3X12 New York City Serenade – Main Show – Mickey, Star Wars, Emma Walsh’s savior? Wrong Way Emma, Right Hand Monkey, Rumpel behind the curtain?

Views from the Deck – Star Wars shoutout – the address 1138 was on the building to the left of the Ostria restaurant (with the wind blowing through the trees) Also there was a shot of a reflection of a cab right side mirror. Is Zelena using mirrors, like Regina to spy on Emma? Like the WW used her Crystal Ball to spy on Dorothy? There is another mirror image shot in Emma’s New York Apartment. Is this alluding to Zelena watching her, or is it that Emma is Emma Swan and Dorothy (or another character, perhaps?) Level 23 was a shoutout to the D23 Disney Expo. Eddy confirmed in an interview in the – wait for it – D23 magazine article. “I hope it’s not a big spoiler alert to say Henry is playing a video game on which he is thrilled to reach level 23. Coincidence?  Eddy: Not at all. It is absolutely a shout-out to our faithful at D23.” Note: There will probably be lots of spoilers on the link to the article, just sayin’ https://d23.com/once-upon-a-time-wicked-witch-abc/?int_cmp=d23_abc_ouatwickedwitch_201403 • Walsh was a lot like Tamara, in the sense that one of the goals was to interrupt the path to Destiny using love and/or romance. Tamara and Walsh were sent by an evil person (Peter Pan and Zelena). I hope Zelena didn’t send a sand-filled Walkie Talkie with Walsh. Walkie Talkies were introduced way back in Season 1, as well (Henry and Emma used them). • Team Seven. Will one of them have a connection to Zelena or Oz? • Bae and Belle. How will they rescue Rumpel (If we take the clue of the Promo poster that he is in Oz)? What if he is the Wizard of Oz? • What did Phillip and Aurora do to have dealings with Zelena? • Will Emma be Walsh’s savior? • Eric Hansen on Twitter Tweeted out that he was calling Walsh as Aurora and Phillips’s son, we would assume cursed as a Flying Monkey by Zelena. • Rumpel mentioned “slippers” before (if I remember right) in reference to portals. Whether they are ruby colored or not, they could help Emma (Dorothy?) get home. Brad’s email – Hi Jeff and Colleen, here are the things I learned in the episode New York City Serenade.  #1. Emma hordes food in her fridge. #2. Robin Hood smells like forest. #3. Hook is not a lover of baloney. #4. Even a monkey can run a           furniture shop #5. Nobody eats Regina’s porridge. I also have some observations and burning questions I’d like to share as well.  OBSERVATIONS  Walsh has a scar right where Robin shot him in the Enchanted Forest as a flying monkey. This one you already caught but I still thought it was awesome! Ruby in the group that appeared at the beginning. The Wicked Witch has an Emerald necklace. Aurora likes Mickey Mouse. BURNING  QUESTIONS * Could Rumpelstiltskin possibly be      in Oz?  * What does the Wicked Witch want       revenge on Regina for? * Could Walsh have actual feelings     for Emma that will surface later?  * How did Hook escape the Enchanted    Forest before they were cursed    again? —————————————– Social Media Squawks – ktodd1116 Tweeted that – Mrs. Cuse was Henry’s Babysitter. A shoutout to Carlton Cuse from Lost and Bates Motel, too. Ruby wore Red, too. She wasn’t bad – all the time. We saw a knight that looked similar to Sir Lancelot in Henry’s video game, too. Alldaytammy from Twitter and Manny posted on our blog that Walsh referred to Pat Walshe. Omshantiomguy (Our friend Eric o) on Twitter had a great theory that Walsh was Aurora and Phillip’s son.
