Multi Verse….I just can’t see Regina wanting that sort of responsibility. She just needs to go back to her own timeline where everyone else is and continue reigning over Storybrooke….the ONLY person who could possibly be Ruler over all the Realms would have to be Henry. So I think it’s young Henry’s Coronation because he’s technically the heir to the Enchanted Forest due to being the son of the Evil Queen/grandson of Snowing, Neverland because he’s Peter Pan’s grandson, Oz because he’s the Wicked Witch of the West’s nephew, Wonderland because he’s the Queen of Heart’s grandson, and technically Storybrooke because he’s once again the Evil Queen’s son.
Henry is the only person with rights to every land….so if anyone becomes Multi Verse King, it would have to be him.

You guys, we’re really closing in on our last review of the episode!
This episode wasn’t as neatly written as the last few episodes, so I’m hoping that by some miracle we’re shown that they saved the best for last, next week.

Seeing Cruella De Vil, Peter Pan, and Ariel again was a surprising delight.
They remembered the prophecy and actually plan on seeing it through….definitely a surprise!
Henry’s family choosing to be heroes and choosing to go with him to the Wish Realm.
Seeing how far all three of our villains have come, Regina, Rumple, & Hook used to be thought of as the worst of the worst but we’ve seen in later seasons that they’re capable of not only changing for the better, but they’re capable of choosing the one thing they always fought…love. So Lana, Bobby, and Colin….they carried Season 7 well by themselves, in the end….it’s just not enough due to the questionable writing they’ve had to endure bringing to life.
Once again….Alice and Robyn are the best ship of Season 7! I love Henry but if I’m being honest…season 7 probably could’ve worked a bit better had it been revolved around them in the first place, LOL!
Mixed:
Tiana….girl….Snow White was nine months pregnant and fighting Wicked Witches, Flying Monkeys, and a Dark Curse….you have no excuses! LOL!!!
I care about Lucy and I’m sorry if it’s mean….but I honestly wouldn’t care if Jacinda died….I’m just not attached to this Cinderella. We definitely need to save Lucy….but Cindy…I just don’t care.
Dislike:
I guess we do need one last Magical McGuffin before the end.
Henry and Rumple EF Scenes….I guess they don’t know they’re related.
How many years has it been in Wish Realm EF, ya’ll?!!! Should Henry even still be a teenager?!!

How nice of them to lie, mislead or give the vaguest non-answers possible one more time
ROFL!!! You put into words how I feel after seven years of that treatment from them!!!

I cried….cried more times than I have in a long time with OUAT. This episode hit me in all of my feels, and overall was just the best episode of the season! This episode reminded me what OUAT used to be before ship wars, terrible writing choices, and any other disaster that happened over the last seven years…..this was a love letter to OUAT in it’s prime, when it was at it’s absolute best!

The nostalgia hit me in so many waves, it was uncontrollable! Even when Regina was doing Henry’s height and we see all the way from where he began up till this point….we watched Jared Gilmore grow up before our very eyes and his return was much needed and just beautiful!
Seeing the full circle and total redemption Rumplestilskin has made has been the highlight of this season, but this episode just really reinforced that our imp has changed for the better! His willingness to help his family, even Hook, without expecting anything in return made me all the more proud!
Alice and Robyn were so cute, adorable, precious, and just the best written love story of Season 7! I wish we could’ve seen more of these two!
Alice, when I tell you that Alice was the best addition to Season 7….i mean that with everything in my heart! And her speech to Gothel was just like so Golden Days OUAT that I shed a tear! Her “I choose love” was spoken with such conviction and clarity, that Rose Reynolds really sold this character and her story! Geez, I wish there was so much more of Alice to see!!! And her and Hook….I’m just gonna be honest, I think this is some of Hook’s best storyline wise!
So long Mother Gothel, no one will miss you dearie!
Now for RegalBeliever….everyone knows that for the past seven years, I’ve been moved to the moon and back over Regina and Henry, but this episode made me ugly cry for them! Even though there were two Henrys, I barely noticed a difference between Jared and Andrew with Lana because the three of them sold this mother and son centered episode like it was worth a billion dollars!
People may and definitely will disagree with me on this, but Emma is true in fact Henry’s biological mother and the two have shared some wonderful times together in the eight years she’s known him…..but Regina is without a doubt, Henry’s mom! I cried and cried and cried during this episode because I remembered how far they’ve come, and to see this level of unconditional love, moves me incredibly! Even Regina’s willingness to let Henry leave out of Storybrooke, or even the realm to find himself moved me! Out of the entire series, this mother and son duo will always be my favorite thing and the one thing I’ll truly miss once the series is over.
“I remember everything you taught me….” yep….that line did it for me! RegalBeliever always and forever!
Disliked:
A bit iffy on this timeline, but too emotional to really care.
Why was Dr. Facilier any sort of a threat again….what was his goal?!!!

