Once Upon a Time: Child of the Moon Review!

     Its time once again for Ruby Red to shine on Once Upon a Time. We have an annoying step-father coming back to annoy their step-son, making a vicious animal into a little dog that will come at their beck and call (well, at least the good side has one thing up their sleeve), dream walkie-talkies, Rumpy's soft spot for children, and a possible foretelling of things to come! We have a few things to talk about so lets begin.

STORYBROOKE
     Tow truck man from previous episodes now has an actual fairy tale counterpart. Of course he does. Everyone in this town has one. Why though did they have to pick on Gus-Gus?! He was the most popular, cutest mouse from Cinderella and here he is resorted to the disposable character. Gus wants to date Ruby. A wolf with a mouse. Sounds more like a wolf dinner to me. Belle saves Ruby by helping to turn him down. These girls are too much alike in the looks department. With their dark hair they look like sisters. Yes Ruby, you should chill out with Belle in her creepy library that has a steam punk elevator leading to a dungeon basement which leads to the mines. Maybe the wolf would have been safe there during all this drama. Couldn't say as much for the dwarfs though. Werewolf dwarfs! That could be interesting!

      Ruby's first time of the month since the curse was broken is coming (you know what I mean) and she's afraid she'll turn into the wolf and kill someone. So Granny locks her in their freezer...I think that's the freezer. Granny's Diner Today's Special : Pop-cycle Wolf! Ruby seems to have other plans than being Granny's appetizer though. It appears she turned into the wolf and broke out overnight! Werewolf loose in Storybrooke! No, we won't be seeing a horrific scene like in An American Werewolf in London. Darn it! Just a dead Gus-Gus who's been cut in half with his legs tossed in a dumpster. Poor actress who plays Ruby has to complain and cry again thinking she's the one who did it. Don't know why but her crying gets on my nerves. Sorry it just does. Ruby wants to turn herself in and King George wants her dead!

     Speaking of King George he's vowing now to shame Charming and disgrace him in the eyes of the town. This Ruby thing seems like the best opportunity. When he gathers a mob of townsfolk outside the police station he gets quite a shock that Ruby has been moved! Take that Georgie Porgie! Charming has brought her back to Belle's library for safe keeping until Georgie's crap is over. Doesn't take long for Ruby to believe she should sacrifice herself as punishment for killing Gus though. She chains Belle up and leaves the library to face her fate. By the time Charming hears, the crowd has cornered her in her wolf form near some dumpsters. Charming has her cloak and sweet talks the wolf telling Ruby she can control her actions. Of course Charming isn't torn to shreds because the writers don't want that. We now have a wild puppy dog we can call on anytime we want just like in Fairy tale land again, and Ruby can run wild and free in the forest! Good doggie! Go for your walk! I still want some story between Ruby and Rumples! Can you see Rumples being attacked by Ruby?! That's just what we all need. A werewolf Dark One!

      Speaking of Rumples, Henry is continuing to have bad dreams of the burning, red room and this time he wakes up with a burn on his hand just in time for Regina (who's babysitting) to see it and panick. She calls Rumples who comes over with his bag of tricks and gives Henry a vial on a chain for him to wear. I love how the conversation between these three transpires. Rumples turns all his vicious remarks onto Regina. Blaming her for all of this mess in the first place. He's quite sweet to Henry. Dare I say Henry reminds him of Bae? He also says Henry will not have a price to pay when Queenie objects to his gift. He claims it's "on him." What does that mean? Will he take any problems that come with this magic or will Henry have to pay whether Rumpy wants him too or not. Judging from next times scenes oh yeah Henry gonna pay! Another thing. Rumpy says Henry can control this netherworld with the necklace and to control what you fear causes you to not fear it anymore. Will Henry end up controlling Rumples one day or someone else with the dagger? Will Rumples have to be stabbed to truly end it all? Remember if the dagger is used whoever uses it will become the next Dark One. Imagine what troubles could come with a Dark One Henry!

     Now with the reveal that Georgie killed Gus and burned Jefferson's hat there has to be another way to help Emma and Snow. The dwarfs found diamonds for fairy dust but without the hat how will they ever get the girls back? Well, it looks like Henry has sort of answered that question. With his Rumpyfied necklace he can control the flames in his dream and communicate with the mysterious girl with him. She turns out to be Aurora who quickly wakes up and lets Emma and Snow know she's just talked to Henry! So last year Emma and Henry had walkie talkies and this year its dream walkie talkies. Is that the only way to contact fairy tale world? We'll have to wait and see.

FAIRY TALE PAST

     Snow is still on the run and at the moment she's with Ruby. Ruby's cloak gets a hole in it so she tells Snow to leave for a while. She's afraid she'll turn into the wolf and kill Snow. While she's gone Ruby runs into a Taylor Lautner wannabe and meets a pact of wolves in a sunken castle. We've just turned into Twilight! YUCK!!! Okay, bad taste in my mouth. Edward tastes like chicken. Okay, sorry. This Harry Potter fan is not a fan of Twilight. Moving on. Ruby meets the lead wolf which turns out to be another Mommy Dearest! How many Mommy Dearests do we need on this show?! She does do one good thing for Ruby. She teaches her how to control the wolf and remember what she does while being the wolf. Snow comes in later to ruin everything. Regina's guards kill Taylor wannabe and Mommie Dearest Wolf blames Snow. Snow you are such a trouble maker. Ruby has to make a choice to save Snow or let her mom kill her. Wow, hard choice. Ruby saves Snow because she doesn't want to be a killer even though she kills her mom by saving Snow. Ruby believes Snow to be her family.

    Next time scenes has some interesting moments. One in particular has Cora with what seems to be her own heart glowing. Gave me the idea of what if Cora has had someone else's heart ever since Regina was a little girl. What if someone crushed her heart and it was replaced with someone else's just like what happened with Daniel. Maybe or maybe not. Cora's story needs to be told one day. I know that for sure. Will we sympathize with her or not will be the question afterwards. FINALLY, Henry will have a chance to be a hero! Go Henry! BOOOO! Have to wait two weeks to see how it all turns out!
