Um, not much really. I think this may be the first Rumple flashback I’ve actively disliked.
Murky
I’m not enthralled by the Gideon story. I did sort of like that Rumple took on more darkness (again at this point why not) to keep his son from doing it. But in general this isn’t working for me that well.
Disliked
I continue to be uninterested in Wish Robin and Regina in general.
Hook should just put on his big boy pants and tell Emma the truth. She’ll forgive him and forget all about it in two days. The whole family is ridiculously forgetful about all the bad things their friends do.
The retcon of Baelfire does not work. It was utterly out of character for him to force his father to kill someone, even a scummy guy like Beowulf.
