA E20·02:23:12
