Short answer: For me, fiction needs to be internally consistent. It has to have some level of plausibility within the context of the story and world it inhabits. I am an atheist which means I don’t just accept things on faith alone. And that’s what the writers gave us tonight; an episode that said, “just accept this plot turn on faith, we cannot offer any rational explanation.” I can suspend my disbelief for Fantasy and Sci-Fi stories because they can be written with plausibility and consistency within their world.

And so, Bae meeting Emma on blind luck alone is so implausible it broke my belief in the story.

You don’t believe in faith? Then why are you watching this series in the first place? The whole point of the series is faith, fate and destiny. That’s the whole point of Fairy Tales in the first place. Good wins,evil loses, destiny happen, those who meant to be together, will be no matter what. And that’s what happened. Personally, and I think at least half the board is with me here, I saw it coming from a mile away. It’s what fairy tales are about.
