Yay, so glad to see you back and reacting to OUaT :D
Really like this episode, so funny to see an actual car chase in OUaT, like who'd have thunk? xD I really did feel bad for Emma in the flashbacks seeing Lily pretty much ruin the chances with that family, and even though it's not technically Lily's fault, she's still one of those characters that just stirs up trouble every time and you just want to smack xD Regina is amazing in this episode, so level headed which is a huge contrast to Emma's state of mind, but such a throwback to season one where they were on opposite sides. Love their geniune friendship/sisterly bond they've developed over the seasons.
I'm really glad they brought Zelena back, even with all the trouble she brings with her, she's just such a great character with so much depth, and she's always hilarious on top of that. And yeah, the whole pregnancy twist is a bit of a mindblowing moment! You can just see the sheer horror and shock in Regina's eyes! Also I love Lily's reaction to the glamour spell, like she obviously knew about magic for a long time, but clearly had never seen it herself, so her reaction was very real I think, very WTF just happened?! xD
Looking forward to the next ones, you'll be on the edge of your seat!

First of all... Welcome back!! I've missed you, but I'm truly so happy you're doing well again. :) Thank you once again for another fun reaction! I enjoy this episode overall for the most part, and I especially enjoy the overall storyline with Emma struggling so much to keep the darkness within her at bay since she first felt it creep up within her back when she killed Cruella, just like Killian warned her about.
But to backtrack a little... I really love that we finally see confirmation of the Sorcerer at long last in the beginning of this episode, when the Apprentice calls on him through the blue flame to talk to him about Isaac's corruption and how he might be able to help Maleficent's child upon being forced by the Author to corrupt her with all of Emma's potential darkness. We knew the Sorcerer always existed given that this old man is only the Apprentice, but I really liked actually seeing a moment where these two characters communicated with one another.
Now, in regards to the power of the quill and ink in which the Authors' are all tasked with... I feel that perhaps with their magic, you can't have the power to simply record the histories of all the realms, without the power to also be able to make changes to them. It's possible that this power to change things is a test on the Authors... to help keep them on the righteous path and to show the Sorcerer and Apprentice that they continue to remain worthy of the power bestowed upon them. And as far as we know... Isaac is the only one of the Authors within the past who have come to abuse their power. I love that the Authors have such power through their quills and the special ink. Oh... and I also absolutely love that it's revealed in the end of Best Laid Plans that Walt Disney was said to once be an Author as well. This is quite a beautiful nod to all Disney movies where a number of these fairytale characters' stories are expanded upon before Once Upon a Time. :)
Next... we see Emma from a distance as she's coldly watching Isaac and Gold at Cruella's grave, while the villains continue to talk about Isaac writing all of the villains their happy endings. And from the look on Emma's face, it's clear Emma is really struggling with her decision that caused Cruella's death.
As for this episode's main storyline... I love that Maleficent comes to Emma seeking her help to find her daughter, rather than Maleficent continuing to go about finding Lily in the wrong way. I also love that Emma finally learns about how her childhood friend, Lily is Maleficent's daughter, and the girl whom her parents corrupted. It's fascinating just how much of Emma's life has been destined by fate too.
And then... Emma and Regina prepare to leave, not just to find Lily, but also so they can save Robin from Zelena too. Like you... I love that they go on this journey together, and how Regina is there to help Emma the same way Emma has always been there for Regina.
My favorite moment in this episode is when Killian says farewell to Emma before she and Regina leave Storybrooke, as he pleads with her to not allow the darkness to corrupt her heart further like Gold wants her to do. I love how he talks to her about how he started on the side of good and lost himself to the darkness, how he never had anyone to help keep him on a good path since Liam died until Emma came into his life, then asks her to remember all those she loves in order to help keep her on her own path. Sadly, Killian doesn't include himself among Emma's loved ones, because he's unsure of Emma's true feelings for him. However, I love that Emma quickly corrects him as she adds him among Henry and her parents too. I love this moment! So beautiful! I'm so happy you loved it too!!
And then... I really enjoy the overall storyline with adult Lily once Emma finds her working under a false name. I like seeing them reunite after so many years. This episode, as well as the next one aren't among my favorites within this arc, but they're still really enjoyable. I especially love that it's revealed Lily knows the truth about magic, her mother, Storybrooke, and about what Snow and Charming did to her because of the Apprentice, who came to her in hope of helping her after his role in the Author's cruelty. Unfortunately, Lily seeks revenge against Emma's parents, and in hope of finding Storybrooke so she can make them pay, she steals Emma's yellow bug with the Snow Queen's scroll to enter their town inside.
I love the moment between Emma, Lily, and Regina, as Emma struggles to resist her urge to kill Lily in order to keep her from seeking her revenge against her parents... in spite of Emma still being incredibly angry with them. I also love that Regina reminds Emma of who she is and that by hurting Lily, it will destroy her. A very powerful moment. And of course... Emma makes the right decision and puts away her gun, then allows herself to talk with Lily to help her as the Savior and not as the woman who had been wronged by Lily in their past. And I love that Emma finally invites Lily to come with them so Lily can meet her mother.
And lastly... I enjoy the end scene when Emma, Regina, and Lily finally arrive in New York to save Robin, only to discover that Zelena is pregnant with Robin's child. Honestly... I don't really like that Zelena is pregnant. While it's understandable that of course Robin has struggled to move on and be the loving husband to the woman he believed to be Marian, I just don't like that he's moved on so completely, especially since he's still in love with Regina and has sensed for awhile that something with Marian isn't right. And to me... it's just so twisted that Zelena raped him while in her disguise. It's sad and twisted.
Overall... this episode was pretty good. So thank you very much for your reaction, and I can't wait for more to come!!! I'm also so happy to hear that you will be reacting to the two part finale together like you've always done for each season finale, so thank you!!! Until next time...
