I do not think the writer’s were going for this type of reaction…
I did not like that such a large number of them could think of killing the man GREG. I do not care if he was an outsider to even THINK some of the things they said about killing the man shows them as weak and helpless. If they have magic give him a “forgetting spell.” Make Gold / Regina put a barrier that will keep unexpected people out…
And who the HECK delivers groceries and goods to this town?? When will that question be answered??
