I Really liked this episode! I give it a 8.9/10
Liked:
Alice/Tilly is so much fun. I haven’t felt this excited about a character since Rumple in season 1. The actress is outstanding I mean when she feels upset, sad, excited, happy, whatever I feel the exact same way for her.
Alice and Hook’s relationship is really growing on me. I mean when I first found out, I thought it was a stupid ploy to try and get us anti-hook fans to like him, well guess what is kinda worked I don’t hate Nook.
I enjoyed the sisterly moments between Regina and Zelena this episode.
I could care less if it is not end game I totally ship Ivy and Henry
Alice quoting Nook with a very profound “You meet loads of people in this world but the best ones will challenge you, make you see the world through a whole new looking glass” Loved this quote, loved the moment between Alice and Robyn. Probably why I tend to ship villains with good hearted mates that can help them see redemption as an option.
Mixed/Disliked:
So I am trying to figure out the timeline of when Regina and Facilier were somehow a couple. So Facilier and Zelena know each other? So is this from the EF2 or before, because Zelena and Regina did not officially meet until Season 3 when Regina was getting together with Robin Hood and was definitely on the road to redemption from Evil Queen. Really should have just had them meet in EF2.
Regina why would you send your granddaughter into a person’s house you do not trust to snoop around. I mean Lucy is what 12? Bad Grandma move.
Why would Facilier want Rumple’s dagger? Just seems random. I would hope despite their twisted past that Regina would not betray Rumple in that way, I am not so sure about Zelena but Regina who she is now would not do that. Actually even in season 1 or 2 I don’t think Regina would do it, she has always had an I can mess with him but no one else can attitude.
I remember in season 2 after Cora’s death Rumple and Regina having a conversation where Rumple says “you still haven’t learned your lesson, you can’t have everything.” Those words come back to haunt villains all the time. Rumple obviously didn’t take his own advice several times between season 4-6. That quote came back this episode with Regina and Facilier when Facilier tells Regina or you can have everything. That always means trouble on OUAT.
