[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"July 13, 2016 at 2:22 pm #325486RumplesGirlKeymasterSo that’s….random.
There is a famous newspaper drawing by the same name but I have no idea if it’s related.
America, a partly-draped female figure, is being held down by Lord Mansfield (r.) in judge’s wig and robes, while North, holding her by the throat, pours the contents of a tea-pot down her mouth. America ejects the tea in a stream directed at North’s face. From his pocket hangs a paper inscribed “Boston Port Bill”. Sandwich (l.) kneels, holding America down by an ankle, while he lifts the edge of her draperies and peers beneath them. Behind Mansfield (r.) stands Bute in Scots cap and kilt, holding a drawn sword, its blade inscribed “Military Law”, pistols are thrust through his belt. Behind America stands Britannia resting one hand on her shield; she averts her face and covers her eyes with her hand. Behind Sandwich (l.) stand two men dressed in the French and Spanish fashions and representing France and Spain or the monarchs of France and Spain; the order of the Golden Fleece hangs from the neck of Spain. They stand close together, pointing towards America with expressions of interest and concern.
In the foreground is a torn document inscribed “Boston petition”. In the background is the sea; on the horizon and on a minute scale are the spires of a town surrounded by ships, above is engraved, “Boston cannonaded”
Anyone got anything else?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"July 13, 2016 at 2:25 pm #325487WickedRegalParticipantThere’s this I think.

July 13, 2016 at 2:55 pm #325488MatthewPaulModeratorApparently “The Bitter Draught” is the name of painting by Adriaen Brouwer:
The Bitter Potion, also known as The Bitter Draught and The Bitter Tonic, was produced during the last years of Brouwer’s career and is among his most important works.
The sitter had obviously just tasted a bitter medicine and his extremely distorted facial expression is evidence of deep disgust. The bitter tonic was believed to have been made up of herbs from the cinchona tree which helped fight off malaria. It was also known as the ‘constipation of drugs’.

I think the title could be referring to Jekyll’s serum.

Same. Someone else is going splitsville?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"July 13, 2016 at 3:17 pm #325490nevermoreParticipantMaybe it’s more of a play on bitter medicine/bitter pill, but altered to fit with Jekyll’s serum? So, metaphorically, some sort of unpleasant situation/hard decision that someone is forced to accept?
Either that, or they’re talking about hoppy beer.
July 13, 2016 at 4:10 pm #325493RumplesGirlKeymasterJust for a reference point, Chambliss and Horgan have written together before.
–The Apprentice (404); Rumple/Anna centric
–Poor Unfortunate Soul (415); Hook/Ursula centric
–Lily (419); Emma/Lily centric
–The Price (502); Snow/Regina/all over centric
–Labor of Love (513); Snow White centric
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"July 13, 2016 at 4:21 pm #325497PriceofMagicParticipantEither that, or they’re talking about hoppy beer.
Lol. An episode whose most dramatic moment is the characters going to a pub, ordering a beer and not liking it.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixJuly 13, 2016 at 4:41 pm #325501rainbow2ParticipantEither that, or they’re talking about hoppy beer.
Or Emma lost Hook`s flask last season while droping things on his grave and now he cant drink rum.
Now more serious, yeah, maybe is about the serium, maybe they realise that the EQ is alive and not dead.
July 13, 2016 at 7:21 pm #325503WickedRegalParticipantSo either this could be Jekyll’s Centric episode about how he first made the potion that resulted in Hyde, or someone else is getting split….or it could be both?!
