Crazy Rumple is not a pretty sight. That said, let’s
move on to the rest of the episode.
I was a bit surprised that Emma admitted wanting to
return to her pretend life in New York City to both Neal and Charming. After a
few years of magic, curses and a host of villains you would have thought she’d
get it by now. Nothing is going to be easy for the savior and as soon as she
figures this out her life might actually be kind of fun and Henry would
probably be happier too.

Regina recognizes her chance at true love and walks
away. This was very intriguing because it makes you wonder, is she scared this
isn’t going to work and her heart will be broken or is she scared one of her
many enemies will find out and use him against her? Robin doesn’t look like the
walking away kind of guy so it should be fun watching this play out.
The journey in the Enchanted Forest to uncover the “tomb”
of the Dark One certainly peeled back a relative circus of writing
opportunities. Neal wants to find his father only because he thinks Rumple can
get him back to Henry and Emma – totally ignoring the fact that Emma pretty
much told him there was no chance with her – and appearing a bit selfish in the
pursuit. Belle, on the other hand, just wants her guy back.
Now, I’m not saying Neal’s death wasn’t tragic but
again, I go back to the writers and that mystical tally board thinking whose
death would serve the greatest purpose.
The Wicked Witch knows exactly what she is doing.
She cut Rumple deeper and faster than any blade by sinking his son into his consciousness.
Zelena also knew that by ripping him away she would shackle any thoughts of
Rumple trying to escape. He is battered and beaten.
Now, with the showdown coming between Evil and
Wicked it will be interesting to see if the Dark One’s blade turns back into
his hands.
And who else thinks Snow’s baby is going to have a
wee touch of green?
