Loved this episode, especially the scenes with Regina and how much she actually evolves within this single episode. Also crazy to see that she in effect made herself barren, which makes the her story with Henry and her love for him so much more powerful, because she never ever expected to have a child, adopted or otherwise. I still want to smack the smirk off the Author's face, he is so obnoxious - but that just shows that he's a great actor and fits the role amazingly well. Can't wait for you to see how the finale turns out, I guarantee you it won't be what you imagine, in more ways than one. Hope to see it before long ^_^ ^_^

2020-02-14 16:37:49 +0000 UTCThank you for another great reaction! Once again... this episode is really good and I really enjoy it overall. My favorite moments once again come within the minor storylines throughout this episodes. Mainly between Killian and Emma of course. I absolutely love the moment between Killian and Emma down in the harbor as they're looking out over the ocean, while Killian lovingly encourages her to forgive her parents once more. This moment between them is absolutely beautiful And I just love how loving Killian is towards Emma, as he fights to remind Emma just how much she needs her parents, and how much she needs to forgive them... not only for their sake, but for Emma's sake too. I love Killian's lines... "They were trying to protect you, Swan. Twice. Before you were born, they wanted to make you happy. And when they found you again, they wanted to make you proud. Do you want both those to be failures?", after Emma lovingly says to him... "I'd like them more if... I'd known they turned themselves around. I like when people find their good hearts along the way." Just so beautiful. Killian and Emma are so good for one another and I just absolutely love them! And finally!!! Emma finally comes to forgive her parents thanks to Killian's words, and upon seeing her mother hurt after trying to help Maleficent and Lily. I love this moment between Emma and Mary Margaret as Emma shares with her parents why she is doing so. And I love, love, love seeing David look up at Killian with a smile on his face and as he nods at him to show Killian that he knows Killian had everything to do with Emma being able to forgive them at last, and to express his gratitude. Perfect! As for Cora's reappearance within her overall storyline with coming to Regina on the anniversary of Daniel's death and then using the Sheriff of Nottingham to try to trick her daughter about him being the man with the lion tattoo... I really couldn't care less for this whole storyline. As I've said a number of times... I really don't like Cora at all, and I don't like the Sheriff of Nottingham at all either. And this storyline is just weak in comparison to the rest of the episode. I understand it, given that this episode is about the relationship between daughters and their mothers. I just really don't care about it. However, the best part of this storyline is when Regina cursed herself so she won't ever have any children of her own, just to spite her mother. Again... it's twisted and sad too. But It does help to explain why she adopts Henry too. Next... I enjoy the scene between Regina and Lily, as Regina encourages Lily to get angry so she can use her blood for the ink for the Author's quill. It's not good and I'm mad with Regina for using Lily in such a way because it comes from the evil side in her, but the scene itself is really good, and I also love that from such action... it brings about Lily transforming into a dragon just like her mother. Brilliant! Also... I really love the moment when Maleficent comes to David and Mary Margaret, seeking their help to convince Lily to stay in town. I love that Maleficent doesn't go back to being evil to try to force her daughter, like Cora had done many times to Regina. It shows that Maleficent has really grown since she's been resurrected. And her longing to be reunited with her daughter and to be the mother to her she never could be before, is so beautiful. I love the mother/daughter moments between Maleficent and Lily too. They're really quite beautiful, and their relationship is definitely one I would love to see more of as they continue to grow now that they're together at last. And lastly... I really like the scenes between Regina, Zelena, Isaac, and Robin, as they're all talking to Zelena within her cell while Regina considers using the Author to erase Zelena from existence. Not good, but I really enjoy the banter back and forth between the sisters, while the Author remains quiet in the corner in wait. Thankfully, Regina comes to do the right thing upon realizing that her plan to erase Zelena from existence made her just like her mother. And I absolutely love how Regina tells Robin and Zelena that Robin is a part of her happy ending, which is truly finding the peace that she has come to fit into the world where she lives with people she loves and who loves her in return. Beautiful. Unfortunately... the Author has other plans and he uses his power to escape from the heroes and to return to Gold, who is dying back in his shop. And now... Isaac is about to begin his own storybook titled, Heroes and Villains within a new storybook that Gold conjures for him. Not good, but so exciting!! And I love it!!! Thank you so much again for another great reaction!! And now... we're on to the two part season four finale titled, Operation Mongoose Parts One and Two! I love these next episodes and I can't wait for your reactions for them both!! Until then...
