Lady of the Lake- Hello again! I really love this episode, and it's definitely another of my favorite episodes this season as well!! Just a beautiful and wholesome story it is, from start to finish. Thank you very much, Jay! :) First, in regards to the title of this episode, and it being the only teenie tiny nitpick I have with this episode... I have to admit that this episode title doesn't make much sense, given what happens throughout this episode. There is no Lady of the Lake, whom I believe is meant to be a reference to the Lady of the Lake within the Arthurian legends. In some legends of King Arthur, the Lady of the Lake is written to be Lancelot's mother. Just as she is known to be here in Once Upon a Time, as indicated by Lancelot as he makes a reference to her when he tells Snow and Charming that his mother raised him by water. So... I believe that the title comes because of this mere reference, which really doesn't make too much sense, since the Lady of the Lake is barely spoken of. However, this title could also be just a reference to the siren who used to watch over and protect Lake Nostos. David also brings up the Siren he had killed back in season one's episode... What Happened to Frederick?, who was also known as a different version of Lady of the Lake. So, the title might also refer to this reference as well. Either way... This is one time when I don't like the episode title chosen for this particular episode. Although this tiny nitpick is nothing against this beautiful episode itself. Now... I love seeing David's and Henry's interactions all throughout this episode, especially in the end when David tells Henry he understands he won't be able to find and save Snow and Emma without his help, just before he begins to teach him how to swordfight. Their grandfather/grandson relationship is so sweet. I really love how much between David and Henry we're getting so far this season. Also... I love the backstory between David, Snow, and Ruth... David's mother. Beautiful and yet so sad. I love Ruth a lot too. I cried when I watched this episode. The first time, and again now as I re-watched it with you. Her love for her son is just so beautiful and I love how she is willing to give her life to ensure that Snow could have a child. Without Ruth, Emma never would have been born and I just love to see how this comes about. My only other very minor nitpick I have with this episode, is the lack of everyone's search for water within the dried up lake. It's weak, and a little strange to me. However, seeing Ruth give up her life in order to ensure that Snow can have children when there is surely more magic in their world that would have cured her as well most certainly isn't. I truly love and appreciate the overall storyline. And as for Ruth coming back out to make sure her son is okay, in spite of Charming's plea for her to go inside... Ruth acted as any mother would have done for their child if she were to believe their child was in danger. I completely understand it. Now... Both Cora and King George are definitely snakes. They are both great villains, even though I hate them because they're so evil. I hate them as we're meant to hate them. Although, with this being said... Cora plays a villain really well and she is definitely evil. More so than even Regina is. And yet I don't like her as a character for the most part. Because her evil is of a different caliber than Regina's evil is, and she's darker and more twisted than Regina is. Especially in the way she shows her love for her own daughter. It's so sad. As a villain, she's dark, which is good for any villain, but I just don't like her overall. And King George... He's a villain I love to hate. I weirdly love him as a villain. Mostly because I really like Alan Dale as an actor, and I really love the rivalry between Charming and King George a lot. And now for Emma and Henry acting foolishly as they do throughout this episode, and in the previous episodes of this season so far... Emma especially, and Henry too, are acting on instincts that come from our world. And our world... While they now know of other worlds and magic existing, our world is the only world Emma and Henry knows. Especially Emma, who has grown up in a harsh world and has had to live on her own. So, her actions in the Enchanted Forest may seem silly to some, but she's fighting the way she's fought her whole life. The only way she knows. And while it might seem annoying to some, I really understand it too. Emma knows that she ought to listen to her mother more so long as they're stuck in the Enchanted Forest, even before their fight with Cora. However, she's lived alone for so long and has never had anyone looking out for her before, and she has always had to look out for herself. When Snow tries to get her to understand, Emma is being stubborn out of defiance and because she's still angry with her parents for giving her up. And she's trying to be strong and independent just as she's always been. For me... It's understandable, and I appreciate seeing this in Emma's character. Allowing for us to really see and feel the emotions as Emma grows as the show and this episode continues on. Also... I love seeing Jefferson reunited with his daughter at last, and having Henry there to convince him to find her. The moments with Jefferson are brief, but quite sweet as well. Sebastian Stan is phenomenal at playing these wounded characters such as Jefferson here in Once Upon a Time, and Bucky Barnes/the Winter Soldier in the Captain America/Marvel movies. He's just a phenomenal actor overall, and I absolutely love him!! His happy ending with being reunited with his daughter at last is quite beautiful. I love it!! :) As for my favorite moment throughout this episode... I absolutely love the moment between Emma and Snow when Emma breaks down upon understanding just how much her mother has sacrificed for her and why Snow had to give her up. It is such a beautiful moment in the show where their relationship begins to grow significantly. And Mary Margaret's emotional breakdown as she looks back at what she could have had with her daughter, had Regina not cast her curse... So sad and so beautiful. I also like Lancelot in this episode too. He isn't like most other actors who have played Lancelot from other shows and movies, but he's still a good character. He was a good friend to both Snow and Charming, and it is sweet that he marries them for Ruth’s sake before she died. And lastly... I also love that Lancelot understood what Ruth wanted and slipped the last of the water from Lake Nostos into Snow’s chalice so she could drink it at Ruth's request. And then how Snow finds out she’s going to have a daughter with Ruth’s necklace. Brilliant! :) Thank you again, for another great episode reaction, my dear friend! Overall... This is a beautiful episode, especially because of Emma's and Mary Margaret's progress in their relationship, and for the backstory for Snow and Charming. I absolutely love seeing them marry for Ruth's sake. So, so beautiful!! :) I can't wait for your reaction for the next three episodes!!! Episodes four, five, and six are three more of my absolute favorites from this season, and episode four is one of my all time favorites throughout the entire show too! :) Thank you, Jay!! :) Sincerely, Heidi
