Speaking of Dr. Whale: Apparently David never got looped in on the brief little somethin’-somethin’ that Mary Margaret had going with the frisky physician. (We were on a break!) That sets the table for a rather hilarious passing moment.Why is it okay for DAVID / PC to be married have his own life but it is not okay for MM to have a episode / one night stand as a consenting adults. I think a little double standard is going on here.

[adrotate group="5"]Agreed! Not only are there bigger things to worry about, but Charming’s life as David didn’t have the best moments either. I honestly didn’t even think about how the one night stand would factor in now that they remember everything – but not sure I like the spoiler image of Charming punching Whale in a few episodes. Generally, fans seem to think it is because Charming learned about it. Given this review: they seem to be using Whale/Snow sex to create some drama and it probably is related back to Charming finding out about the one night stand. If Charming does overreact, I hope they somehow can convey his actions are rooted back to his own guilt from his David life and how he treated Snow: giving her the wrong valentine, lying, doubting, etc. Then again, if Whale decides to make a joke about having sex with Snow to Charming…I don’t think I’d be against Charming punching him. But – Is Whale really that stupid? 😀
Yes, I complained about this after seeing the spoilers of David hitting Dr. Whale from episode 5 I believe. It’s not anyone’s fault except Regina’s and Rumple’s for what happened during the Curse, so I think Charming just looks like an idiot for getting angry at Dr. Whale and punching him over it.

Yes, I really hope that Charming’s actions are from his own guilt and anger at himself for causing her to have a one night stand with Dr. Whale, and not that he’s jealous or angry with Snow. Dr. Whale probably is stupid enough to taunt Charming about it, but again it’s all on Regina and Rumple not on Dr. Whale for what happened. Likewise, Charming acted much worse during his time under the Curse, so if he gets to get angry and actually punch Dr. Whale, I want to see Frederick rip Charming from limb to limb.

That’s too good of a point. I’m kind of hopeing that the punch is about something else (although the whale/mm thing can be an underliying thing).
The fact that they say it’s a “hilarious passing moment” makes me think it won’t really be a big thing with legitimate, lasting resentment. I’m wondering if maybe he lashes out, and then Snow tells him to pull his head in, and then he’s got that line about being old fashioned.
They haven’t come to terms with having the memories of two people yet, so if he’s in his Charming mindset, (and let’s face it, with everyone wandering around town, re-meeting each other and remembering who they are, their FTL personas are gonna be the dominant persona at that point in time), and Whale says something snarky about having got it on with Snow, of course Charming’s reflex response is gonna be all, “A DUEL FOR MY LADY’S HONOUR,” and whatnot. But I suspect that he’ll then realise, “Oh yeah, but I was married to someone else huh…umm, sorry about that…bygones?” It’d be a good way for them to show how these characters are going to have to learn to reconcile both of their personas.
