Once Upon a Time: And Straight On 'Till Morning Review Part 2:

It looks like a possibly broken nosed Hook is changing sides again. What else is new? Regina makes a sweet, little speech to Henry about loving him while Emma makes a funny face at her. Regina promises Henry she won't let him be alone. Unbeknownst to anyone at the moment this was a goodbye. *tear*

Back in Neverland, Hook wants to keep the Dark One's kid on board. He could come in handy sometime. Oh, will he now? We are introduced to The Lost Ones. A rag tag group of young men who I assume are this Neverland's version of the Lost Boys. Cute little children dressed in cute little animal costumes they are not. Quite dark and sorta good looking they are. Well, the leader anyway. Leader boy asks Hook if he's seen Bae. Hook wants to keep the boy of course but lets the group search the ship. Who is the masked Lost One? Could that be Peter Pan or someone else we already know? Guess we won't find this out until next season. They find nothing and Leader boy threatens Hook that his master will rip his shadow. I don't know if I'm suppose to laugh or be frightened. Sounds a little like both to me. Of course, Hook had hidden Bae.

In Storybrooke, Gold thinks he's being looted by the dwarfs. Grumpy lets Gold know that Blue Fairy figured out an antidote to the memory loss curse and the dwarfs are wanting to bring Sneezy's memory back. Gold is quite surprised that this certain plot point was solved so quickly. Good going Gold, voicing our opinions on this crazy time passer. Ugh. What was the point of Lacey anyway? Gold doesn't understand why they want to wake their friend up just for him to find out he's going to die. Grumpy asked the fairy to make another dose for Gold to turn Lacey back to Belle. He's not quite sure he wants to do that for the same reason above. Great little speech there Grumpy:"Don't let her die as Lacey." Oh please, don't let that happen. Go Grumpy, who's still more like Dreamy isn't he?

  

Meanwhile back on Hook's ship in Neverland, Bae is growing his sea legs. Bae gets a chance at ship driver's ed with instructor Hook by his side. Hmmm. A teen driving Hook's ship. Watch out, Bae! Oh, well. Guess we won't have The Little Mermaid next year. 

 We are subject to some Hook back story about how his father abandoned him too. Awww. Lost Boys unite! Bae actually tells Hook his father is The Dark One because of Hook telling his story. Oh, come on Bae! I love ya but sometimes you are too trusting! Why in the world would Bae trust Hook enough to tell him about the only thing that could kill his father?! Boy, he is your father! This guy has a hook on his hand and is a pirate. Are you tripping?! Just enough info for Hook to emo more! Grand!

Back in Storybrooke, Hook and Charming find the Bores. Hook fights Greg and grabs a magic bean from him. Charming runs after Tomorrow. The Bores run away but Hook has a bean which he seems to place in his pouch.

Emma and Regina are in the diamond mine at the trigger diamond. Once the diamond stops glowing the real destruction will begin. Basically, Regina says slowing down the diamond will probably kill her. Emma now knows the speech she said earlier to Henry was goodbye. Regina wants to go out as herself not as The Evil Queen. THIS was one of the best moments of the night! Did you really think this show was going to let go of the best character (besides Gold) they got? Great acting though and one of the sole reasons I continue to watch! Regina is the man! Just before she begins whatever she doing to slow it down, Emma was going to say something else! Will we ever hear what it was? I hope so!

Gold seems to want to change Lacey back to Belle when Lacey tries to use Bae's shawl to wipe up some spilled booze. Oookay. He fixes broken Chip with magic. Well, if it was that easy we all wouldn't have been so distraught about it earlier. lol! Lacey drinks and now she's Belle. How easy? Next year their story line better be better! She's woken up to have another emo moment. Let's share the pain all around!

Henry shines when Emma tells him Regina is going to sacrifice herself so the others can hop a ride on that magic bean! He starts to sound like a Lilo and Stitch movie! "We don't leave family behind!" Go Henry! Snow comes up with the bright idea to throw the diamond into the bean portal. Did we not learn anything about that wraith?! Sucking the wraith down the hole made Fairy Tale land not so happy. Remember Philip, people! So glad it did NOT end like that! Snow makes a speech to her daughter how she should have chosen the harder path when dealing with Cora. I do agree with her on this point. Maybe she wouldn't have a blackening heart if she went that way. "...cause if we don't we'll be building a future on Regina's blood." Great line! Hook tries to skip out on the deal and take the bean with him. Emma tries to convince him to stay and tells him Henry is Bae's son. MORE Emo Hook!

In Neverland, Bae finds out about Hook and Milah. He thinks Hook killed his mother but learns instead that he was her lover. Bae seems more upset that Hook betrayed him than about the fact his father killed his mother. Hmmm. I thought adult Bae didn't know that but here we have him learning it from Hook when he was a kid. Okay, poor confused Bae who wants to just get away from Hook. Even the Lost Ones look better to him now. Great acting boy!

 

The Charmings go back to Regina and Henry says Regina is a hero because she's willing to die to save them. Aww. Will this be changing Regina for good? I wish! Only problem though is Hook still has the bean. Why doesn't that surprise me? Hook is on his ship with the pretty bean. Hmm. I wonder what would happen if you ate a magical bean? Could make magic bean casserole with a few of them. They might taste good for a moment...until a magic portal forms inside your stomach. Talk about a universal meal! I'm so sorry.

Hook gives a disappointed Bae to The Lost Ones. What's your problem Bae? You said you wanted to go to them earlier? Emo Hook again.

Another sweet moment between Henry and Regina. She doesn't think she can hold it off any longer. Also, Emma calls Snow and Charming mom and dad. Was that the first time? Emma teams up with Regina and gives her good magic a try! This does the trick! Yay! Gold walks out of his shop like,"Oh so we're not going to die. Okay." You slacker! Storybrooke is saved...but where is Henry?! Yep, the Bores have him! So now Henry is important again but for what reason? Of course the group don't get there in time before Henry, Greg, and Tomorrow jump into the bean portal! Well, kid your wish came true! You going to another world! Hope you enjoy yourself! Rumps has to stick his nose in the biz now that it involve Henry. No bean portal, now way of getting to Henry. Rumps seems slightly happy about the situation. Grrr. Hook returns to help! Horray! Show can't end without more Emo Hook! He wants to change motives. They now have a magic bean and a pirate ship! Everyone ready to go! Hook and Gold together on board. This should be interesting. For some weird reason Gold wants Belle to stay behind. Maybe because now that he thinks Bae is dead and Belle staying in Storybrooke he can go after Henry! Don't you dare do that! Also, is it just me or is Rumbelle becoming a little annoying at the moment? As much as I hate to say this maybe a little break from the two would be best.

Well, well, we find out Bae lands right back in fairy tale land where and conveniently right where Philip, Aurora, and Mulan are at. See, he won't die, Emma! lol!

The gang find out Henry was taken to Neverland and at Neverland Bae has just landed on shore with The Lost Ones. Bae is not the one this mysterious Shadow/PeterMan wants. It's actually his son, Henry?!!! What is that all about? Will Henry be meeting a child Bae? Will Rumps meet up with his little son again? What will it be like to see Emma with child Bae? The funniest thing might be not one but TWO Emo Hooks! Imagine two Hooks fighting each other! Better yet, Hook told Gold he's given up on killing him but Neverland Hook is still after him. That's going to cause some huge misunderstandings! Biggest question of all. Why does Peter Pan want Henry?! Maybe all this questions will be answered next season! Also, we have a spin-off coming to our screens! Once Upon a Time in Wonderland! Hope this means we'll have more Jefferson! Goodnight Storybrooke, for now.
