Favorite moments:
1) RED!–OMG, she had speaking lines, she brought up that Regina’s hurt them (no whitewashing, yes to redemption!) and that she would feel sorry/worried for her.2) OUTLAW QUEEN: though, the flying monkey was kinda creepy to me but hey, I guess Roland’s a tough lad. Maybe he can play with the monkey with the puppet-parents in Gepetto’s shop (going off the idea that monkey was a person or sentient creature like fairy/dwarf level ).
3) WICKED SISTERS: I’ve been forwarding all my cookies to WIcked Regal anyway for awhile now, but confirmed.
4) RUMPLE LIVES: Yes
5) STAR TREK SHOUT OUT: “I”m a doctor not a vet!”–how long I have waited for Whale to do the “I’m a doctor not a…”. I’m happy. It’s the little things.
6) Other stuff: I loved Emma saying Neal wouldn’t be the first flying monkey she’s dated, when they wondered if maybe he turned into one.
7) Regina and Emma bonding moments: I liked them, but it is a delicate thing with how they do those scenes. Sometimes I wish we had just a moment of a frown on Emma’s face as she looks at the shoelace on her wrist. I don’t know, its just odd. Still wondering what fake memory Emma thought that shoelace was about.
Over all though it was a good episode and I was, despite all the things we speculated on and got right, plus had spoiled, I was still surprised in some ways like with the Red scenes.

Regina! She was perfect in this episode. 😀
Regina and Robin Hood!!!! OMG… I felt my face getting red the entire time, they are perfect together! 😀
Regina and Emma moments! having feels all over the place for these two. 😉
RUMPLE’S BACK!!!! My heart was broken all winter break, now it sings!!! (Belle will bring him back so it doesn’t matter if he is a little crazy.)
Regina and Roland, the way she just grab that cute little baby and keeping him out of harms way, then giving him a stuffed monkey. Cute!!
This episode was perfect!!!
Least Favorite:
Grumpy accusing Regina, I don’t think he was part of the plan he really did accuse her. The way all the residents turned on Regina. I got so mad. But I got over once it was revealed that it was part of the plan. But hey BB Regina can cause earthquakes, I should put that under favorite moments.
I am really not feeling the fact that Zelena and Regina are sisters. There is a possibility she might be lying. I am even more against the thought or even a possibility that Rumple might be Zelena’s father as I have been hearing around this forum. I will say this, no, I think Zelena is lying.
March 17, 2014 at 1:28 am #253465PheeParticipantLoved so much in this ep.
Rumple’s scene was a standout. Seeing him like that was rather unsettling.
All the stuff with Regina and Emma working together, their discussions about Henry, and then Regina’s meeting with Henry was all perfectly done.
I like that they’re wasting no time in establishing a dynamic between Robin and Regina. Each of them can give as well as they get, and they may be antagonistic so far, but there’s also an undeniable level of understanding there as well on a couple of things.
SB Zelena creeps me out more than she does in WW form.
Seeing Red with actual lines this time was a lovely surprise!
March 17, 2014 at 8:13 am #253503KateGreenParticipantFavourite:
Emma and Regina in the car, Davids face when Hook and Emma mentioned marrying a beast, that Robin wants to help Regina
Least:
I actually thought Snowing would try to convince Emma that she can’t keep the truth from Henry ( I mean as we all know Snow never kept any secrets 🙂 )
March 17, 2014 at 9:13 am #253529TheGoldenKeyParticipantFAVOURITE MOMENTS:
Seeing Ruby!
Grumpy had lots of fun lines!
Emma & Reggie bonding. I really enjoyed that. Emma was so gracious with Reggie, touching really.
Banter between Robin & EQ. Great chemistry there.
EQ & Z. FANTASTIC chemistry between them! I doubted Bex’s ability to bring it to the show. Well she did and she made a monkey out of me in the process.
Handsome Mr. Gold on the exterior and the insane little imp Rumple on the interior. The ending with GoldRum singing his little song made me so happy. Exciting to see this side of him again and watch him play it all out this season.
LEAST FAVOURITE
Not disappointed to see Little John gone. I thought his acting was poor.
Not enough Neal moments. 🙁
Didn’t like Emma’s nonchalant quip about it not being the first time she’s dated a flying monkey when they were discussing what could have possibly happened to Neal. Seemed cold & thoughtless.

