Favourite:
Sidney standing up to Regina- Finally!
Will- I like seeing Will but wish they’d actually give him something to do.
The SwanFire photo- It was a nice acknowledement of Neal and I actually wonder if they are planning something since we seem to be getting a lot of Neal references.
Charming- Aside for that idiotic comment in 401, Charming is one of my favourite regulars after Rumple and Belle. I like how he is the more rational one in the Snowing relationship.
Mixed:
Regina- The only reason she’s not in the dislikes is because I understand she’s upset hence why she doesn’t want to be BFFs with Emma. However, therein lies the problem. Marian wasn’t just wondering the forest when Emma brought her back, REGINA was going to kill her. Regina is defining her happiness solely as being with Robin and that is a really unhealthy way to look at it. She sees Marian as an inconvenience not as a person. Regina seems to think bringing back Marian will prove her love to Robin and it’s just wrong. Also Regina was quite bullying towards Sidney and not even in a fun EQ way. Why can’t we get a scene of Regina saying to Emma something like “Why didn’t you release her in the forest instead of bringing her back here?” then Emma explaining that she couldn’t then Regina realising that Emma was right even though she’s not happy about it rather than being all whiny with “Emma! You took away my happy ending by bringing back the woman I was going to murder! wah wah wah!” Regina needs to stop whining, move on, and show that she’s still the strong independent person she was in 3A before she ever met Robin.
Hook being the one to rifle through Emma’s childhood memories box- He did ask Emma’s permission and she gave it but it felt like that should’ve been an alone moment for Emma where she’s going through her past, not having someone do it for her. Good job that kid took Emma’s camera otherwise Emma would still have no clue who the snow queen was.
Least Favourite:
No Rumple or Belle- Belle was in for about 2 seconds but she’s not really been used so far this season. Hopefully next week’s episode changes that.
Photos- The photos we saw being screenshots from earlier episodes rather than actual proper photos.
All magic comes with a price!
