I have to go with Skin Deep on this one. I loved the flashbacks of Tallahassee, they were beyooooooond fantastic… but the fairytale present fell mostly flat for me. I think Jorge Garcia was overhyped, unfortunately. He wasn’t given much to do in the episode and the CGI made all the Giant scenes as laughable as the opening scene from 1×06 – The Shepherd. Skin Deep, while not my favourite episode, was pretty definitive of Once Upon a Time for me. The flashback was given great focus, but the main storyline was interesting and heart-wrenching all on it’s own, and the twist at the end is one of my favourites in the series. If I look at it scene-per-scene Skin Deep will still win: The Queen/Rumpel scene at the end where he confirms he knows who he is? Amazing; The scene where he beats Moe with the cane? Amazing… Tallahassee is awesome, but Skin Deep reigns.
