The whole Charming family has been nice to her considering what she has done. Prince Charming lets her stay with Henry and watch over him. He has not once tried to rally the town against her–it wouldn’t work, though 🙂 But he has not spoken a harsh word to and of her.

Emma said thank you numerous times in the episode and was very sincere about it. She acted almost kind to Regina, understanding that Regina put in a lot of effort to help her and Snow White. And Henry was sweet to Regina, hugging her and believing in her.

Snow White didn’t do much, but in the previous episode, from the sound of it, she may be capable of forgiveness or tolerance.

And I don’t get why they have to invite Mr. Gold, either. Seeing as how he was willing to kill them off, they don’t owe him much. Both he and Emma seem to know that.

Henry did show that he cares for her. He tries to guide her to do good, and he encourages her to keep trying. If Regina had been acting like her old self, Henry would have fond a way to stop her secretly stop hr with a plot. 🙂 Instead he confronted her, talked with her, and told her to believe in him as he believes in her. And he ends up hugging her–he has never came and hugged her with a sweet smile.

But Regina still did try to kill the people that he loves. She killed Graham. She tried to make everyone believe that he was crazy. Snow White suffered a lot because of Regina, as did Prince Charming and Emma.

Despite how crammed it is, I think this is one of the strongest episodes this season so far. First off, glad both Snow White and Emma are back in Storybrooke. 🙂 I’m am gonna miss Princess Aurora and Mulan–hope we will see them again. It is great how they are both going off to find Philip together.

Loved how Snow White kissed him awake and how she was able to use the magic. Her fight with Cora was awesome and well done, too.

Loved Emma in this episode. 😀 We see more of her insecurities–she knows she is the savior, and yet she feels helpless and does not know how to embrace her role. Her fight with Captain Hook was awesome–the fight secnes between the two of them were awesome, and I loved how she knocked him out. 😀

Rumpelstiltskin still annoys me–I know he is popular, but not only do I think he is overrated, I think he is a jerk. I already found it silly when Belle said that it would take a while for people to warm up to him when he is a murderer and a manipulator. But his little lines to Regina were a bit harsh.

Also, I think the whole built of of sympathy for Regina is ridiculous. She has killed and tortured and imprisoned people and yet we are meant to feel for her. I know she helped Snow White and Emma and that is great, but that won’t make her friends with everyone in town right away. Henry already showed her how he is starting to trust and believe in her by staying with her more and with the hug he gave her. And yet he and everyone are horrible when they do not invite her to dinner.

Finally! Loved his backstory. Was a bit annoyed when they stopped showing more about him. 🙂

There is not much to do with his character. He was already a bully before he met Milah. As a villain, he seems pretty average, though last weeks episode showed how cunning he could be.

He has gone through a lot, waited centuries for his revenge. Everything that he has done has been for him get back at Rumpelstiltskin for what he had done. 🙂 He only spent a few hours with Emma, who does not trust him.

[elle]

In her defense, she was still a teenager. She had just been abandoned, and she wanted to hold out on hope. A lot of the women on this show react pretty badly when the man they love dies or leaves them. 🙂

Regina (combined with her tragic abuse) became vengeful and blamed everything on Snow White. Snow White (though Prince Charming did not leave her) became depressed and tried to forget him. And Belle sat in a bar lonely and wistful.

I want him to say simply because of how interesting this can be taken–also, it is good to have someone play the antagonist seeing as how the two main ones from last season are looking for redemption. Not that that is a problem. 🙂 Just that there needs to be conflict within he show. Cora will probably have her scenes also, but Captain Hook is a bit more colorful.

We know he wants revenge on Rumpelstiltskin. Regina is going to hate him for helping Cora. Belle is not going to befriend him. Emma is sheriff and will probably have numerous confrontations with him.

This might be a bit off topic here, but I am wondering why people seem to be loving Emma and Captain Hook.

[elle]

Probably a minority here, but I kinda hope that Captain Hook does not look for any redemption or soul-searching. Already the main villains last season went from being evil/highly manipulative to trying to redeem themselves and change for their loved ones. 🙂

It would be nice to have an antagonist that is not looking for change or redemption.

She kept the car the same reason she kept the keychain and looked for Neal for two years in Tallahasse. She has feelings for him–I think she still loves him. 🙂
