This episode was amazing!
Favorite Moments:
-Snow and Charming’s afternoon delight. 
😆
-Mr. Gold and Belle’s picnic (even though it got interrupted by a Storybrooke crisis…again)
-The big reveal that Archie was actually alive! THANK YOU JESUS!
-The first scene between Regina and Emma. Not because it was sweet, but because it was just so deliciously awkward.
-Seeing Rumpelstiltskin again. We haven’t seen him in his usual impish form since “The Doctor.”
-The scene between Snow and Regina in her cell. I loved how Snow was willing to give Regina a second chance to redeem herself. Too bad she didn’t take it though.
-Regina’s almost-execution scene. I loved how unrepentant and dramatic she was in that scene. And I loved the way Rumpel lurked in the background like a demon in the shadows.
-THE PROMO!!! 😮 😮 😮
Least Favorite Moments:
-Cora being Cora. I hated that she framed Regina for Archie’s “murder.” That was beyond cruel.
-Hook’s kind of dense. “Why did you cloak my ship?” Dude…so Rumpel doesn’t jump out of nowhere and blast you into a million pieces THAT’S WHY! 😆
-Too much of the same old Regina sob story. It’s becoming a bit suffocating. But I did enjoy seeing her as her usual sexy Evil Queen self again. Her costumes in this episode were pretty amazing too.
-Not enough Belle. I’m hoping the writers correct this error with next week’s episode.
Loved this episode! It had a perfect balance of all our main characters and the actors were magnificent. Lana Parilla, Robert Carlyle and Ginnifer Goodwin in particular. 😉
