    Can they show when Henry and Archie did this as the flashback for the episode?

    It’s obviously Alice but does anyone care?

    Im still sticking to my theory that Alice is Baby Robin grown up. Especially, since time seems to be working differently this time around.

    It isn’t a matter of opinion. It was said on the show multiple times, and stated. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.

    Firebird, Season 5 Episode 20.  Confirmed true love when they went to open the doors in the Underworld to get ambrosia.

    The chess piece could also be a Tangled reference, as this line is in the lyrics for the song “When Will My Life Begin”: “Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess.”

    Quote

    Yes!  I was just going to comment about that.

    Here’s my crazy theory. I think  Wish Hook’s daughter is Rapunzel and Lady Tremaine is the mother. I think she is the ‘other’ step-sister.  I also think this is why Lady Tremaine doesn’t like magic since a witch stole her daughter. But she obviously gets seduced by it very easily.

    She was not acting like Emma at all. Where’s her skepticism and cynicism?  And having Wish Hook go with Henry so some form of Killian was with her son?  Just..no. It almost would’ve been easier if Hook or Regina told Henry Emma was pregnant and she didn’t have to be there. I was happy to get another Hook/Emma kiss. They didn’t have a proper one in the finale.

    And I totally forgot, what’s up with all the magic beans?  Did Tiny’s crop finally come through (the one he was tending with Ruby back in season 3)?  That’s he only explanation I have for three beans to be used in the episode.

    I was so scared to watch this episode because I was afraid of what was going to happen to Emma to cause Hook to be cursed without her. I’m glad that she’s okay, but not happy that this is not our Hook.

     

    LIKED:

    Rogers is a good guy and maybe Weaver is too?  I thought maybe Rogers was going to end up being an undercover Internal Affairs officer of some kind, but I guess not.

    Henry getting Jacinda in to see Lucy’s show, although, that was some plot contrivance that he just happened to post a job on an app that he didn’t even know she was looking at.

    Regina staying with Henry.  Although, I wonder what Zelena has to say about that since everything Regina does is always impacting her in some way.

    Emma’s pregnant!  So happy!

    MIXED:

    I’m okay with Wish Hook being in the new EF.  He made it pretty clear that he was searching all realms.  I’m not sure how I feel about cursed Hook not being our Hook.  He’s a completely different character that we’ll be getting a completely different backstory for.

    Does he know Lady Tremaine from the Wish Realm or somewhere else?  It sounded like she was the one who took his hand, which would mean Milah and his feud with Rumple didn’t exist in his world.  Unless Lady Tremaine is his ‘Milah’.

    The chess piece suggests his daughter could be Alice, but the tower and witch reference sound like Rapunzel.

    Emma didn’t really do much in this episode.  She seemed like a completely different character.  I know she’s supposed to be experiencing blissful happiness, but she’s always been skeptical and cynical and none of that was here.

    DISLIKED:

    The age thing was not mentioned.  But, this is when Henry first meets Cinderella, so I’m thinking it’s only been two or three years since he left.  But since Henry and all the new EF characters also look the same age, I’m wondering if there is something that makes them not age.  There is nothing to distinguish them as being younger.

    Henry asked about the Charming’s but not his Uncle Neal, Rumple, Belle, or Gideon.

    I’m confused about Rogers ‘cursed’ backstory.  I thought he was a beat cop who just became a detective but he’s talking about the missing girl’s case from years ago that he worked on.  Was he just a first responder on the scene?  He seems pretty attached to that case if so.

    The problem is that Henry referenced different cultures of fairy tales. Yes, there are 400 versions of Cinderella, but they’ve essentially taken the Disney version and added a Hispanic Cinderella. This is not based on any other real version. If they were going to go this route they needed to commit to a real alternate version.

    I’ve also decided that time must be different in this alternate Enchanted Forest. It’s the only explaination as to why Regina, Hook, and Rumple are the same age while Henry has aged at least 15 years.

    – The names of the characters…..Roni, Jacinda, Weaver? It’s like they aren’t even trying anymore –

    Quote

    Roni is most likely short for Veronica, which means to bring victory, which is hopefully foreshadowing Regina getting the best of whomever cast the curse.  Jacinda is actually a variant of Hyacintha, a reference to the Hyacinth flower which Henry stated was Cinderella’s flower, so very fitting for the HH character.  Weaver works for Rumple because, although I know he technically spins straw, some people refer to it as weaving straw into gold.

    I think Hyperion was created just the same as SB was. The only difference is that whereas SB has barriers to keep people inside and prevent others from leaving, Hyperion doesn’t and Tremaine is encouraging others to leave and disperse and outsiders to enter. I don’t think the city was already existing.

    Quote

    That makes a lot more sense. Although, it does seem as though Jacinda can’t leave. She had multiple obstacles preventing her from crossing the bridge outside of the city.
