Perhaps it’s something completely different? Perhaps they’ve decided to create brand new characters for an arc and making their own fairytale?
Could be, but I hope not. Sounds too much like a spin-off.

Hm. Does anyone else want to put down a few cookies that Baby Bae was given a memory potion along with the anti-vemon and thus why he doesn’t remember the near-death experience.
Either that or rock trolls.

This guy looks like he’s from Braveheart.

An untold story could be Henry’s new story that he writes.

Here is one of the issues that Lily Sparks raised about this episode and entire arc in general; I happen to agree.
Now look, just gonna be real here for a sec. Feel free to disagree! This country is a rich tapestry of volatile opinions and this is not different. It’s my personal opinion that a series jumps the shark when the main characters go to visit an afterlife in a dream sequence. I believe that was true for True Blood, for The Vampire Diaries, for Supernatural, and so on. Because once you take away the mystery from your series’ conceptualization of death, you take away all stakes and/or the idea of death as a real threat to the characters. For example, when characters “die” on Once Upon a Time, we now imagine them in reddish Storybrooke, wearing sweaters and eating burgers (maybe slightly dryer, but still). It’s not exactly the same stakes as when death is what it is to real people: the great unknown. So the idea that Hook was threatening Hades with non-death or death plus or whatever… felt kind of stake-less? They would find a solution to this later that was very elegant—I’ll get to that at the end of the review—but in this moment, all I could think was “Right. Conceptualized afterlife added onto premise is just never a good storyline.”

Do you think showing the Underworld is a “jump the shark” moment of any fantasy show?

I’m just really excited for more Rumple-Baelfire interaction. We haven’t had an episode about them since 3×4 Nasty Habits.

Alternatively, what if Henry and Violet teamed up to accomplish some secret mission, while unbeknownst to them, Rumple is on the same mission?

In addition to Rumple being in NYC, so are Henry and Violet (on what appears to be the street where Neal’s apartment is located). This is all happening in an episode called Only You.
I swear, I need to calm down and take a nap. #NoMoreHope

Okay, I understand that Jared himself is growing up quite quickly, but in the show universe, Henry is still only 14(ish). C rushes and puppy love are one thing (and since it got next to no development in S5A, it can remain in the teeny bopper phase). I mean, yay for the show remembering that Violet was a thing, but whyyyy are they in NYC? Seemingly alone? Or at least sans parents?
Well, they’re not totally alone in the Big Apple, because we know Rumple is there, too. So, at least Henry and Violet aren’t totally unchaparoned. It might be that Rumple and Henry travelled there together on some mission, but that they split up for a few hours.
