1. Any shard of glass you find in an underground tunnel will definitely be a piece of shoe, and not a broken beer bottle. (I wish I had learned this earlier, so many possibilities!)
2. People in Hyperion Heights either have no afternoon plans, or are just really big fans of group gardening. But not big enough fans to do any gardening until now.
3. When in doubt, just say that you saw it in your magic mirror.
Loved: Regina as the voice of reason. She’s been through a lot and has come out on the side of good. So, any advice she has to give comes from a place of real empathy
Mixed: WR Hook and Tiana making eyes at each other. It’s weird and I’m not ready for WR Hook to make eyes at anyone yet. I’m still getting over him not being the real Hook.
Theory: Lady Tremaine didn’t dig up the info on Henry’s heart on her own. Whoever gave her the info neglected to tell her Henry’s heart is protected. Was this forgotten intentionally? I think she heard about Henry from someone who wants to get into our world. They hoped she would follow Henry as he took the portal back to our world. Maybe someone looking for their daughter who has inexplicably made it to Washington? Hook could be playing double agent here.
Extra Theory: LT didn’t cast the curse, since that would involve her giving up Anastasia. Clearly that didn’t happen, but somehow she is still awake. I think Rumple cast the curse in order to get away from something in alt EF. However, I think LT added some element to it, similar to Zelena in season 3. It would explain why Rumple seems to be awake, and Belle’s absence from this season.
