Because I think this episode worked so well in many ways, have a hard time to find least favorite moments. Could do a bit of nitpicking, but maybe not.

So just my most favorite moments:

– the opening shot, the camera moving down with the sail of the mill, down onto the passed out miller on his cart and then pulling back showing the mill and in the background again the castle, Cora coming from behind the camera positions into the picture. Great opening. In seconds and just visual we get where we are, who and what it is about.

– Emma talking to Gold on the ship. She is so not thrilled of him being family (and her face and tone said it all), but he is family, so she is going to take good care of him. No smooth sailing for these two. Noticed the rocking of the camera, uhm ship.

– this spectacular shot at the beginning of the ball scene, this close up of the mask, the music … ball scene music has to be on the next soundtrack CD. All of the ball scene, the dancing, music, dresses, lighting, camera work … Cora’s red dress – simple but nifty.

– David at the haven talking to Snow, trying to talk a bit of sense into her. Another moment of “true” love in this episode, besides others to come up

– Gold and Snow at the shop. Gold knows how to push buttons. And Snow is unfortunately very ready to listen. Tense.

– Rumple teaching Cora to spin gold. Seductive. And the way Rose McGowan said something like bloodlust … Let’s say I probably will never be able to see someone spinning again without some distracting thoughts coming up on my mind.

Intrigued by the difference and similarity between this scene and the scene before with Emma.

And pretty much loved every scene, moment with Robert Carlyle and Rose McGowan. Just a pleasure to watch them acting together.

– Gold talking to Belle on the phone. Lovely moment. Including the reactions of Neal and Emma and the following moment between son and father. If anyone wants to know what the show is about at its very core, this is one of the scenes to show (oh yes, that coming from me who questions to distinguish love and true love). Great writing, great acting.

– Snow pushing Regina’s buttons. Dark. Very dark. No matter how justifiable killing Cora was, this was maybe the toughest thing for Snow to do, the toughest thing since she sent Emma alone on her own through the wardrobe (the latter not a dark moment but a tough choice too). And it was her darkest moment so far. It will pain Snow – and that is the good news so to speak, Snow still has a conscience. She regretted it the minute she sent Regina on her way to put the cursed heart into Cora. Too late to stop it.

Some irony, that the very candle Cora offered Snow to try to manipulated her to do something dark in the end exactly was a tool in doing something that will make Snow feel bad and question her heart and feel dark, but that as well that very candle killed the one who brought it up in the first place. In a twisted way Cora had a hand in her own undoing.

– the daughter – mother moment between Regina and Cora, Cora at the end seeing she made a mistake choosing power over love. What a sad, tragic moment (and what acting by Lana Parilla and Barbara Hershey). The Queen (of Hearts, what irony this name) is dead, long live the (Evil) Queen.
As well though relieve that Cora is gone, right. Ding, dong the witch is dead (stupid phrase, but who wasn’t humming it?)

¯\_(?????? ?)_/¯

Favorite moments:

-the Rumbelle phone call (Yeah, everyone loved this scene and nearly everyone already saw it but… It was so beautiful! D:).
-the subsequent Bae and Rumple moment. Bae’s little “I’m still angry” followed by a desperate clinging to his father was too perfect for words. 🙂
-every scene with Snow. The way she whispered Cora’s name over that candle was chilling. O_O I also loved the way she manipulated Regina into placing Cora’s heart back in her chest. Great character development. Can’t wait to see what happens with Snow in the coming episodes.
It was really an all around excellent episode. In fact, I don’t know if I could pick out even one “least favorite” moment. Although I found the kissing between Cora and Rumple to be a bit weird (It felt wrong, yet, at the same time… kind of hot), I have to admit the acting was superb.

Did anyone else notice baby Regina’s diaper? My fiance said it was like a huggies or pampers. I can’t find my glasses, so I can’t tell. Also, after everything that Cora did, I am finding myself FURIOUS with Snow/MM. The image of her sitting with her hands over her ears just made me want to smack her. I know that sounds harsh, but I had a physical reaction to her this episode. I can’t explain it. I think I like the show less now. Regina was SO SO pitiful. I have to keep reminding myself of what they did to Johanna last week.

What Cora did to Johanna, I think that’s significant. It’s always Cora or Rumpel leading the way down that dark path, with Regina always following. They’re her enablers

Just like he always does with Regina, I thought that was interesting. And look how she does his bidding, just like Regina always does. See how easily he corrupts? Interesting parallels. Snow was also very Rumpel like in her manipulation of Regina, like she became an extension of him in trying to accomplish his goals. Rumpel’s dark influence is everywhere in this show, even now. Can he really be redeemed? Rumpel always finds a way to get people to sacrifice their goodness for an attractive end goal.

The way my heart was racing at the end the SECOND time I watched it. What a powerful episode.

Neal/Bae standing over the dagger with the sword while Emma’s holding Regina and all he says is choose wisely that was just cool Bae seemed to have a little bit of a cocky swagger to him didn’t he?

Which you’d expect from Peter Pan

Let’s say they do reveal that he is Peter Pan. Imagine how awesome the flashback scenes will be between him and Hook, since this show’s version of Hook also has a cocky swagger to him. It’s gonna be a lot of swashbuckling awesomeness. The thought of those two characters physically and verbally dueling each other is exciting to me. They’re both characters who have a certain coolness to them. Though I guess they would need a different actor for young Bailfire.

Then again, the way this show works a flashback between those two characters probably wouldn’t be anything we’d expect.

My least favorite was that Regina doesn’t have one thing to say about Neal/Bae. 😯 I know, it was supposed to be an action sequence. But as others pointed out on another thread, how silly for these guys with swords to be fighting magic wielding witches…and whatever happened to “magic is different/unpredictable?” A lot to fit in to a scene, but I felt like I had to do some major mental gap filler to make sense of it.

& I agree that a Neal & Hook swordfight would be awesome–lot better than watching someone throw a knife at Regina only to see her puff into smoke before it hits her.

I couldn’t help it. I wasn’t going to watch Once Upon A Time for a while because I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy it since my favorite character (Hook) won’t be there for a while. We went ahead and watched from On Demand last night. I don’t know if I would call it my favorite part, but the part that pulled at my heart the strongest was seeing Neal cry over believing he was about to loose his father. I hope the show keeps both Neal and Killian permanently. Killian has redefined Once Upon A Time for me, and I still miss seeing Hook around on the show. Still the same, that said, I really like Neal. I think my eyes welled when watching that scene at Gold’s bedside. That really got to me.
