Lucy’s skeleton costume may have been a Day of the Dead reference. It works out-of-universe as a nod to the actress’ heritage and in-universe for its significance to the cursed personalities
…
On a sillier note, the costume (complete with paper bag mask) could also refer to the mostly-headless Australopithecus skeleton known as Lucy.
And here I thought it might be a nod to The Paper Bag Princess, a book by Robert Munsch 😀
I mean, Ivy could have put a balaclava on the kid instead, probably easier for Lucy to see in than through the paper bag slits, and if black would look way cooler, more like a headless skeleton 🙂 But I suppose they’d only have a balaclava if they were skiers, or lived somewhere colder than Seattle.
[adrotate group="5"]Why didn’t it work? I’d always assumed that the reason TLK didn’t work was because Rumple’s true love was his dagger, but once he let go of it, his true love should have been Belle. So, it makes no sense why their kiss wouldn’t just free him of the dark one curse.
A great question that I suspect will never be answered.

There’s also the Pixar movie “Coco” coming out in a few weeks themed around “The Day of the Dead.”
Ok finally to getting to do this.
Liked: Beast and Beauty Up theme long lived life.
Alice being the LGBT character reveal was done so effortless, sort of Like Bill from Doctor Who, it was just natural and part of who she is. (want to know something wacky I have a sort of fanon crossover ship of Bill and Alice).
Rumple: I gain the dagger to save one son I will not give up the dagger to another one. (I am misquoting it but I did like that line a lot.)
mixed: not sure…
Dislike: I CAN’T DEAL WITH ANOTHER LOVE TRIANGLE. Especially when Henry and Cinderella are supposed to be married???? I can’t. I just can’t. Can we for once have a non love triangle relationships.
No Tiana my heart ache to see here again….
Gideon, he was kind of just thrown in there?
thoughts: Could Alice/Tilly be red herring like August as Bae???
Even though I mini ranted about Henry and Ivy forming a love triangle. I wonder if I am jumping the gun on that. Because I did have some inkling that Alice was the LGBT character however I thought Druzilla might be LGBT character as well. Druzilla/Ivy being Lesbian or Bisexual could be also play into her mother focusing more on Ana or not approving of her daughter. I still wonder if Dru/Ivy (I’m calling here Druvy). I wonder if Druvy had something to do with her sister’s death while Cindy blames herself it could be Druvy that caused it. I know Alice hinted she had an ex connected to Victoria so makes me wonder if Druvy is “closeted?”
of course that new article makes me think new character (Rapunzel?) may be connected to Alice as her great love interest, and Rapunzel could be Hook’s daughter as well…???..
"I will be kind but I will speak my mind."

I agree. This was a smart decision on their part, especially after all the backlash for “Ruby Slippers”
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Overall:
9.75/10
Best episode in a very very very very very long time. And here I thought Emile de Ravin couldn’t act anymore. Her and Bobby were incredible in that final scene together. All the “Up” feels……good stuff. The montages…the music….Belle falling from the window again. I’m not sure anyone has mentioned this yet either, but I think the idea of the only way to get rid of the dagger and the darkness is for the dark one to find true love and for that true love to die was kinda of dare I say genius. At first I was like…oh god not a magical river…but the dagger came back. Then it was a magical sunset at the Edge of Realms (cool name too by the way) and I was like no no more macguffins for this big thing. Then we realize the truth and it was soooo good. And Belle kept it from him so they could live their life in peace with their son. FINALLY. and WITHOUT MAGIC. I was incredibly impressed with this episode and Alice is also quickly turning into a fun breath of fresh air the series needed. Too little too late but still.
My big question is why Rumple didn’t die at the hands of Alice. It seems at some point Rumple must have known the curse was happening and told Alice she will have to shoot him so he could die…but I still have so many questions. Why is she the “guardian?” How did Rumple know that’s what needed to be done? How does the guardian get picked? Will Alice become the dark one next? I guess not right because Belle died but then shouldn’t have Rumple died when Alice shot him then? He saw Belle briefly but then he woke up. Anybody have more clarity on this?
Ivy is hilarious. Jacinda and Henry are developing a better chemistry level and next week we have the shadow man. I think OUAT is slowly bringing me back into the fold.

Yeah, there’s definitely a lot of questions surrounding this “guardian” and such. My thought is that Rumple told Alice to try to jog his memories with the tea cup first. If that didn’t work, he told her to shoot him. When he didn’t die, because he’s immortal as the Dark One, that would jog his memories for sure.

Right, but Belle had to die in order for him to escape the dark one magic right? And now we just don’t know what that magic is? Just that it has to do with the guardian?

I think Belle had to die so he could find the path to the guardian who will be able to let the darkness rest. I am not sure Alice is the guardian, I am not sure who is but I think it might be someone connected with the Cinderella/Dead Prince story. In episode 1 Alice tells Henry not to interfere with the story because “bad” things could happen and she was told to tell him this by Rumple. What if Henry interfering in the story, made Rumple loose the path to the guardian and the only way to find it back was to curse the NEF which would make Rumple the curse’s maker maybe not the person who cast the curse but the person who manipulates the caster to cast the curse.
