I like this episode but I don’t know what gave it away for me that they’d go Ladyhawk with the sleeping curse. Something early in the episode made me think of it.

I think Zelena returns to Storybrooke. Pretends  to be blue to get to babyhood. Hades being Hades knows where she is the portal is to bring Zelena to underbrooke, Belle is caught with zelena/ blue & babyhood at the opportune moment of the portal opening.

Anyone else remember Jim Henson’s  the Story teller?

The sack reminds me of this:
<h4 style=”color: black; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; border-bottom-style: none; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px; font-family: sans-serif; background-image: none; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;”>The Soldier and Death[edit]</h4>
<p style=”margin: 0.5em 0px; line-height: 22.4px; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;”>Taken from an early Russian folk tale retold in English by Arthur Ransome and is also inspired by Godfather Death. A soldier returns home after 20 years of war, with three biscuits in his knapsack. On his way he meets three beggars to whom he gives the biscuits; in return one gives him a ruby whistle, one the jolliest dance, and the final man, who gets the last biscuit despite the soldier being hungry himself, in return gives him a pack of magic playing cards and a musty sack that has the power to trap anything ordered into it. Using the sack, the soldier manages to trap a flock of geese, and so manages to feed himself. Upon arriving at an abandoned castle overrun with small devils, he plays them in a game of cards, winning 40 barrels of gold, and when they try to kill him, he captures them in the sack only letting them go when they promise to never return. He makes one of them swear to serve him and keeps its foot as leverage. Quickly becoming rich and famous because he removed the devils from a palace that is owned by the Tzar, his luck runs short when his son becomes deathly ill. Calling upon the devil, the soldier is given a glass goblet that allows the owner to see Death. If Death is at the foot of the person’s bed (as was the case with his son), he or she will recover if sprinkled with water from the goblet. If Death is at the head of the bed, nothing can be done. Then the Tzar becomes ill and the soldier, seeing Death at the head of his bed, makes a bargain with Death: his life in exchange for the Tzar’s. Death takes his offer and gives the illness to the soldier, curing the Tzar. Lying in his death bed, he summons Death into his sack, and stops death from happening everywhere. But as time goes on, he sees people everywhere who are waiting for death that will not come. So he frees Death, who fears the soldier and his sack so much that he refuses to take the soldier’s life. The soldier, old and weary of life, seeks out a way to die. He travels down to the underworld, forcing the devils at the gates (the same ones from before) to give him two hundred souls and a map to heaven. Terrified of the sack, the devils agree to his demands. Upon reaching the gates of heaven, he asks to be let in with the souls while begging for forgiveness from God, but he is denied by the gatekeeper. He gives the sack to one of the souls, asking the soul to summon him into the sack when he has passed through the gates. But since there is no memory in heaven, the soul forgets and the soldier is condemned to live forever upon the Earth. In closing, the storyteller remarks (with a smile) that the soldier is still probably about his business. As the Storyteller tosses the bag aside, a devil emerges from the bag unnoticed by the Storyteller, but noticed by the dog who dismisses it as his imagination.</p>

Why is it inappropriate for the writers to use a common tradition of naming a child after a loved one?

I don’t think they will name the baby Marian. possibly Cora. Zelena longed for the connection of love with her mother. So did Regina despite the trauma they did have a small reconciliation. I could see them agreeing to Cora & Robin loving Regina would go along with it.

It looks like Emma is drawing darkness out of hook, or maybe she is putting dark one magic in him? Either way hook is not looking too good in this pic 0.o

I’m thinking this is in Camelot Emma uses Hook’s heart for the DC. She gives him the other 1/2 of her own & uses the sword to keep ? cut? the darkness & takes it all upon herself.

lol. It sort of makes me think of the black Caldron & the army of the dead. I keep imagining the witch’s caldron Merida used & all the dead baddies spilling out.

I don’t think it is the DC. I think Emma collected memories with the Dreamcatchers, set barriers for a reason. It’s dark magic for certain.  It looks like yes shes jaded maybe even out to right some “wrongs” she feels have occurred. The thing is she is influenced by the dark mind game & can”t conceal her thoughts from herself if she was planning to rid herself of it. Perhaps she decided SB is just where she wants to be she collected who she may need for her vengance/course correction/scheme to reunite the sword & daggar. The barrier just keeps it together. No savior because its not the dc.
