Maybe Lily is the Black Fairy, exiled to the World Without Magic?
Yeah! Lily seems like the roommate in Buffy 4.02 “Living Conditions”.

I sympathize. Good DPNS are expensive, and favourite needles become like extensions of your hands, hard to replace.

I’m hoping that Emma’s memories are intact, and that all of the Snow Queen evidence is fake.

Apart from the baiting, I question if Snow really is back to being like herself because instead of writing her like the amazing Bandit she was, she’s coming across as a big-ol-goofball. This might be due to Ginny having just given birth but the moment with Will, while funny, didn’t seem very Bandit Snow to me.
I thought she was behaving out of character as Mary Margaret, too. Neither version of Snow laughs it off when her husband lies to her, like with the poison or the sword in the stone.

Any time the show features a mark on someone’s wrist now, there’s a whole extra layer of awkward.

The makeup didn’t seem right for him. I thought the power would manifest differently for each Dark One, and gold is Rumpel’s theme.

The in-story explanation could be that someone already has the book that Wil really wanted.

If he gets enough magic, he can be free of the dagger’s control–the chief limit to his powers. He can be free and keep his powers.
I think it’s the other way around: the Dark One wants to be free of its human host. I think it’s most likely that the Dark One entity wants to die, and that it’s long been manipulating its hosts to this end, just like its hosts — when their burden becomes too great — trick others into taking up tne power and the curse of the dagger.

I’m thinking that the page with the Red Queen is the Red Queen. Human transformation is a theme in this episode: the puppets featured prominently in the background at Rumpel’s, and Mickey the Apprentice turned into a mouse. Maybe Wil needs to return Anastasia to her story.

Swans (as in “swan song”) are a death metaphor, so that’s got to figure into a show about literary tropes. And a swan dive is as fatalistic a gesture as you can get on the screen.
