One of my fav scenes of the whole ep- right up until she stomped on his heart, ground it into the floor & kicked it’s ashes into the wind- but it’ll alllllllll be worth it after next week 😀
[adrotate group="5"]Coupla comments;
“Killian, come back to me” twice, second time barely a whisper after she BREAKS his curse. That’s a special magic alright. The original curse said she would lose her magic by touching his lips. It didn’t say it would save his life. She saved his life. (I am going to give her one more episode to quit being a little s**t about New York and her self-serving stubbornness before I hope someone gives her backside a (pirate) boot. However, I think that is exactly what we are finally going to get…one more episode before she understands just what HOME really is)
Good things coming, but man oh man, when Hook said he was in it for the LONG haul, he wasn’t kidding.
I actually loved the new Regina. And telling that doomed psycho sister of hers while she sat in the jail that she would *crush her heart* tells me that Regina will still be a very edgy hero, today 🙂 I like that.
Rumple is baaaacccck. ‘Bout bloody time. She didn’t die a painful enough death. Good riddance. The scenery had her teeth marks all over it. Heh…or did she even die, really? But I think, sadly that the Rumbelle Wedding night be a bait and switch .Also, Belle isn’t gonna be thrilled when she finds out he double crossed her to murder Zeleeeeena. Not a very good haaaht there, Rumple. They get less breaks than Hook and Swan!! And these women have to quit wearing those toddering high heels.
The bromance is alive! Yay Daddy David.
I still adore Grumpy: *Incoming!!!*
OZ flashbacks were meaningless.
Did anyone laugh at Dr. Whales reaction to Zelena’s knock out?? Goofball. lolol.
Colin had to have had a blast punching himself in the face (grin) but I wonder which Hook is which??? And wasn’t that on the Jolly Roger, uh, below decks? Oh, and dear gentle viewers, going willingly INTO a portal to be with someone who was just sucked in is the ultimate sign of genuine love.
Fun fun fun
~stay sane until next week!
***Always in search of a good flock***
So excited for next week!
I am such a pessimistic person usually but I completely believe in CS & have tons of hope for them!
This was a rough week most definitely and it HURTS but some progress was made. Emma chose Killian over her magic. She knew the consequences and did it anyway. Even mad at him, she needed him to continue existing. She pleaded with him to be alive.
SHE PARALLELED MM FROM SEASON 1. “Come back to me” Exactly what MM begged David to do when he was drowning at the toll bridge. (I need a gifset of this)
I love that she didn’t even really think about it. She knew the consequences, she was already mad at him, but her panic/fear took over and while she was annoyed that Zelena did in fact figure out a way to force her to give up her powers, she couldn’t let him die. She’s lost so much (as has he) and now they’ve both seen each other recover from near drowning experiences. (Nice callback to 3×01 as well as a major parallel to MM/David in Season 1). It was very much an “I can’t lose you” situation or she wouldn’t have been pleading like that.
Playful banter by the end of the episode. Smiling. It’s how they reconnect. Emma was mad at him in the beginning yes, and she still has it in her head to run away back to NY (she’s dreaming – Henry would just run back to see Snowing and Regina. Has she met her kid??). I have every bit of faith that she’ll realize by the end of the finale that SB IS her home, with everyone that loves her there.
Speaking of smiling I LOVE how happy she was about her baby brother! (We still need his name, grrrr). We haven’t gotten to really see her around babies except for the fake memories of keeping Henry but she was SO EXCITED! I love Killian calling her on it too and appreciating how rare a smile is for her. Like Charming said, this world has been nothing but cruel to her and it’s nice to see Killian get to see her happy about something. (Cue future Pirate Family feels as well – if they’re that adorable just running to meet the “little royal” and Emma’s got that big smile on her face, can you imagine a future CS baby?? I vote for a girl named Hope or a boy named Liam – or both!)
I love that even though he had every reason to think that they all hated / were mad at him, he still showed up at the hospital when he heard the “little royal” was on his way. He showed up to help, just like at the end of S2, and because he cares. Love that! It hurt to see him standing there at the end though because he should have been there and once again was left just out of it, but to his credit he keeps coming back and being truly helpful, regardless of how mean they are to him, instead of being out for revenge or just going off and sulking somewhere else. He could easily have stayed away, but he had to make sure that everything was alright, and when Emma left him at the door, he still got to see the happy family (while wishing he was truly a part of it) and he saw her smile which I’m sure was bittersweet given what she had just said….but they’re back on good terms. They did their banter repair thing. He got validation that even after everything they’ve been through, she wouldn’t just let him die. She chose him over her magic, knowing her magic was supposedly the only thing that could help save everyone, and she gave it up to save his life while pleading with him to be alive. THE FEELS!)
