I thought the episode was Okay. I would give it a 6 out of 10
Liked:
Snow and Regina talk, this is what the show is supposed to be about “family”
I liked that Zelena was so self aware that she understood that she was upset that Regina took away the part of her that she felt she could relate to, and maybe even the thought process that even though Regina was also the evil queen she could still be redeemed. I wonder if Zelena is scared that she can’t be redeemed and still have the “wickedness” inside of her. I mean after all that is kind of what the show is saying right now. Regina can’t be totally redeemed with the “evil queen” inside her, Rumple can’t be redeemed with the “darkness” inside him.
I liked that Rumple is still being honest, even though I don’t feel he is getting credit for it. He has been brutally honest with Belle ever since he stated to her that he would love her with courage and honesty at the end of 5A. I also liked the dance scene even if we only got to see them be happy for like 10 seconds.
I like Mr. Hyde, I am not sure why yet but I like him he is intriguing
Mixed:
Belle seeing the castle as scary and dark, she started thinking Rumple wasn’t scary and dark even before Robin Hood scene (which was pretty early on in the relationship) so I am not buying it.
Why was Snow White the only one carting around a bow and arrows and who did she think she was going to shoot
Everyone just ending up in the woods, why don’t they ever land I don’t know in the middle of town
Disliked:
Regina blaming Zalena for Robin’s death. I agree with Zalena that if it was anyone’s fault (other than Hades) it would be Emma. OK maybe it is not completely Emma’s fault but I am really tired of her and all the other “heroes” getting off the hook for all their bad decisions. It is annoying.
I want an explanation of why Morphius already hates Rumple I also hate that Belle does not feel that Rumple has any say in their child (which they created together) sorry guys if you decide to create a child together you need to decide how to raise it together in most circumstances.