March 17, 2014 at 11:04 am #253556butterscotchParticipantLeast favorite moments from tonight’s show……all the moments where nobody seemed to care that Rumple is “dead”. They don’t mourn. They don’t rejoice. They just don’t care one way or another. He was a bad guy, but come on, at least acknowledge that he helped save you all from Pan’s curse. Dreamshade cure, etc.
This 🙂
March 17, 2014 at 12:59 pm #253604Jenna_BParticipantStill not good at thinking straight there was so much going on…but I loved it! The pace is so much better than in NL.
One thing I’m very happy about is Emma encouraging Regina to have some kind of bond with Henry even though he doesn’t have his memories. I get not telling him the truth, that’s a lot to process but I’m really hapy Emma wanted Regina in his life. I really thought she might balk a little because of their past and it would be easier keeping Regina away but Emma really stepped up.
I did notice the changes…in Henry andEmma. Emma’s a little softer and Henry’s a little more distant. But I like it; I love the idea of Henry being a little snotty pre-teen (just a bit though!) And Emma needs to be able to unclench if just for a second.
March 18, 2014 at 2:16 pm #253930MyrilParticipantHenry – he may have friends and good memories – but he’s not Henry… all video games, no book, introverted and not socializing. OK – so he is being a normal kid, but Henry wasn’t like that before. He was an old soul in a kids body that still retain his imagination and faith in the unbelievable.
Yes, had a bit of a problem with that too, although not just because of how Henry was before the De-Curse, but more because of how he talked in the episode before this one. There was a bit of the old soul in a kids body when he talked to Emma getting Walsh a chance – and it didn’t sit right with me there. On the other hand, it’s a fake memory. No matter how well intended was what Regina did, I think it might be in result not all different from what happened to everybody when she cast the Dark Curse the first time. They became twisted versions of themselves, in some ways still recognizable somewhat like their Enchanted Forest selves, but twisted, often the least favorite sites of personality taking lead, so to speak. So maybe here we see the less favorites sites of Henry’s personality emerging, lacking the memory of things, which gave him a nudge in a somewhat different direction of personality development.
liked:
Emma in charge. Don’t like all the IMO creepy savior talk, I like her way better as leader. Plain and simple.
Emma and Regina working together. It might be not the least bit reasonable, considering all what Regina did to Emma’s family and her, and still there is some respect between them. If there is any person Regina might respect at all, it is Emma, and despite all what happened, Emma doesn’t simply judge her as an evil which has to answer or be undone. Maybe because Emma has an enviable down to earth and move on attitude, maybe Emma just has to give Regina a chance as long as Henry does, whatever the reason, she tries. What I like about how the show handles it: there is some fight between the two about Henry, but it is not reduced to two women fighting about their son, there are times they fight together for him. I never like the whiny “I’m the victim” Regina, it never sits quite right with me for her character. Emma and Regina working together means, both in practical mode. They get things done, and even if it means sometimes to get hands (a bit) dirty. Not a SwanQueen shipper (though I can see why people are), but I like them working together.
Red / Ruby!!!!! Of course. And not just with some toss away lines. Just enjoy this moment. Despite whatever. Sometimes it’s better to just enjoy.
And what a feast of subtext this episode was. A tease of the good kind, for the fun. Guess SwanQueen fans are still barely breathing, while at the same time we got some good start for Regina and Robin. Yes, I like text that works on more than one level.
Positively impressed how they handled Regina and Zelena as sisters. Very much like, that they didn’t keep it as some big reveal for later. It’s clear, Zelena is Regina’s half sister (and fans can have more hours of speculative fun on the internet, who the father was), revealing enough without revealing too much. Nicely written. Haven’t been that much intrigued by the idea while it was speculation, but I find something in the way they are doing it. Probably it helped a lot, that the banter between them in this episode was so much like how I know it can be between sisters in strained, hate relationship, and still a caricature of it. It was oddly enjoyable (when you got over that kind of stuff and grew up), and at the same time bit of a chill reminder.
disliked:
pretty much nothing, it was mostly a well written, paced episode, with great scenes and details and setting up some interesting things.Nope, show is not getting me all back, but it’s for the hope of such episodes, that I linger.
¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯
