So I really enjoyed your reaction and review of this episode especially since it’s one of my personal favorites. The scene in the Echo Cave is one of the best in my opinion I totally agree with you about not believing Neal’s feelings for Emma. I try to give characters the benefit of the doubt. Like with Emma, I can actually believe that she always had feelings for Neal and that she was just extremely hurt by him leaving her and her having to go to jail and give birth to Henry there (even if it was for a good reason, she was a teenager and that would’ve hurt). I never did like Neal saying he would fight for her though and I never could understand why until you mentioned his relationship with Tamara in the last season. Makes it hard for me to believe he cares that much about her all of a sudden, but I guess it’s possible. As for Mary Margaret’s super optimistic outlook, I always assumed that it was her trying to make up for what she did to Cora last season. She went to the darkest place that she had ever been when she essentially murdered or at least attempted to murder Cora. After her depression, it’s like she’s trying to erase what she did by being super positive, especially trying to stand behind Emma who, besides being her daughter, represents light and the power of good. I guess it always made since you me that Mary Margaret would behave that way. Anyway, great reaction. Can’t wait for me and I hope you feel better soon!!

Mary Margaret’s optimism may be a little too much LOL, but that’s what I love about her 😊 idk why it’s so hard for me to think about and hard to listen when Mary Margaret just spills the fact that she doesn’t like the relationship she has with her daughter, Emma. And it makes sense for her to feel that way because she practically was forced to give up her daughter for a whole 28 years. And then being cursed and not even remembering that you have a daughter is just so heartbreaking. So in my eyes, it makes sense that she may want to start over and actually witness everything she wish she could’ve with Emma. Anyways, I really loved your reaction to this episode, cannot wait for more :) I’m not going to hate you for your opinions, I literally just want to know what they are 😌 and plus, they make me look at the situation from a different perspective. I look forward to the rest of the season, as it’s my favorite of the seven. Until then! :)

First and foremost... I truly hope that you feel better quickly. Please don't worry about not being one hundred percent when delivering us a new reaction for our favorite shows. I promise you, I understand and I'm sure everyone else does too. I wish you well. As for Ariel... Another great reaction like always. :) I loved meeting Ariel. Ariel so cute and sweet. I also love that she's naïve and a little ditzy like you said too. That's just the kind of girl Ariel is, as she was in The Little Mermaid. And she's a great new character as well. Plus... the actress chosen to play her... JoAnna Garcia Swisher is perfect in the role of Ariel. And yes... she is Cheyenne from the sitcom Reba like you thought. Also, The Little Mermaid is another one of my all time favorite classic Disney movies along with Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin too, so I was so excited to see they were bringing its beloved characters and storylines into Once Upon a Time. I also like Prince Eric a lot too, played by actor, Gil McKinney. He plays the character from The Little Mermaid very well in my opinion, and he was adorable with Ariel when their together at the ball. In regards to your comments about the actor playing Eric being a bit boring... Eric in the Disney movie never really was all that exciting. He was a good Prince and character that I really like a lot, but he was always kind of bland perhaps in comparison to other lead male characters. Not as handsome, funny, quick witted, smug, charming, etc... perhaps. But I felt Prince Eric was always charming and very kind, which I love. And I felt Gil McKinney played Eric here just like his Disney counterpart. But maybe that's just me and of course it's okay if you disagree with me. Now... one of my favorite scenes in this episode, was most definitely between the heroes inside Echo Cave with them all revealing their secrets that no one wishes for the others to know. And they aren't so much dark, as they are just sad, but Pan hopes the revelations would lead to friction between them, and the truths most certainly have begun to do just that, even in ways not right away revealed just yet. I absolutely love Hook's sad revelation to Emma, that it's because of her he feels he can love again since Milah, and Emma has certainly changed him for the better. I absolutely love the idea of Hook with Emma, more so than Emma with Neal. The look in Hook's eyes is so sad, especially even more so later on when we see that he overhears Neal's conversation with Emma once they're all safely out of Echo Cave, as Neal tells Emma that he doesn't plan to stop trying to win her back. Tragic. First... Hook and Emma actually meet for the first time in season two's episode, The Doctor, when he pretends to be a blacksmith in a ruse he and Cora conjure up tot try to get close to the Princesses so he can learn for Cora all he can about them and Storybrooke. However, Emma senses right away that he's lying and binds him to a tree, which is when he introduces himself as Captain Hook. In the next episode titled, Tallahassee, Hook and Emma climb the beanstalk together to face off against the giant to steal the compass and Emma leaves Hook cuffed inside the giants' castle. However, during their adventure, Hook and Emma come to know more about one another as they reveal truths about themselves. Then, Hook and Emma continue to interact off and on throughout season two even though Hook is still very much a villain. And finally in the finale for season two... And Straight on 'Til Morning, Emma is able to understand why Hook wants to leave Storybrooke as it's about to be destroyed by Regina's failsafe, as she tells Hook she understands that he would rather run away to keep everyone at a distance and be alone in order to avoid him getting hurt, which is just what she does too, giving them a common interest. And later, Hook comes back because it means a lot to him that Emma reminded him that he could become a part of something. That he no longer had to be alone like he's been for over two hundred years. So for me... I completely understand Hook's feelings for Emma being as they