That was pretty awesome. 😆

Okay, so in FTL, Regina is after Snow, wants her dead, has her against the wall… when did this happen? Clearly she’s in Evil Queen mode, but did you see her hair? I mean, she’s wearing normal clothes, her hair is in a normal ponytail, and yet they appear to be in some sort of castle. Whaaaaaat?
I’m thinking that scene happens after Snow White and Charming were secretly married by Lancelot but before their public wedding we saw in the pilot. Perhaps the reason Regina is dressed normally is because she is fighting against Snow and Charming taking back the kingdom.

So…. the Charmings confront Regina, I think about Henry. Why would they want to keep Henry from her? Seriously, Emma? Why do you wish to make her angry? She was doing so well! Please don’t make her go back evil! Please!
I think that Regina isn’t herself of late in that scene. I have a feeling that Cora’s return to SB could be sparking Regina’s newly-discoverd rage. Even Emma merely suggesting Henry live with her for a while could be enough to set off Regina’s anger. As Mr. Gold said, Regina won’t be able to be a better anything if Cora comes through, and now that Cora’s in town, expect to see Regina on edge.

Yes, everyone in Storybrooke already knows they’re coming, but geeze, Cora and Hook, wouldn’t it make more sense to be on the down low to gather intel and do some retcon first.
I wonder if some of the new footage isn’t actually footage from the next several episodes. It just seems like a lot of big things to fit into one episode. I also share the feeling that Hook and Cora would want to lay low for awhile as they plot their next move. I read in a post winter-finale interview that Hook’s ship is enchanted to be invisible and that Hook decides to keep a low righteous profile. Maybe Cora disguises Hook as a nun (Tinker Bell)! 💡 How hallarious would it be if Dr. Whale finally works up the nerve to hit on a nun who turns out to be Hook in disguise! 😆 That interview can be read here: http://tvline.com/2012/12/02/once-upon-a-time-midseason-finale-recap-burning-questions/2/

Yes, I don’t know what’s going on with Regina in the promo. Her eyes looked to be glowing in one scene, and then she’s using spells on Emma. It looks like she’s having a major relapse. I bet Cora has something to do with it. (Hey just maybe impostor theory can survive if Cora/Archie is causing this relapse in Regina.)
I also have a feeling that Cora is going to use her magic to impersonate Archie, hence the title “The Cricket Game.” Disguised as Regina’s therapist, Cora could play mind games with Regina, plant negative thoughts about the Charmings in her head, and convince her to keep Henry “safe” using magic, thus pushing Regina off of the no-magic bandwagon. More than anything, I believe Cora wants to mold Regina into her own twisted, magic-junkie image, so planting false thoughts in her daughter’s head while disguised as Archie would be the ultimate form of mind-control Cora could use on Regina. Going from saving Emma’s life in one episode to hurling Emma through the air with magic in the next episode happens all too fast unless Cora preying on Regina’s weaknesses is compelling this sudden shift in character judgement.

Yup, it looks like Gold is going to use that favor to ask Emma to find his son.But if Bae is really Neal, let’s hope she doesn’t shoot him on sight. 😆
Yes, Emma finding Baelfire is surely the favor she owes Mr. Gold. Also, Jennifer Morrison confirmed that while Emma thinks she knows all about Henry’s dad, Neal, there is also a part of him she doesn’t know at all. I think the part she doesn’t know is that Neal’s real identity is Baelfire.

Aw, thanks. I haven’t been into spoilers as much because they popped my bubble, but that makes sense that the ship is enchanted to be invisible. I wasn’t sure if they were doing that or not because there’s all these pictures of Hook and Cora around town that it seems like they weren’t trying to keep hidden at all. It’s hard to tell though from just the picture like how there was that spoiler about how Regina zapped Emma with a spell right after she returned, and that didn’t happen in “Queen of Hearts” instead Regina was absorbing the magic to save Emma and Snow. Unless that person was talking about that happening in “The Cricket Game”, but fandom made it seem as though it was going to happen immediately after Emma returned.
I also have a feeling that Cora is going to use her magic to impersonate Archie, hence the title “The Cricket Game.” Disguised as Regina’s therapist, Cora could play mind games with Regina, plant negative thoughts about the Charmings in her head, and convince her to keep Henry “safe” using magic, thus pushing Regina off of the no-magic bandwagon.

Yes, Cora is definitely going to mess with Regina’s head in some way. I loved that they made Cora so twisted last night instead of having her just go wanting revenge on her daughter route. It makes it even more messed up that she actually believes that she’s helping Regina than if she had been like Hook and only wanted to revenge on her daughter like he wants revenge on Rumple.
Yes, Emma finding Baelfire is surely the favor she owes Mr. Gold. Also, Jennifer Morrison confirmed that while Emma thinks she knows all about Henry’s dad, Neal, there is also a part of him she doesn’t know at all. I think the part she doesn’t know is that Neal’s real identity is Baelfire.
I loved that the main parts about the promo were about Regina relapsing, Hook’s battle with Rumple, and Rumple trying to find his son since I think those 3 plot points will be what gets the most time in the second half of the season. It definitely fits in with what MRJ saying that in the second half of the season he would be in the show a lot if Neal is Bae.
I also loved that the promo seemed to be hinting at Neal being Bae too since they showed the Charmings right before that, and the voice over said “family secrets will be revealed.” If it’s just Rumple’s secret about Bae, that really doesn’t seem to warrant a big voice over about secrets coming out, but if Bae is Neal too, then that line makes sense.

OMG, the promo. Lana Parrilla hotness!!!!
0:15 scene – it looks SO GOOD!
And what’s that with Emma not letting Henry see Regina or what???? Please don’t do that…My personal guess is that Gold has told Emma that she needs to go and find Bae as her favour. She wants to take Henry with her, firstly because they’ve only just been reunited, and secondly because they must be aware that Cora is going to try and get to Storybrooke. Cora knows about Henry, and it wouldn’t really be safe for him to be there when she arrives.

Your poor Hook hits, or hits on everyone 😀
Ironically no he hasn’t.. He hit on Snow to rile her up, and well he hits on Emma every time he’s near her but he never hit on Regina or Aurora or Mulan… And the only person he hit was Belle and that was mostly out of frustration (not condoning it just telling it like I see it)
I do think Cora is going to do something to Archie and that will be to get to Regina, which sets her off and Charmings come with this plan to protect Henry but Regina sees it as something against her which is why she does that

Actually, he slapped her and then raised up his hook like he was getting ready to kill her. 😥
Doing that to Belle put Hook into villain territory. He may consider himself a gentleman but there was nothing gentlemanly about his actions there. Belle is an innocent and the moment villains start going after innocents then their days are numbered. (I’m not talking about “Redshirts” whose purpose is to be killed”).