Awwww mama and son off to look at schools
You know i’m gonna teary eyed at this!!! No matter what was done that i didn’t like or wasn’t rather fond of, storytelling wise….RegalBeliever will always be my number one favorite thing about OUAT! (Sigh) Had he listened to his mama and just went to college, most of the crap in Season 7 never would’ve happened, probably, LOL!!!
And so the fandom prepared to be bear witness to another crackship setting sail lol
Girl, I’m not even gonna lie….I raised a eye brow and quirked a grin at this! LOL!!! It would’ve been better than what he’s got with Jacinda….lol!!!!

I’m still a bit lost on how a hundred or so human army could wipe out an entire magical race….that’s like saying our world could defeat Harry Potter’s when one simple curse could annihilate someone.

A slump from the last few great episodes….at least it was fun while it lasted, lol!
Liked:
That Jacinda scene with Lucy was one of the only scenes where I really liked the role of Cinderella all season.
Lucy showing off those bargaining/manipulative skills she gets from Henry’s mother/grandfather side of the family, LOL!!!
Tilly & Rogers father/daughter connection
Mixed:
So is Facilier a good guy or a bad guy?
You know what, I just can’t see leaving my “amnesiac” kid in a dangerous magical city….so although I truly support Zelena….I can’t help but question the writing choice to just have her abort mission and leave her sister to fight this fight alone, especially when her own daughter’s life could be at stake.
Dislike:
How the hell did the security guard wake up a coven of witches?! LMAO
Typical backstory for Gothel
No Rumple and no Regina

Overall, it’s a great follow up to the last great episode! Hopefully OUAT stays on track till the end.
Liked:
Bobby Carlyle outdid himself in this episode, not just flashback wise but present day as well! This was some of his best acting since the Belle Centric Episode, and Rumple just incredibly moved me tonight!
Can we please give a round of applause to the best addition of Season 7, Alice!!! Her story interests me more than Henry’s, and that’s really saying something!!! This actress continues to amaze me, and her connection with Robyn moves me in a way I haven’t been moved since the early days of OutlawQueen! Alice just really has been the best part of Season 7!
Seeing how far Rumple has come really just made me realize even more that the end of the series is here, but seeing his sacrifice for the daughter of Hook, his used to be worst enemy, really just did wonders!!! I’m just so proud of our straw spinning beast, he’s really changed!
The friendly mentor/student relationship Rumple has with Alice has got to be one of my favorite things of Season 7! They really just get and understand one another, and it’s really special!
Okay, gotta say, I love the touch of Coco Movie that they did in here for Belle!
Mixed:
Regina, for as long as you’ve known Rumple and technically speaking….aside from Hook, you’re his oldest living friend, I would think that Regina wouldn’t be so quick to jump down Rumple’s throat over something as important as the dagger, that she knows can spell destruction if ever in the wrong hands.
I’m just at a crossroads with how I feel for Henry’s story….it’s just….boring. I mean, him being the son of the Evil Queen and the Savior, I just felt like Henry deserved such a better story than what we’re being shown.
Dislike:
Whose our big bad this season again?! LOL! Can’t take Facilier too seriously because I don’t know what his true deal is with Regina and Mother Gothel’s been missing for two episodes!

