Once
Given the last scene reveal, does this mean that the Evil Queen and Hook are never going to become bffs? Because the writers missed a trick there. The could spend their time lamenting about how they lost the love of their lives, compare notes on taking out their anger on children and share eye-liner tips. Hell, it could be a spin-off: super hot villainous bffs.
I'm not sure how I feel about a a whole episode without Emma, Snow or Regina. Their omissions weren't glaring and this episode and it is sandwiched between a Snow and Emma heavy episode and a Regina heavy episode. Still, it's odd having an episode without at least one member of the central trio present (I see the show as having six central characters (the three aforementioned, Charming, Rumpel and Henry), the rest secondary, but even then, of the six central, it's always been Emma, Snow and Regina that were the primary three).
Three steps forward, one step back for Belle. She did get out of Rumpel's house, make a friends and get a job, but it looks like she still hasn't gotten over the idea that she can change Rumpel. Still, it's nice that the show is addressing the many problems with that relationship.
Red continues to be awesome. I do hope they develop her and Belle's friendship.
I'm very glad it turns out that Rumpel's wife chose to run away with Captain Hook, because for a while there the alternative that appeared to have happened was a hole bundle of Not Good.
At this point, I don't have very much sympathy for Rumpel at all. I feel bad for him pre-Dark One and I could understand him getting revenge against various people that have bullied him throughout his life, but he takes it much too far.
Cora and Hook is an odd team up. I'm guessing that Hook doesn't know what Cora did to her daughter's true love. Given that it's incredibly similar to what happened to his true love, Hook and Regina do seem to be more natural allies.
Next week: I can't believe the Brothers Grimm, Lewis Carroll and Mary Shelley all forgot to mention in their books about the time when the (not yet)Evil Queen and the (not yet)Mad Hatter hung out with Dr Frankenstein. I'm so glad Once is going to set the record straight. I say that with plenty of sarcasm, but I am really looking forward to next week's episode.
