We begin at the Leaving Storybrooke sign which I'm sure has it's own agent by now. Grumpy and the dwarfs are at the edge of town where Grumpy has spray painted the borderline. He's good because he sprayed that line right where you shouldn't cross and it didn't effect him at all. Not so good for Sneezy though who draws the shortest straw. Poor Sneezy. Why is he the one they pick on? Some friends, they just push him over! If he would've died Sneezy's blood would be on their hands for the rest of their lives!
Meanwhile, the town is having problems recovering from the curse being broken, having to deal with two different selves, the aftereffects of the wraith from last episode, and an annoying Mr. Whale. He asked the most strangest question to Charming about if the nun's can date! What is it with this guy? He seems quite girl crazy. Should that be a clue to who he is? Hope he's not Jack the Ripper or Jekyll and Hyde. That would be just too creepy! Grumpy and his crew come back from the border with Sneezy who now only believes he's his cursed self. So they can't leave Storybrooke in Season 2 either or they completely forget who they are again! You gotta love magic!
Along with the troubles of the town, Charming finds out more about the hat that took Emma and Snow away from him to the Enchanted Forrest. With Henry's help he discovers that the hat belongs to Mad Hatter/Jefferson. So off to the pawn shop and a trip to Rumpy to ask for a potion that will help him find Jefferson. With an agreement to stay out of each other's way, Rumpy obliges and gives him one. This leads him straight to Jefferson who is in need of help from an overturn car. Was this an indirect way for Rumpy to help out the Mad Hatter and thank him for giving Belle back to him? Naaa, Rumpy's not that smart is he? Also, as Charming left he tells Rumpy something that seems to surprise him. He still can't leave Storybrooke or he'll lose his memory. Wow! Something Rumpy doesn't know about his own thing of bringing magic to Storybrooke! The price seems to be too high for Rumpy this time because it sure looks like he wanted so much to search for Bae but now he's stuck again. That's what you get when you mess with magic Rumpy! You should listen to Belle more than you ever do! Also, that little agreement with Charming to stay out of each other's way will surely be broken really soon! lol! Charming asks Jefferson about the hat but doesn't get much out of him before he runs off and Ruby stops Charming to let him know that Regina has Henry.
Speaking of Regina, her mommy issues come to the front of the table today and how that leads to her meeting Rumpy for the first time. We are now back in the Fairy Tale Land Past again and we see how Regina is still captive by her mother and her magic. We also see that even though Regina has a little secret loathing of Snow she hasn't acted on it and seems to consider herself still a good little woman. Doesn't stop the writers from giving us a little insight into Regina's wishes of what she would love to do to Snow. We get to see little Snow again so Bailey is back for a moment to give us a shocking scene of Regina choking her! Bet those two loved acting out that moment together! lol! Of course it's only a dream. Cora's control of her daughter with magic has finally driven Regina to ask Rumpy for help when she discovers her mother's magic book is the key to her powers. Rumpy says he remembers her as a baby. Of course he does. I'm sure Cora is the original girl who had to spin straw into gold and had to ask Rumpy for help. Regina was probably that first born child he was suppose to get before Cora found out his name. Maybe there is more to that story though in this series. Would love to find out. With how many times Rumpy was saying he's surprised she's related to Cora makes me wonder if Regina was given to Cora instead. Hmmm. Anyway, Rumpy gives her a magic mirror and with a little egging on from Rumpy Regina manages to push her mother into the mirror. The mirror breaks and now Cora is in Wonderland right? I still think she is the Queen of Hearts. Doesn't matter what happens at the end of this episode.
Back in Storybrooke, Regina goes to Rumpy and asks for her mother's book so she can have full control of her powers. Rumpy pulls the book out the air. So he has his powers back it seems of course. As she leaves Rumpy says she now resembles Cora. Not what Regina wants to hear. She uses the book and now Queenie is completely back! To show that fact we get to see all her apples grow ripe and dangerously delicious again. What does she do first? Goes after Henry of course. She shows off to the town folk and takes Henry home. Henry tries to leave but she grabs him with the tree limbs just like her mother used to do to her when she tried to leave Cora. Henry tells her he doesn't want to be her and this reminds her of herself with Cora as well. Later, she is downstairs looking at the magic book when Charming busts in with sword in hand demanding Henry. She says he won't need his sword. Henry can go with Charming because Regina doesn't want to hold Henry there with magic because that's too much like Cora and Queenie doesn't want to be Cora. She actually says she wants to be redeemed but later she is shown keeping the magic book and not burning it. So the magic has a hold on her just as much as it does Rumpy.
The whole town figures it's better just to have one person floating around in their head than two and decide to leave Storybrooke. Charming stops them just in time with a speech about how both of the people inside them all ARE them. One is their weak side and one is their good side! So Charming is admitting that David is weak! lol! He was such a dolt last season wasn't he? Finally, the town becomes a town again. The dwarfs go to mine in those tunnels from last season I guess thinking somehow they'll make fairy dust. Ooookay. Henry tells Gepetto that August is Pinnochio. So off to his apartment where it seems August is gone. The last we see of Charming and Henry they're vowing to find Snow and Emma because Queenie confessed that the Enchanted Forrest still exists. They drink their soda at the same time. How cute!
Almost as a small teaser tag along we get a little of Snow and Emma in the other world being captives of Mulan and Aurora. They try to escape once and are thrown into a pit with shock of all shocks CORA!!! Mommy's home and will she be meeting up with Regina in the future? Will she be the big bad soon? Oh the possibilities! The End...for now! :D
Next time we have sword practice, Lancelot, and ogres oh my!
