They do have Tim Horton's in the US—there's one in Penn Station (which, as an NY-er who went to school in Canada, makes me happy).

Yeah, it's strange that their concern isn't "oh, she could have died" but "she's not accepting our pseudo religious teachings!"

Well, Kira doesn't seem to take issue with it, so it must be okay.

It's possible that he always suspected that Ethan made it out of the fire, but never had any proof until now.

I think the strong-arm tactics are all about her being in control. She can't handle not being in charge. The fact that she's a control freak is not surprising, given her background.

It's never been specifically mentioned, more implied due to the nature of the monitor-clone relationships.

Also, she was with Robin in Storybrooke because she had Marian executed. It seems like her only shot to be with him without the relationship being tainted was when she saw him in the tavern.

It's probably because they're all things that are hard to find/come by, in their purest forms.
If the ingredients were just a sprig of lavender and rage, lots of people would be trying to travel through time and there would be too much chaos.

Omg, I'm dying…

I don't think Emma's hung up on New York; think she just wants to get out of Storybrooke. She'd probably be just as happy if she and Henry left and lived in the middle of nowhere.

So should Dr. Whale have yelled "It's aliiiiiiive!" when delivering the baby?

Don't forget Connie Britton and Clare Bowen on Nashville as well.

Or CSI: Unidentified Major City

In Helena's mind, "angel wings" is the street name for sugar.

Maybe that's the secret to her healing…her body metabolizes sugar in such a way that it allows rapid regeneration.

I think the fact that she smirked, and couldn't hide it, when they talked about Sarah giving Rachel a beat-down was a good (if subtle) character moment.

Kids, even 2 or 3-year-olds, can definitely tell when someone is lying to them or acting suspiciously (possibly with more accuracy than adults).
I worked with young children, and from what I observed, they just trust their intuition more, since their cognitive reasoning abilities aren't fully developed.

Maybe I'm missing something, but what would her motivation be for intentionally getting pregnant by Ryan?

But only with the club card.

Maybe it's sort of a Harry Potter/Voldemort situation. Regina set in motion the events that led to Emma becoming the savior, so they have a magical bond or something.
