This episode was really random, in my opinion. Just out of nowhere Henry and Ella have a child. We haven’t even seen them fall in love yet. Then they just skip eight years later. Why did they keep that statue in their castle? Why did they not remember the prophecy?
Regina’s throw away line about the timeline is just the writers being jerks. They are terrible about details and terrible about world building and they just don’t care. That stuff matters. What makes a story good is the details.
Rumpel being imp like was really random. I, also, thought that maybe he was a second Rumpel for a moment.
They didn’t explain why Drizella was suddenly attacking Ella and Henry. They didn’t explain why Tremaine was helping them stop her. They didn’t explain where Zelena and Robyn were.
Lucy being unconscious seems to have to do with Anastasia being awake and Lucy’s belief being gone, so why they are connecting that to the curse and Henry’s poisoning does not make a lot of sense. They should be able to save Lucy without breaking the curse.
I almost feel like this should have been the second episode of the season and then they should have filled in some details over the half of a season. I am not really convinced that this half had a plot.