I’m just gonna say it….this ties with the Rumple & Belle Centric episode for me! Hands down, I already know this will be one of the best in the season! Lana Parrilla directed the hell out of this episode and Rebecca Mader acted her a** off! So I’m just like…..wow!
Liked:
Zelena….when we were first introduced to Zelena, I was immediately intrigued by her because I just knew….coming from the Mills Family, she was gonna be one hell of a character and I’m so glad I was right! Do I disagree with certain creative decisions made for this character, yes, but this episode was the epitome of why I rooted so hard for Zelena’s happy ending because at the end of the day, she just wanted someone to love and accept her for who she was and she finally has that with her sister, her daughter, and now her very own true love Chad!
This was the best flashback of this season half and overall best flashback for Zelena Mills period! I had no idea how they were gonna pull off Hansel & Gretel in Oz but they did it! Another round of applause for Rebecca!
Seeing Zelena do what Rumple and Regina had to do, by finding closure with her past and taking responsibility for her sins, while embracing both the light and the darkness….it really felt full circle and Rebecca Mader was so brilliant in this, like wow! And her speech towards the end with her daughter, geez, despite how she got Robyn….I gotta admit, it tugged at my heartstrings seeing how good of a mother Zelena actually became. Cora was unfortunately unable to love like a true mother should while she was alive, but Zelena and Regina truly did better despite the terrifying example they had of a mother. And I’m pretty positive Cora was smiling down on her daughters because of that.
Rumple helping Zelena out because he knew that’s what Belle would have wanted! Our Dark One has come so far everybody!!!!
Rebecca Mader and Lana Parrilla….my favorite sister duo on television for years, and you can just see that love and chemistry both on and off screen! Though I gotta admit I was disappointed at not seeing the Mills Sisters kick some a** together, they were absolutely phenomenal in that final scene and I shed a tear and choked when Regina told her “get on that bicycle and fly” because it was her way of telling her sister to go be happy for the both of them! Zelena never had that sort of encouragement, and you could see the effect it had on her when Regina said it….WickedSisters always and forever!
Mixed:
I might get disagreed with this, but you know what, screw it….I saw more chemistry with Henry & Nick in this one episode than I ever saw with Henry and Jacinda! I’m just gonna say it!
Henry Daniel Mills….you are the son of the Evil Queen, the Savior, & the grandson of the Dark One…..you mean to tell me you had no survival skills or even the slightest manipulation tactic on how to trick Nick and free yourself.
Disliked:
Still not seeing the real purpose of Dr. Facilier….

I’m totally boarding this MadArcher Ship! None of my OUAT Ships have ever worked in the past, so this is my last chance at a victory, lol! It’s amazing that Alice and Robyn’s love story outdoes the “supposedly centric” love story! In short, they were the second highlight of the night for me.
Rumple and Henry’s scene was absolutely interesting to see and really well done, especially considering I can’t remember these two shared a moment since Season 4 when Henry was working in Gold’s shop. So seeing how much faith Rumple has in his grandson and seeing the true hero potential was the highlight of the night for me.
That grandaunt and grandniece scene with Zelena and Lucy….yep, it touched me.
Mixed:
Sooooooo….why is Margot so angry with Zelena? I still don’t really get it, is it because she feels like Zelena’s wasting her time or something?
Disliked:
Yeah….I could’ve dealt without the whole flashback sequence. It just seemed unnecessary and doesn’t change my opinion on anything concerning Henry’s relationship to Jacinda.
Hmmmmm…..you know what…..Nick is a wasted character. Like there was something they could’ve done with him, I’m not sure what, but there was potential….but to reduce him to a vengeful witch hunter whose more than likely to die in the next episode…..I just feel like it’s such a waste.
