Any significance? Emma in her nursery The Princess at her first ball Daddy teaching daughter to dance. Twilight Zone – Emma. OUATIW portal. You Failed me. Don’t fail the next one. A dream Snow’s pregnant. First time? It must have been during the cursed/forgotten past year. Regina – If we’re cursed, she’ll look like anyone of us. The curse always includes a loophole for the caster. Hook still thinks Neal is a Flying Monkey. I’m still betting he and Belle are at Rumpel’s estate. Physical evidence in Regina’s office left behind by Zelena. It reminds me of Fruit of the Poisonous Tree with Sydney and Emma. Nancy Drew. Regina has to lie about who she is so Henry doesn’t freak out. Rumpel spinning. Clears the mind, soothes the soul. Why is he spinning straw into gold? Somehow Zelena has the Dark One dagger. Did it reset after Rumpel stabbed Daddy? How did she find it? Is it the real one? Is Rumpel playing her? All the voices in my head, will be quiet when I’m dead. Does he mean the Dark One part? We still don’t know what happened after Rumpel killed Daddy. He did a Regina move, btw. Zelena’s father? Hands would shake from drink or worse. Shaving scene. Does Zelena have a thing for Rumpel? Keep up appearances. In a new land. A land of opportunity. Belle in the Pawn shop. Mrs. Gold – Belle. Ella got her contract from there and I believe that’s where Bae’s shawl was in also. Why did Zelena wait til she turned around to freeze her? How did Zelena know that it was in there? Halle Berry? Oh, Holly Berry. Again with the Toll Bridge. Does Hook not like Snow? Bros and Brews. Hook passed on the love of Rum. Robin Hood keeps his family safe by staying in the Queen’s Castle. Smooth move. Feeling of Dread. Fear. This cursed land seems like Neverland. Mind games. Friar Tuck. White Moss. Looks like Night Root. That part of the forest is haunted. Mid Wife meeting – Hitchcock 101. God’s Eye View, Extreme Close ups, Awesome angles. Zelena knew Johanna. Crushed up thing she stole from Gold’s shop. Night Root? Rapunzel lives in a Tower in a part of the forest that is supposed to be haunted. She lost counts of the years. Princess. Parents are King and Queen of this realm. She came for the night root. Older brother? Nightmare on Elm Street. Fear in sleep. Charming tries to rescue her. The cloaked “witch” crawls up the Tower. Snow expresses anxiety. Get all the fears out in the open – Echo Cave part Deux. Fearless Did Charming switch mugs? Another poisoning story arc. The cloaked witch returns. Henry did get his ice cream. They probably went to Sara’s Old fashioned Ice Cream. Regina hears how happy Emma was in New York. Emma should have left well enough alone? Regina nicely says Henry will have more family than you’ll know what to do with. Hook likes to use his Hook. Hook courting danger with Emma Swan. Hook sticks to his tale as Emma’s Super Power goes off. Saving you from a loveless marriage. If it can be broken. It means it still works. The wall rises again. The farmhouse – OMG! Is Rumpel the Witch? Generally scary. Sword/Cellphone She’ll kill you. Shrek face?
