Also, with David, he knows the name. He clearly didn’t know Robin Hood’s name. That little smile at the end of the clip? He’s got the name, which gives him power to find the thief. Names matter.

Well, it’s a reference to her parents’ first request when she was a baby–“Find us” and to her job as a bail bondsperson. She’s good at finding people, perhaps because that request–and her destiny–was there in her brain from the very start.

I’m liking that the pace of this episode actually seems reasonable–people have time to actually talk for once! And they didn’t forget August.

We’ve seen Rumple switch up accents before–he switched when he was talking to Killian, too. Midsentence that time. FTL Rumple is just that random.

I wonder if Rumple (who was only Mr. Gold at the time anyway, so it’s a very what-if question) would have arranged for Regina to get Henry if he’d known of their biological relationship at the time. Somehow I think he probably wouldn’t have. Of course, it would be a totally different story in that case…

I would see it going down more as Emma in Sheriff mode is hunting for someone and comes across Neal, who is kneeling…so maybe he found something, too, and was trying to sort it out, and of course Emma’s suspicions are already up and so is her gun.

And it looks like the bodyslamming fight happens in the same timeframe, cuz he’s bent over in the foreground. So Tamara maybe comes up behind Emma and possibly incapacitates Neal and then Emma goes in for the attack?

Of course, I loved Dreamy and Tiny–partly because the characters actually got a bit of happiness for once. That’s so -rare- with the main cast because their stories are so much bigger. But in Dreamy, Leroy found a way to prove himself despite his reputation (even if I still wanna see him back together with Nova/Astrid), and in Tiny, Anton overcame some incredible sadness and (for him, unnatural) hatred to find a new family. Happy moments. And even the filler episodes do move the plot a few inches–Dreamy was partly about MM dealing with her reputation being sullied and Tiny introduced the new beans that are probably going to be very important in the near future, among other elements.

Ser, Happy, it’s okay–there’ve been plenty of episodes that we Rumbellers were like “Come on, where’s Belle?” Waaaaaaaaaaaay too many of them since they put her in the hospital, if you ask me.

But, luckily, this is Once, and there’ll be other stories intertwined. And I think we’re gonna see Regina getting back some of her own this time. Belle was the one time she seriously outmaneuvered Rumple in FTL, and she’s used Belle to get her way in SB before, too. So I’m expecting some momentarily viciously gleeful Regina in the process.

Right now I’m kinda terrified they’ll end on the “You really are as dark as people say” note on Sunday. That would be awful.

I’m quite convinced that the point of the backstory will be to show us what she fell in love with. And that makes me squee a bit. This ep will kill us with feels.
