I'm glad they included that revelation rather than just having Regina find out offscreen like they do with a lot of other stuff on this show.

And when does Belle get to change out of the ball gown?  It was getting all dirty in the forest.  Plus she was not doing such a great job with cleaning with that huge dress on.

My favorite part was the Q. Wallis stinkeye when Plaza sits back down.

I know…I guess we can't blame the show for the scheduling but they took everything people liked about the first season and tossed it out the window.

Yeah, she looks completely different on TWD thanks to the change in hairstyle.

That surprise in the promo was nice.

Jane Espenson said on twitter that Tamara definitely didn't have a regular taser (yeah, I follow her and read her responses to fan questions), so I guess she was hiding something magical in there?

Yeah, I like the show a lot too but this episode just didn't seem right.

No Rumple/Gold in the episode, so that immediately puts it at a C- level for me.  I am in the minority, but I never liked August much so I didn't mind they wrapped up his story.  The rest of the episode seemed just to be there as a transition to the rest of the season.  My favorite part of the hour was the promo with…

I would totally read that.

Ok, who is ready for the Once Upon A Time novel?

I was legitimately disappointed when Gold/Rumple disappeared for 3-4 episodes after Skin Deep last year.  Luckily that hasn't happened this year.

"Ok, in the last few episodes you have found your long-lost son, gotten stabbed by Hook, seduced Cora, and survived almost losing Dark One status.  Today you will walk down the street a few times and spend time with Charming and Mary Margaret."

Also, dumbest title card ever for the show?

I liked the flashbacks and hope we see pre-Emma Storybrooke again.  They were actually some clever lines and such with Ruby, Granny, Gepetto, etc that have been lacking in Season 2.  The vibe of this episode felt different from the rest of the season, but I liked it and wanted to keep watching.  Probably because we…

That reveal was obvious, but at least we didn't predict it months ago (ahem, Nealfire).

Neither father or son were perfect and had some terrible lines, but they had a nice rapport between them.  This may be part of the problem for Henry and his thousands of relatives.

Yeah, Gold guards Mary Margaret so Regina can't get near her.  The Charmings let Regina stroll into Belle's room, knock her out, and go through her stuff to find the number for the bogus dagger hunt.  Yet Gold OWES them.

I was half-expecting Henry to pop up with Once's favorite line, "Magic always comes with a price!" as Cora lay dying thanks to the candle.

I liked the line that went something like, "Are you being judgy about this, son of Rumpelstiltskin?"
