Regina’s message *didn’t* actually say “I don’t want to see you.” That’s just how Henry interpreted it, remember? Emma corrected him. I think she said something more along the lines of “You’re better off staying away right now.”
Glad to see others here who loved the episode! Sometimes I enjoy when the show gets a little campy- I like the lighter episodes. 🙂 Snow’s electricity stint was meant to be comic relief- if she just called an expert and let them do it, we’d have a rather boring scene.
I also almost enjoyed CS here. They still aren’t my favorite, but it’s amazing how much more likable Hook has become since S2.
