I agree with everything Rumple’s Girl said. I liked some of this episode and felt irritated by other parts of it. All in all I would give it a 7/10
Wow, it took us five years but the biggest and ambiguous prophecy in the show’s history finally comes back full circle. I don’t know if the writers intended this all along or they realized that the prophecy never really got resolved so they decided to bring it back now but at least it’s fully answered.
I think the writers thought that they resolved it, but us fans did not so that left a loop hole for them to revisit and I am glad they did.

Robert Carlyle!!!!!!
“The timelines alone would make one’s head spin.” LOL!
Loved that quote, great shout out to the fans.
Rumple and Nook working together, actually all the characters working together.
I hate the wish realm, but if they are going to bring it back into play I am glad they are addressing the fact that Henry watched his grandparents being murdered and his mother being stolen by Regina.
Nook and Tilly were heartbreaking and sweet, I really love their daughter/father relationship
Mixed:
t’s always good to see Peter Pan, Cruella, Ariel, Blue, ect again even if the Wish Realm is weird and the only reason it’s being featured now is because the writers want to trot out the fan favorites before the end.
Agreed!!!
I loved seeing imp Rumple even if I don’t agree with the writers of his thought process. So let me get this correct, if Real Rumple passes on the dark one dagger to the guardian or whoever both him and Wish Rumple looses their immortality and power (darkness)? Which means they should merge into one and therefore both would get back to Belle if he finds a way to get rid of the dagger? What the writers are forgetting is that Wish Rumple had Belle, she lived in his castle, was his maid, and he let her go. The entire Belle and Rumple story in EF should be the same as the wish realm version, So they are telling us that he has no desire to get back to her? That this Rumple who spent 200 years trying to get back to the only other person he has loved, Bae would just suddenly say oh well. Our Real Rumple as soon as Belle walked into his shop after he thought she was dead for 30 years wanted her back, why is this one different. He has a chance of getting back to both his son and Belle why would he not want to take that? I know everyone else is assuming he is just the “beast” because he did not have Bae to fight for and maybe I can see that but I still don’t buy that he would just revert back to not wanting Belle and possibly getting back to Bae in the afterworld.
Henry and Cruella’s sword fight was really just cheesy and pointless.
Disliked:
Doesn’t Wish Henry know that Dark One Rumple is his grandfather? And doesn’t Dark One Rumple know that Wish Henry is his grandson?
Exactly!!! and our Henry doesn’t he realize that Wish Rumple is still his grandfather and doesn’t wish Rumple know that real Henry is his grandson. That exchange was really odd. I get that Henry would be weary of Wish Rumple but he was out and out aggressive before any words were exchanged and did not try and reason with him at all.
Sabine and whatever his name is: The fact that I can’t remember either his cursed or non cursed name says something. At this point in time they need to sideline any characters who are not central to the story and they definitely did not develop Sabine enough to be central.
Ella/Jacinda: Her facial expressions are really bad. They are either over exaggerated or completely wrong. In the snow globe it looked like she was actually smiling?
