What if we are overthinking this and it’s not the return of former actor who was on the show, but an older character we haven’t seen in present day in a while, IE the evil queen? There are some theories out there that with the *possible* introduction of jekyll and hyde, Regina gets hit with a Jeckilitis curse. Maybe this is what they are talking about. Maybe Robin dies (or they think he dies) but instead of going crazy evil Regina is able to cope with the support of the SwanMills clan…that is until she gets cursed and can’t control her inner darkness. So BAM! return of Evil Queen, but we still get to keep reformed Regina.

Oh other random thought from this episode, those magic cuff seem to pop up a lot these days. How did they even get to underbrook or did PP make more for Hades in exchange for a cushy underworld life?

As an individual episode I liked it well enough, but I feel like the underbrook arc is dragging on a bit with little suspense. I think I would have enjoyed this episode a lot more if it had happened earlier in the season perhaps.
Likes:
young Zelena and young Regina meeting. This was done much better than I had anticipated even if the setup was a bit wonky. It was especially fun to see young zelena practicing magic and also seeing them playing dress up.
The Hook and Cora reunion. I didn’t realize I needed this until it happened. I think my favorite part of the episode was Cora calling hook her fairy godmother.
the return of Robbie Kay! I’m really not sure what Rumple is up to, but if it involves my favorite villain I will play along for a bit. He does evil so so well.
Dislikes:
James and David encounter…. eh. I wish this had happened earlier in the season and the switcheroo lasted a bit longer with Emma sensing something was off similar to how she sensed something was off about Liam. It seems soo unlikely that Emma wouldn’t have picked up on it back at the loft when he awkwardly couldn’t remember that photo. (although I did enjoy Emma’s line about all the curses and time jumps – I think they wrote that for us fans.)

Anyone else excited to see bail bondsperson Emma again? Also it is a Jane Espenson episode so I’m super pumped for next week.

Guys, they are supposed to be the heroes! They can’t swap out names for people they like less. That’s not very heroic. It reminds me of the end of season 2 when Regina was going to sacrifice herself and Henry pointed out that the heroes needed to find a way to save her even if she was once the evil queen. Zelena like it or not is family to Regina so I don’t think they will leave her trapped there. Banishing her to Oz is one thing, keeping her permanently in the UW is another.

Let’s be real, assuming it is TLK that wakes her up and not some other random new magic rule that never existed before, it is going to be Rumple. It is way too anticlimactic to have Belle’s father wake her up, this is going to be the way to reform Rumple and get him to save Belle. I can’t see the show resolving this any other way. While stranger things have happened, I can’t see the show passing on a TLK opportunity like this for one of show’s main couples (even if they do have a rocky relationship.)

I actually really enjoyed this episode! I mean the big sticking point for me was that Mulan Rouge didn’t happen (and also like Keb I was a fan of Frankenwolf.) Dorothy just seems so random and out of the blue to have a TLK moment, but eh they pulled it off better than the Zades bike ride and there were plenty of other heart warming moments tonight to help make up for it.
LIKED
Okay I LOVED the Captain Charming moment! I’m glad Hook said thank you and said he didn’t want everyone to venture to underbrook for him. I’m also very happy Hook was able to help Snowing out by finding a loophole that gets Snow out of the underworld. Hook found a way to be helpful and I also got a nice CS moment from that too!
Snow and Ruby moments, all of them. The moment where Snow convinces Ruby to try TLK, the moment where Snow SEES the TLK, you can tell she is over the moon happy for her best friend. I wish Ruby was in more episodes, she was always one of my favorite characters
I liked how they sold the Ruby Slippers match up. Again I’m still sad for Mulan, that was a big missed opportunity, but I liked them bonding over being outcasts, that felt natural at least.
Snow going back to be with her son.
Zelena helping Belle (I’m assuming that’s where she got the sleeping curse?)
MIXED
The actual TLK with Ruby slippers. Yes I think the pairing was done better than I anticipated (again them bonding over outcasts was nicely done)… but the actual TLK moment? Eh they barely bonded for what an hour? Maybe if it had been set up over a few episodes I would have bought it more. It seemed like they were setting up Mulan Rogue last arc and then got cold feet. There wasn’t much build up for a TLK moment like that.
Zades… yeah… Idk guys. I like Hades a lot for a villain, but his romance with Zelena is weird. Also, I don’t trust him and that he is only doing certain things for Zelena. I think he gets some sort of power from keeping people in the river of lost souls. I think stopping Auntie Em from helping Dorothy may have had the added bonus of preventing her from moving on. Also if hades hates growth so much and hates hope springing up in the form of daisies why is he so eager to get a TLK with Zelena to start his heart..isn’t that hope? Wouldn’t TL and a beating heart help things grow again? Maybe I don’t understand the mechanics of underbrook that well or his motive.
Belle and the sleeping curse… Well I guess that it is one way to stop a pregnancy from accelerating (not one I would have thought of, but I guess it does do the trick), but you want your Dad to wake you up? um huh? The same father who wanted you to marry Gaston for his army even though he knew he wasn’t a good man? The same father who was prepared to send you over the town line against your will so you would lose your true self? I mean I know Belle forgave her father and he even gave his blessing to rumbelle.. but eh he wouldn’t be my first choice for a TLK and that’s a lot of faith right there to assume it will all work out. Also, I don’t understand rumple anymore. I stopped understanding him a while ago so I won’t get into it all here, however I do think this is setting him up to reform and wake up Belle with a TLK. I’m sorry it’s WAY too anticlimactic to have Mr. French wake up Belle – IF anyone does it is going to be Rumple. And I’m not sure how I feel about that after everything that has happened with them. These two definitely need some counseling with Mr. Hopper when they get back. (Also, I’m surprised Belle did this and Rumple didn’t just poof the needle out of her hands.)
DISLIKE
Mulan!!!! My poor Mulan! At the very least I’m happy they didn’t make this a love triangle situation, but UGH!!! I wish they would give this woman some justice.

Okay I finally was able to watch the season 2 finale and holy smokes!!! It blew my expectations out of the water and I will definitely be joining you on your search for good izombie podcasts. I’ll need to get my izombie fix some how while it is on hiatus.

FYI it seems that they know of the mistake and it will not be in the episode.
@aKBloodwords abc messed up. That's NOT what we put in the episode. No idea how that happened

What about Character’s giving birth? We know Belle is pregnant so that is a possibility. Unless you think they will wait until next season?
