I am really looking forward to the next episode!
The scene with Mary Margaret and Regina was great. I like how MM is very… perceptive, you know? She sees that Regina isn’t pure evil(but hey, there aren’t any pure evil characters on this show anyway), she understands that Regina is lonely, and that’s what’s behind the evil things she does.
And I just love the scene with Geppeto and Pinocchio! It was just so good, and I really like the music in that scene too. I like how they portray Pinocchio. He really loves his father and doesn’t want him to sacrifice his life so Pinocchio can survive. And it also reminds me why I think Pinocchio is one of the most heart-breaking movies of all time. These two people going through so much to get back to each other and not wanting to lose each other.
I am also looking forward to how the custody battle will go. I agree with what was said on the podcast for The Return. Maybe neither Emma or Regina will get custody of Henry. That could be. I can easily imagine that the two would just keep throwing accusations at each other and in the end put themselves in a bad light. And it’s pretty clear to me that Mr. Gold will play a significant role, even if he at first denies wanting to do anything.
