Minu and Art had suggest Thorin getting lost on his way to the shire yet again.
minumi: Thorin’s come, thinking, he’ll get Bilbo to return with him BUT— Bilbo’s got little Frodo beside him when he answers the door. Imagine what he’d think? He would have NO idea Frodo is his nephew
Thorin thinks he’s missed his chance - lost his One.
And even when he realises he hasn’t, Bilbo is settled in the Shire once again, and with a child in the equation - Thorin’s plan to whisk him away is not going to work out anymore.
