I do think that Guardian has to be one of the new characters. The old characters no longer serve a purpose in the story except to keep viewers. The real story of the season has all been about Ella and her family and the villains surrounding it. Regina hasn’t had an episode yet, not really. Rumpel did, but it was just to get rid of Belle. Hook has never served a purpose and, i think, he will continue to be that.
I still don’t get what the purpose of the Guardian even is. It seemed like their purpose was just to help Rumpel not be the dark one, but there must be something more to it that we don’t know about.
[adrotate group="5"]Is Marcus the father she was talking about who was Cecilia’s true love?
I think so, yes.
I was under the impression that the mushroom gave Cecilia the poisoned heart curse, being as it was a mushroom from Wonderland, but now I’m not so sure.
I thought so too but I don’t know how Rapunzel would know what to do with it (I don’t exactly look at mushrooms and go “ah! I must squeeze it!”) or what the mushroom would even do.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Is Marcus the father she was talking about who was Cecilia’s true love?

I’m pretty sure Gothel told her to squeeze the juice into her drink.
Really enjoyed this episode. One of the best of the season so far along with “Beauty,” and “Wake Up Call,” in my opinion.
Liked:
– Lady Tremaine being Rapunzel. As soon we found out Rapunzel was coming and Tremaine’s last name was “Belfry,” I thought they’d go this route, and I’m glad they did. They’ve never made a “Disney princess” villainous before, so bravo for doing something new Once. I really liked how they revealed it right away in the episode and how it all played out.
– Things are beginning to really connect! Cecelia and Marcus in Wonderland, Anastasia, Gothel, the Guardian, etc. Blanks are starting to get filled in, and I like it.
– “Did someone not get enough hugs?” – epic awful villain line in the best way
– Drizella – Adelaide Kane continues to impress. The tension simmering beneath between her and Tremaine – you could almost cut it with a knife.
– Tiana/Sabine’s role in the episode. She felt more relevant to the overall season arc this time and I’m intrigued why Rumple had her hold the dagger.
– Rumple’s “confession” to Rogers that he’s been separated from his wife! Open, vulnerable Rumple is the best Rumple!
– It was obvious Tremaine was going to wake Anastasia, but I didn’t see Lucy falling to the ground coming – great, unexpected twist!
Mixed:
– There’s definitely holes in Tremaine/Rapunzel’s backstory, but I’m hopeful we’ll get them. We need to see Tremaine working for years and years trying to wake Anastasia and the toll that takes on Cinderella and Drizella as they grow up. I also hope we see Marcus searching for Cecelia in Wonderland. I agree with many of you that Alice may have been lying about what went down with Cecelia so I do think they’ll show us that.
– Jacinda/Ella kissing Nick/Jack. I get it, she got caught up in the moment, and it needed to happen for Lucy to cry, but I don’t know if I’m going to like this because love triangles were old before they started. Also did they kiss again? Because the video Tremaine showed Lucy was definitely longer and more passionate than what we saw firsthand. Or was that just for plot/drama sake?
Disliked:
– I know she’s not technically a main character, but even a brief shot of Alice acknowledging she’s there would be nice.
– So the mushroom gave Cecelia the poisoned heart curse, yes? And she ran away to Wonderland to avoid hurting her family. That made after the episode ended and I thought about it, but they actually could have made that more clear to the audience.
– How many different ways can we say, “Anastasia?” LOL.
What I don’t get is the sequence of events;
Marcus dives into the water and pulls out Cindy. He tells Tremaine that he “could only save one” but them moments later we see Tremaine hauling Ana to Gothel in an attempt to revive her. So…Marcus dove back in and pulled out Ana but yet claims he “could only save one” which implies that one was further away and Ella just happened to be within in his grasp?
That’s how I interpreted it, unless Rapunzel dove in for Anastasia after Marcus came up. They should have explained that better. Also, why didn’t Rapunzel jump in too – why was it just Marcus’ job to save their daughters? Was it just a moment of shock and she didn’t think to jump in as well?
I’m pretty sure Gothel told her to squeeze the juice into her drink.
Ok, that’s probable. I must have missed that. And while I get that desperate souls do desperate things, Rapunzel trusting in Gothel–a woman who locked her in a tower for six years–is pretty strange. We got next to nothing of what life was like between Rapunzel and Gothel during those six years (was Gothel even around? I mean who braided Rapunzel’s hair? Who got her food? Who got her clothes?).
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Now that I think about, the first Rapunzel we saw in season….3(?) also didn’t have her long hair explained either, did she?
Do…do the writers know hair just wont naturally grow that long?
Nightroot.
That’s gonna the Squid Ink for anything related to Rapunzel 1.0.

I feel like the tower provides everything for her. Like that was part of its magic. I honestly don’t think Gothel returned after trapping Rapunzel there.
Also, why didn’t Rapunzel jump in too – why was it just Marcus’ job to save their daughters?
Gender roles, maybe. How does a person in EF2 learn to swim? By getting naked outdoors, where anyone could walk by. A boy could do that without creating a scandal — it might even be considered appropriately daring behaviour — but I’m guessing it wouldn’t be proper for a lady, especially a lady from a wealthy family.
