Once Upon a Time's second to last episode of the season gave us lots of answers but raised more questions while giving those answers. My opinion now looking back on it was that it had is ups and downs but mostly it was a good episode. We start with a little confusion. Regina and Henry (isn't he running away with Emma?) sitting at their long dining room table having supper. I like how Henry is shown here to wait until Regina eats her slice of meat before he does. Shows a little insight in how most suppers at the Mills home goes down. Poor Henry always in the mindset of don't eat anything before she does. Smart but a little sad too. There's a knock at the door and it's Emma who wants to talk and suddenly the whole town's behind her. Ah, someone's dreaming.. Emma takes Regina and ties her to an apple tree while the rest of the town seems to be about to burst into the song Kill the Beast!" Even Archie is there helping to tie her up. The mob really wasn't that frightening to me. Only one that seemed scary was Emma and that was just a little. I liked it though. A great way to start the show and to see how much Regina is starting to worry. Emma crushes a black, oily apple in front of Regina and says, "Rotten to the core." That was cool. Regina tries to reach out to Henry and of course he's like burn the witch! Naa, he just says she deserves this. Yeah, the one who's raised you, changed you diapers, and everything deserves this. Emma's like here give me Excalibur and off with her head! Regina wakes up as Emma swings the sword at her. Phew just as dream Regina. She needs serious help. Poor little Regina who "just wants to win, for once." That's all evil wants to do is win for once. Oh, why can't we give that to them? Cause you're crazy that's why!
Now we're back where we left off from last episode. Emma and Henry are driving out of Storybrooke. Henry is real slow to the uptake. "We're leaving NOW?!" Yeah, Henry. She kidnaps you from your home in the middle of night and starts heading out of town. No, we're not going now. We're picking up some ice cream at the closed for the night Granny"s Diner. We're going to drive around Storybrook's empty Main Street and pretend we're in Doc Brown's Delorean. Floor it Emma! Yes, Henry you're leaving now! After that sinks in Henry does the brave thing of taking the wheel of the car and they run off the road just at the leaving Storybrooke sign. The Leaving Storybrooke sign should have its own agent now with how many times it's been shown on the series this season. Emma gets a healthy scolding from her son that she's the savior and her family needs you. Blah, Blah, same old. The best part though is when they do return Emma receives another scolding from her mother, Mary Margaret! Yeah, you tell her Mary! Did anyone get a feeling of a little bit of Snow coming out during that scene? Emma needs her mother's advice more than I think she knows. Someone needs to get through that thick skull of hers.
Meanwhile, over at Mr. Gold's pawn shop Regina is acting like a spoiled brat. "Why can't I get rid of Emma without getting rid of the curse?" Gold is like,"That's your problem. I'm skipping town." So Regina and Gold can leave Storybrooke. Understandable because how else could Gold have found Henry? Why hasn't he started looking for Bae yet? Hmmm. Gold reveals that the curse will be broken if Emma dies. Hmmm. I read another fan's review that asked if this could be a foreshadowing of the season finale. Will they pull a Harry Potter on us? Will Emma sacrifice her life to save everyone else? I hope not. Gold is taking a trip. Where is is going? Is he trying to find Bae? Will Bae turn out to be Henry's father? Does Gold know what's going to happen to Henry? Maybe Henry needs both his parents in Storybrooke? Anyway, Regina wants to find a way that will stop Emma without breaking the curse. Gold's like "I'd just leave like me girl because you don't want to be here when the town starts to remember." TO BE CONTINUED
