Emma was an idiot all episode long. Snow says don’t trust Cora, Emma says “hey guess what, I share a son with your daughter!” Emma is told Ogres hunt by sound, Emma shoots her gun, etc. It got real old real fast. Her attitude towards the people who actually knew what they were talking about made her look like a brat.
Emma doing all that, really showing her short comings just really empowered Snow for me, it had me going kind of nuts like “listen to your mom!” Considering she’s in a land she’s never been and is used to being able to handle herself it’s not unreasonable that there would be some growing pains. For her to finally get that she needs to defer to Snow and why she sent her away in the wardrobe and that scene in the nursery made the episode for me. That, the Charming fight scene where he totally lays out all those knights, plus when Snow go Legolas on that Ogre all really made this episode great for me.

Henry – Takes advantage of his mothers love for him, skips school, refuses to ever mind his own business. Never suffers any consequences for anything he does.
Well I wouldn’t say getting Emma and Snow back is none of his business and I think Charming sees that dismissing Henry’s attempts to help will lead him to think he has to do things on his own which will actually just end up with Henry putting himself in more dangerous situations. It’s something that hasn’t changed since last season, when he went into the mine shaft, when he ate the poison apple turnover. Henry is really stubborn kind of runs in the family and actually letting Henry help in some capacity will at least allow David to keep his grandson safe. Seeing Henry take advantage of Regina also wasn’t a favorite part of mine really I felt awful for Regina I know she’s the Evil Queen but here she is doing something from the heart letting Henry be with his grandfather, trying to redeem herself and then something really heartbreaking like this happens… worst of all she couldn’t even go herself to make sure Henry was safe she had to ask David. How horrible must that be?
