Snow is a complex girl woman! She can have two different motivations! I like the idea that she genuinely was at peace with what was going to happen and offering forgiveness for real...but also wanted to do that to screw with the Evil Queen, to try and cheat her of her victory. There's a quote I'm gonna paraphrase badly about how 'if you don't play, you can't lose'. Snow just sitting there prettily composing a note is NOT how the Queen would want her to go.

I highly doubt her just being like, "well, I played my hand. You win."

IKR? I find the idea that her note was 100% about her sincere forgiveness to trivialize her character. We've seen before that she has different aspects to her personality, she's not just the nicey-nice sweet demure princess.

I think during the whole episode he was drunk/physically ill/losing his damn mind/getting his old memories back so his behavior was written off

The memories and whatnot would excuse his behavior, except that his throwing the dart at Emma and kissing her happened before the spell started wearing off and he began acting erratically. And was he drunk? That makes him throwing a sharp object in her direction even worse, then! >:[

I can't really blame support him there

Wait, lol, you can't blame him or you can't support him? Mutually exclusive, no?

while he was attracted to Regina, Emma was revealing all these crimes Regina was committing

What crimes? O.o You mean the kiss which broke down the spell and revealed her existence as the Evil Queen? But what that has to do with him being dirty and gross... *confuzzled* You lost me, sorry!

I meant I couldn't support him. Crimes I meant were Regina planting Henry's files on Emma just because she didn't like her. Also Emma probably made him feel bad about the affair when she caught him last week.

Ohhh, lol. I'm thinking about all her killing, and stuff like the files just...yeah, seems so insignificant in comparison.

Y'know, while I'm on Emma's side, her outrage over his relationship with Regina from the last ep and this kind of bugged me. I mean, it seemed like either the writers were trying to make it obvious 'SHE LIKES GRAHAM, THAT'S WHY SHE'S UPSET, SHE'S JEALOUS' or 'REGINA IS A HORRIBLE PERSON THAT DOESN'T DESERVE TO HAVE SEX' and like...come on, what's wrong with that? Emma flipping out was so OTT.

I don't think Graham really had a problem with Regina being a puppet-master. (I mean, their convo about how she got him elected Sheriff- it sounds to me like he was willing to get dirty as well, that wasn't so honest and noble of him there) He aided and abetted her schemes before, it's just when Emma is involved, THEN he has second thoughts. I don't think he regrets any of it for its own sake, but when Emma's around to be judgmental, that's when he starts being emo.

Rather annoys me- I wish guys could regret actions and do the right thing BECAUSE it's the right thing, not for the Love of a Good Woman. It's always about a woman. smh at JKR with Snape/Lily, ugh
