I’m still not sure how I feel about this one years later. It casts such a dark shadow over everything we’ve seen from Snowing chronologically after this episode. So their motivation for always doing the right thing and being heroes was to assuage their guilt? I don’t like that...But I guess the large majority of what we’ve seen in flashbacks occurred before the events of this episode so they were still being true heroes for most of what we’ve seen of them pre-curse. But we’ve still seen them do a lot post-curse too. I’m so excited for the next episode though - one of my favorites of the whole series and I think you’ll love it!

Yay! Another fantastic reaction for a great episode! Thank you so much!!! I enjoy this episode a lot. It's not another of my favorites and to be perfectly honest... my heart hurt a little after watching this one because I felt the bitter disappointment in Snow/Mary Margaret and Charming/David, who I have loved so much since the beginning. In fact, I felt about them as I did back in season one, when David and Mary Margaret were cheating on poor Kathryn under the curse. In fact... I feel worse about them now than I did even then because at least then, they were all cursed. In this storyline... they had no such excuse. Ugh... However, first and foremost... my favorite moment throughout this entire episode, is the moment inside the Charmings' loft hen Killian comes to the Charmings to warn them about what Ursula told him of Gold's plans for Emma. I love how fearful Killian is for Emma when he tells her, her parents, and Henry that Gold plans to darken Emma's heart, then how Emma assures Killian that no one can decide her fate but her, especially not Gold or the Author. I love seeing Emma comfort Killian. It's just a beautiful and tender moment between them. I love it. :) As for the present day storyline... aside from this moment, I also like all of the scenes between each of the villains as they're still working together to find the page after Regina shows them a picture of it on her phone. I love how quickly Gold is able to sense Regina's deceptions, then eventually just gets fed up with her continuous lies and asks Maleficent to put her to sleep as well. It's not good, but I still love seeing the villains working together. I also really love another moment between Emma and Killian, as Killian shows a slight bit of jealousy over Emma's friendship with August, because a part of him worries she might have feelings for him as well, like Emma also once felt for Neal. I love how Killian calls August a "wooden man child" and how Emma assures Killian that she and August are simply good friends like she wished she had been with Lily. A very cute moment. I love that it's shown that Henry, David, and Mary Margaret are all immune to Maleficent's sleeping spell because each of them had once been trapped under a sleeping curse. Very clever idea. And I just love that Henry was smart enough to take the page and the storybook to the mansion where he could keep the page and the book safe. Unfortunately, everyone else including Emma and Killian were put to sleep. I love that Henry understood Regina's meaning behind her look she gave him once she, Ursula, and Cruella arrived at the mansion to take the page, which Henry then switched with Emma's forgery knowing that the villainesses wouldn't be clever enough to know it was a fake until Gold got his hands on it. I also like how Henry is able to discover and find the key within the desk at the mansion, upon seeing a light shine from behind the door within the page, as it shines upon the drawer with the key hidden inside. As for David' and Mary Margaret's constant lying throughout the episode, and seeing David get angry with Henry... while this part of their story is necessary in order to show the consequences from what's seen throughout the backstory, I really am disappointed in David and Mary Margaret like I mentioned above. While I like their overall storyline that shows us the terrible mistakes they made that only helped to darken Mary Margaret's heart as was shown back in season two's episode, Welcome to Storybrooke... I still hate feeling that disappointment in two of my favorite characters. Thankfully, Mary Margaret finally does see sense and tells David that they have to finally tell Emma the truth about what they've done to Maleficent and her child, all for Emma's sake. And yes... Emma is angry. Beyond angry. In fact... this is the angriest with her parents that she has ever been and you can absolutely see the anger and disappointment on her face and in her eyes. And Emma's line to her mother after this conversation, as Mary Margaret pleads with Emma not to go and that she's her mother, to which Emma darkly states, "I don't care." Ooh... not good. Could this be the beginning of a big turn in Emma? I love the moment when Killian comes to Emma afterwards to comfort her, and pulls Emma close to him to hold her. It's really beautiful, and one more reason why I love them. Why they're my absolute favorite True Love couple. :) And then... we have another revelation, as we learn that Maleficent's daughter within the real world, is Emma's old friend, Lily. I didn't see that coming at all, and I love that this episode brings back a number of nearly forgotten storylines we might not have thought to be so important at the time. Very clever. Onto the backstory... I also really enjoy the slow building revelation of how it was Snow and Charming had wronged Maleficent so terribly. It's tragic and I hate what they did to her and Lily, but I like the storyline a lot. I love that we get to know more about the Sorcerer's Apprentice and how he made it possible for Snow and Charming to ensure Emma was pure and good. Tragically, they cursed Maleficent's child with all of Emma's potential darkness, then caused for the child to be forced into another world where she can't be a threat to anyone... the Land Without Magic... our world. And I love that we also learn how both Ursula and Cruella came to be trapped in our world as well, after they both fell through the portal in trying to protect Maleficent's baby. Brilliant! I really love the scene towards the end between Snow and Charming in spite of all they've done, as Snow later shares with Charming that the unicorn mobile we've seen in past episodes hanging above Emma's crib is a reminder to them of what they've done, but also to remind them to be better and to offer hope and strength to everyone around them, as they strive to become the heroes we know and love them to be. And lastly... the very end, we finally get to meet the Author, who turns out to have been the peddler we were introduced to earlier on within the backstory, who led Snow and Charming to the Apprentice. I love that in spite of her parents plea with her to not free him just yet, that Emma does so anyways, and I love the look of shock on the Charmings' faces when they realize who he is. But most of all... I love learning through August just how much power the Author has and just how much it was he had manipulated the Charmings, as well as the Apprentice too, into harming Maleficent's child, simply because to him, it makes for a better story. I love that the Author has the power to change anyone's story through his power and the storybooks that he writes, instead of recording history like he was meant to do. And I love seeing the moment when the Apprentice traps him inside the page. Fantastic!! Overall... I really enjoy this episode. Thank you again, so much for your reaction for it, Jay! I can't wait for more like always!! Until your next reaction...

The fact that Maleficent's baby turns out to be Lily is such a great idea, because it just shows that in some way Emma has always been close to magic in some sense, and certainly nothing is random. You'll for sure love the next episode, and I personally cannot wait to see your reaction to it, I promise you it will be so good!
