Liked (short version): Belle being adorable with baby Neal.
Disliked (short version): Belle not getting a single line in the entire episode. Yes, yes, I know next week’s her centric, but she’s a REGULAR and she’s being treated as background noise! This is what leads to regulars not even being on the show anymore! DISLIKE DISLIKE DISLIKE!

–The ice bridge actually made me catch my breath from the pretty.
–Hook seeing the pic of Neal and Emma together and actually registering some emotion about it. Seeing that pic made me pretty emotional, too, Hook dearie.
–Snow writing a whole beautiful story about what Charming didn’t do. It made me laugh and I love how Will just goes along with it perfectly. I do enjoy having Will on the show; I just wish they’d get to how he matters.
Dislikes:
–The relationship with Lily was awesome Emma backstory and we’ve had far too little of that, and the actors were great–young Emma is pretty much perfect. But I felt like it wasn’t the most relevant story we could have gotten to pair with the current present arc (I could be wrong, because I have no clue at all where they’re taking us right now), and there is just so much more I want to see (you know, like Belle? More of her would be nice. Any of her would be nice). If Lily was just a one-off character and we don’t see her again in whatever’s up with DQ, it will feel super irrelevant…if she’s still involved later, then I’ll take it back.
–Not only hardly any Belle, but no Henry and this also seemed to be RC’s usual week off. *sigh* I love the other characters, too, and Elsa was awesome, but…I do have my faves. And they didn’t get to play.
