Shouldn’t Snow (and Emma!) have known this was a baaaad baaad idea considering what happened with Emma & Lily?
That’s a really great point (and one I totally forgot about while watching and even re-watching). Yes, the Baby!Lily!Egg debacle should have clued Snow in that you can’t split off darkness and kill it–it has to go somewhere.
If Lily comes back for one scene only in season six, I want it to be some agast/snarky reaction to the return of the Evil Queen, and her and Mal blowing out of that town 😀