are and him falling in love with her. Emma's given a lot to him and has changed him from being a villain, back into a hero and friend. The good man he used to be back when his brother was still alive all those years ago, when no one else has ever been able to. It means more to Hook than he's said. And in regards to Neal's feelings for Emma and his revelation about never giving up on fighting for her, and Emma's revelation that she's always loved him... I agree with you that their feelings haven't really been all that well established, especially because of the whole Tamara fiasco and her being his fiancée. For me, I feel that Emma was really saying that a part of her will always love Neal because she did love him once and remembers being in love with him, and like it is for most people, most first love's or real loves don't ever go away. However, when they first saw one another in New York in season two's, Manhattan... Emma was angry and she had every right to be after Neal allowed her to take the fall for the stolen watches, then abandoning her. I really love Emma confession when she reveals her secret just as you do, as she's saying that she was angry he's still alive, and basically that she can't be with him ever again because he broke her heart one too many times. Poor Emma. She's really torn up with how she feels towards Neal. Yes... a part of her will always love him, but a part of her is really struggling to forgive him for abandoning her years ago despite his good intentions. She also still struggles with her parents abandoning her too, so it's understandable. As for Hook revealing right away to Emma's parents that Neal is alive and in Neverland... I love it! I was so happy he did so, because like you said... it puts him in a better light and shows that he's changed from being just the villain he was, and proves that Hook really is a man of honor, as he continues to prove that he isn't the selfish pirate that especially David and the others see him as. I'm happy Emma, Mary Margaret, and David are finally starting to come around to seeing Hook as more. I also really love Emma's, Mary Margaret's, and David's revelations too. Poor Mary Margaret and David. Like you, I love how the truth about David being poisoned by the dreamshade and how Hook really saved him came out at last. And Mary Margaret's confession about wanting another chance to have a baby because they missed out on seeing Emma growing up... so sad and so beautiful. And I love that Mary Margaret is very angry now with David for keeping this secret from her. Next... I love how Emma tells Mary Margaret in the beginning of the episode that she kissed Hook. It's not only a sweet mother/daughter moment shared between them, but I love that Emma is starting to think about Hook enough to want to share a moment she had with him with her mother. However, this moment was also more than that. It's just like you said in your comments after the episode... Emma had kissed Hook in a sudden moment so she could avoid feeling anything about Neal's death and being so scared for Henry. She kissed him because she was feeling vulnerable and grateful to him, that she fell for his flirtations in a very spur of the moment, moment. However, now that Emma fears Neal might still be alive after all, she's worried about how Neal will react if he were to learn about this kiss, that he's going to try to get back with her, and she's also worried about what she still might feel for him too. She now has conflicted emotions and feelings towards both men, especially now that she also suspects Hook has feelings for her too. I think that's really more the problem than anything else. Because Neal is still alive, she's worried about Hook's feelings towards her and worries about how he will react now that Neal is alive again too. She suspects he'll worry that Emma will choose to be with Neal over him and that he would leave, or go back to being a villain again if she's not careful with how she handles his feelings for her. I hope all of this makes sense. Sorry for rambling on so long. And as for your annoyance in regards to Mary Margaret's extra positivity this season so far... I feel that it's because she's trying so hard to overcompensate because Emma is once again calling her Mary Margaret instead of Mom, and because Emma feels like an orphan and Mary Margaret is desperately trying to show Emma she isn't any longer. She's so desperate, that she's trying a little too hard to be so hopeful, positive, and the perfect mother she thinks Emma wants and needs. Finally, In the backstory... I love how Ariel did the right thing to save Snow from Regina, and in doing so, Regina stole her voice so she couldn't tell Eric she loved him. So sad and so cruel on Regina's part. But I absolutely love this whole twist on The Little Mermaid throughout the episode with Regina stealing Ariel's voice, and pretending to be Ursula to trick Ariel. I continue to love it when our characters take on multiple roles from other fairytales that aren't their own. But like you... I also love that Ursula turned out to be real too, and in this revelation, it does show Ursula in the form of a statue. However, this isn't because Ursula is the statue, but because she reveals herself to Regina through the statue's form, as though her spirit possesses the statue. A part of this is also because the creators had yet to find an actress to play Ursula at this point in the series. So they had to bring her into the show, in a way that didn't reveal her true form that they didn't have yet. I love how Ariel and Eric, and Eric's Maritime Kingdom all believe that Ursula is nothing more than a myth, or legend and that they pray to her and worship her because she's a Goddess of the seas. And then in the end... we learn that Ursula is very much alive and was angry with Regina for pretending to be her. And lastly... I too loved Regina teaming up with Rumple, and how Ariel has come into the present day storyline. And now... Ariel is about to head to Storybrooke to get something for Rumple and Regina. I love how Regina reveals to Rumple that Belle from his mind was actually Pan's Shadow playing tricks on Rumple to mess with his head. Brilliant! As was Rumple's scene with Pan too, like they always are. Overall... Ariel is such a good episode from this season, and it is another of my favorite episodes from this Neverland arc. Ariel and Eric are adorable together. :) Thank you so much again!! The next episode is so good and I can't wait! Until next time...
