Great reaction! 😊 This is one of my favorite episodes. I love seeing Regina's backstory on how she got her magic in the the flashback scenes. Loved the Storybrooke scenes. Poor Sneezy reverted to his cursed persona after crossing the town line. I honestly don't remember how long/if it is resolved. LOL! And we get more Sebastian Stan in this episode which is always a bonus. The plot line with Emma, Mary Margaret(I always go back and forth between calling her Mary Margaret and Snow), Mulan, and Princess Aurora picks up more in the next episode. From here on out are some of the best episodes. Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊

Yeah, David's speech never really worked for me (not the content, just the way he delivered it). I felt like they could've written a better speech (and direction) for that scene. Love everything else in this episode, though, especially the Regina stuff. She shows some wonderful growth letting go of Henry like that. And that ending with Cora is always great!

We Are Both- Thank you so much for another fabulous reaction, Travis! I really love this episode a lot. It's the first of my absolute favorite episodes this season! David... or more so Prince Charming, is amazing throughout! And I love how he is still as unsure of himself as he was throughout season one as simply David Nolan throughout most of this episode until the end. And even as a Prince in the Enchanted Forest, saying how Snow was the one who gave the speeches, while he did more of the fighting. Both Henry and Ruby really help him come into his true self again, which I love. Also... David does incredibly well with his "We are both" speech, which I absolutely love! It is beautiful, powerful, and I truly believe him like each of the characters do. And his relationship with Henry is absolutely adorable, as it continues to be. It is pretty clear the writers and creators know of the fans' dislike of David Nolan throughout the first season, even though I do understand why he was as he was. And I still like him as David Nolan too. However, I love Charming all the more, of course. Especially upon seeing his growth in this episode. I really love David's storyline and growth shown throughout this episode. Fantastic! :) By the way... Everyone who've I've watched reacting to Once Upon a Time always still seems confused by what to call Charming. Charming... for now is just Charming. Since his true name has yet to be spoken, while his cursed self is still David. The only time he has a different name aside from being called Charming by Snow, is when he pretended to be his twin brother James in King George's and Rumplestiltskin's ruse for the sake of George's Kingdom when he tried to trick King Midas for his gold and wealth. For a long time, everyone knew him as James, until eventually Charming told Snow the truth about who he really is when they get together again and married. I hope this makes sense. Now, as for Regina's story in both the past and present storylines... I absolutely love them too. And I love, love, love that she is trying to find redemption, all because she loves Henry so much! It's so beautiful. :) And there are so many great parallels between them with how Regina treats Henry, like Cora treated her. And I really love seeing the origin story for Regina upon her becoming Rumplestiltskin's student in magic too. Cora is a real witch and a horrible mother, but I'm so happy that Regina had come around to see the person she really was. I love that Regina finally punishes her by pushing her mother into the looking glass. Seeing her push Cora through the looking glass into a land only known to us for now that it is a land Rumple has no use of ever traveling to... is oh so, so satisfying! :) Back to my thoughts about Regina in Storybrooke... I absolutely love that Regina corrects her mistake upon hearing Henry state that he doesn't want to be just like her, which is exactly how Regina felt towards her mother too. And therefore... Regina allows Henry to go home with David. What a powerful character building moment for her! Seeing Regina apologize to Henry for hurting him for so long, and then telling him that she now wants to seek redemption... So beautiful, and this for me is one of my all time favorite moments for Regina that we've seen from her character so far. I truly do believe that Regina loves her son very deeply. Far more so than Cora ever really loved her daughter. As for Regina's scenes with Gold, as well as David's scene with him too... Very cool. I always love the two villains talking, and any confrontation with Gold. Robert Carlyle is a brilliant actor, just like so many actors in this show. And then... Upon being told by Charming that they still can't cross the town line without losing memories of who they really are all over again, Gold becomes livid and smashes two of his glass cases and everything on them. He did all he's done to get Regina to cast the curse and to get Emma to break it, all so that he could find his son out there in our world somewhere. And now... He can no longer leave Storybrooke to do so. Of course he's livid. Brilliant! And finally... I was really happy we get to see a little of Emma and Mary Margaret in the end, and now they're about to come face to face with Cora. I hate that they're being treated like prisoners by Mulan and Aurora, but I kind of understand a little too. After all... As far as they know or believe for now, Emma and Mary Margaret are possibly the ones responsible for the Wraith coming into their world and killing Phillip. But I still hate seeing them in such a predicament. And now with Cora there too. Not good. In regards to the time that's passed, and why Mulan and Aurora don't know Mary Margaret to be Snow White... First, in the previous episode... Broken, Mulan explains to Aurora that the Evil Queen's curse took most people from the Enchanted Forest aside from those who were living within the small corner of their world that remained untouched by the curse for yet an unknown reason, while they remained frozen for twenty-eight years. They didn't age just like those in Storybrooke, because they too were literally frozen in place. Also... It's most likely that Mulan and Aurora never met Snow White before the curse forever changed the Enchanted Forest. After all... Mulan is a warrior who was from China before she somehow wound up in the Enchanted Forest, and she's spoken of how she's traveled to many worlds. And Aurora... She was trapped within a sleeping curse for some time and before she was, chances are she's probably never left her castle. She's only about sixteen after all. Or she was sixteen I believe when she was placed under the sleeping curse. At least from what we know from the Disney movie. Her parents most likely kept her well protected and therefore she didn't venture much out into the world. I hope this makes sense. I'm not positive, because why they don't know Snow White isn't ever explained, but these are just theories. Oh... And I also feel so badly for Marco/Geppetto and August. So sad. I would have loved to have seen them reunite in this episode. Thankfully, August has woken up and appears to be able to move again given that he's now gone from his room. But sadly... He's still made of wood like when he was a little boy. And unfortunately, August is still ashamed of being a man now made of wood, given that him being so means he failed his father and strayed from being selfless, brave, and true like Blue warned him not to do. Is this why he's no longer in the room when Geppetto enters to find him? We'll see. And as for those who leave Storybrooke becoming their cursed selves all over again upon crossing the town line... The curse is definitely broken thanks to Emma. However, fairytales aren't real out within the outside world and therefore... These people from these fairytale worlds can't exist as their true selves in the outside world. This is why anyone who crosses the town line becomes reverted back into their cursed selves. There is a protection spell keeping magic and all fairytales within their small town to keep them all protected from the outside world, and vice versa. I hope this explanation helps. Overall... This is a really fantastic episode with many emotional moments!!! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much again, Travis! I look forward to your coming reactions. It's getting so exciting!!!! Until next time... Sincerely, Heidi
