It’s wasn’t anything to fly over the moon about, but it was just enough to keep me interested.

Diversity, diversity, and diversity!
Alice snapping at Henry about people only knowing her adventure to Wonderland. I don’t know what it was, but that moment made her an instant favorite of mine….there’s definetly a lot to discover about her, and she’s one of my top four reasons why I’m staying aboard.
Tiana!!!! She didn’t have a lot of screen time this episode, but I’m looking forward to getting to know her! Her comment about frog legs was unexpected, but highly delightful!!
Adult Henry: I’m going to miss Jared so much, and for me…he’ll always be Henry Daniel Mills, but Andrew J. West is literally the best guy to take the mantle. There’s something enjoyable about him, I think it’s because he manages to pull off being believable as Adult Henry, but his performance in the character….I notice spot on traits that Henry may have developed from both, Regina and Emma….it’s strange, but it works.
And plus, I can definetly tell that RegalBeliever is alive and well because Lana and Andrew managed to pull off some mother/son connection at the bar. And I could definetly see it when Lady Tremaine was quote on quote, giving Henry advice, and Roni looked like she was ready to pounce on her Mama Bear Style. So I’m happy to have Andrew aboard.
And I simply love Roni! She’s literally a laid back, jazzy version of Supergirl’s Cat Grant and I’m here for it!
Mixed:
Cinderella….hmmm…I don’t know what it is, but I’m a little conflicted. It was new that the Prince turned into a villain, however I also feel at the same time it was a little extra and unnecessary. It could have been as simple as Cinderella falling in love with Henry before she met the prince.
Cinderella and Henry….I felt in the beginning of the episode, their first meeting and what not was a little forced but around the ball scene and the bar scene at Roni’s….it felt more relaxed and a tad more natural.
RIP Fairy God Mother
Disliked:
Choice dialogue…okay Adam & Eddy, everything doesn’t have to be spoken in fairy tale riddles!
We’ll never get an answer to this, because Adam & Eddy literally said they never bothered to come up with a solution….but how does a motorcycle run without gas and how does Henry have service in the New Realm? Literally, someone, come up with a Headcannon for this to make sense, please!
Lady Tremaine is literally a Wal-Mart brand of Mayor Mills, and I’m not here for it! They couldn’t give her, her own personality than just ripping off Season 1?!
I literally felt like this episode was a remix version of the pilot, and I just feel it could have been better.