There were definitely a few twists of the knife this episode. Her walls are up, she’s bitter, but she’ll come around. Look at Charming! Once he had time to cool off he completely understood what Killian went through. Emma is just using any excuse she can to not get her heart broken again. She was willing to put everything in the past because she believed that Killian would never hurt her like that and then something happened that made her question it and she uses it as an excuse to get out of dodge.
Speaking as someone who has trust issues, I totally get this. It’s hard enough to have one big dream, but to have others that bank on that first one kinda make it tough, especially if it ALL falls apart. Emma doesn’t allow herself to dream too big because she keeps getting knocked down. For the longest time it was just her and surviving, now it’s all about Henry and has been for awhile. Every time she’s even gotten CLOSE to having her parents (and everyone else in SB) in the mix, something catastrophic happens. She’s constantly in jeopardy of losing Henry (especially in S3) and she just wants to hold onto that so desperately.
Her life in NY was good – a little “too good” actually, but Henry wasn’t in danger there. She didn’t give him up as a baby, they were a dynamic duo and there were dreams of finally putting the past in the past and adding someone to their little family. Then what happened? ….
Every time Emma has a home, it’s been taken from her:
- As a baby – sent through the wardrobe alone
- Foster care? Given back when they had a kid of their own
- Between 3 & 16/17 – unknown but thieving and making it on her own
- 16/17 – meets up with Neal who promises her a “home” and ends up in jail
- Spends 2 years looking around Tallahassee to find Neal who promised her said home – never does
- Spends most of next decade on her own, wishing she weren’t alone (hello pilot feels), and looking out for #1, with no real attachments to anyone or dreams of anything real, just some temporary company for a night here and there
- Season 1 – takes the whole season to acknowledge just how much Henry means to her and almost kidnaps him to make it just the two of them and get him out of danger
- Season 2 – reunites (officially) with her family & gets swept into the EF via the hat
- Reunites (again) with her family, the town itself is threatened
- Saves the town but her son, her HOME, the one person she absolutely categorically NEEDS, is taken
- Season 3 – Saves Henry and reunites with her family and everything is well in SB and then the curse has to be undone
- The curse is undone and she has a nice fake life with an almost fiancee who turns out to be a flying monkey who only sorta likes her and then tries to kill her
- She reunites with everyone and is still considering NY because Henry doesn’t have his memories and she wants out, but is starting to bond with everyone again and is ready to put the past in the past
- Finds out that Killian was cursed by Zelena and didn’t tell her – the ONE person she expected to be honest with her
EVERY SINGLE TIME she tries to have a home with her family, she gets burned. When she got her memories back, she remembered every painful thing and on top of that, knew that she didn’t raise Henry and that perfect little life never really existed.
She’s struggling right now and she wants to keep Henry safe but Killian was right – she’s putting her walls up and is afraid right now. She keeps saying NY NY NY but she’s almost lost Henry HOW many times in SB now? He’s EVERYTHING and the only thing she absolutely can’t lose. She’ll end up staying and coming around to it I’m 100000% sure, but I get why she’s still freaking out.
It’s HEARTBREAKING to watch but I have faith. Killian can see it – he always reads her like an open book. I love that he calls her on it. He may go around in the background looking like a hurt puppy dog but he isn’t afraid to stand up to her either. They are EQUALS like Snowing and I love that about them. He knows that she needs to stay and it’s not even about him. Her parents are here, the rest of Henry’s family is here, the people who knew his father best are here. He needs to stay and Emma needs to stay, both for Henry and for herself. Whether she’ll admit that she needs Killian (she will I have no doubt eventually let herself believe in that again), she needs to stay in SB with the people who love her. (And again – can you REALLY see Henry staying in NY now? He’d totally run away again)
PROMO
SO MANY THINGS!
They must put their thieving/piratey ways to good use to find some clothes to fit in. BALLROOM! DANCING! We get to see Emma at a ball in FTL dancing with Killian! Even if it’s to blend in/observe/make sure something happens, they will still be working as a team on a big adventure which, let’s face it, is when they’re at their best, like Snowing. Plus it really does look like they’ll get to witness/help Snowing in their early days to make sure they still happen so Emma exists which means we might get our pirate snark after all regarding how much Emma is like her mother!
Is he offering her the book while trying to get her to believe in herself again? It looks like it! I love how even when he’s hurting and she’s emotionally keeping him at arm’s length he’s still trying to help, and do what’s right, and build her up in the process. He’s not letting her wallow and fall apart. He’s helping. Plus it looks like she’ll be falling through the portal and once she does he likely lets go to join her. It reminded me a lot of the hat scene with the wraith where Snow jumps in after her because she can’t lose her again. Killian’s already been through a year without Emma and it nearly destroyed him. We know he definitely goes along for the ride so I’m hoping he doesn’t just get sucked in too but either way, he’s there so yay).
Seriously cannot wait til next week! I’m sure I’ve forgotten something I was going to mention but even though it was once again heartbreaking to watch certain things, I have every bit of faith that we’ll get a big payoff soon. *Fingers crossed!*
