So this episode was enjoyable. It wasn’t the greatest, but it wasn’t bad. Mediocre at times, but mostly good. I liked Sabine and Drew in Hyperion Heights and that they went to cooking school together, but I wished we had seen more of them in the NEF. I was kind of expecting the flashback to show them getting together, but I like that it only showed the very begining of their story in the NEF and not the entire thing like a lot of filler episodes do. I think that Facilier might have sent Naveen to the Shadow Realm (or whatever it’s called in the movie) when he saved his life after the alligator bit him. I think it would be interesting if Tiana and Naveen got together for the first time while cursed instead of in the past. Naveen is so much like his Disney counterpart and I got Killian/Liam/Crocodile vibes from Naveen saying he was hunting the alligator because it killed his brother. Also, I’m pretty sure the way he said “Allow me to introduce myself” was the almost the exact same way Killian introduced himself to Rumple probably in 2x04 (or was it another episode?)

I really like Henry’s narration at the beginning. I think it would have been really nice if it was something that happened in every episode. I also liked that him, Jacinda, and Lucy got to spend time together and that Henriella almost kissed. Of course, they couldn’t since that would mean the curse would break and Henry would die which Lucy found out about because a page fell out of the book and she interrupted them. Speaking of Henriella, why are the writers using casette tapes for Henry and Jacinda’s playlists to each other, it’s 2018 in Hyperion Heights. Or some other year who the hell knows with this timeline anymore? But it’s a year where cassette tapes aren’t really a thing anymore. I’m pretty sure Adam and Eddy are big on 80′s stuff, but Henry was born in 2001 so I don’t really get why he would use a cassette tape for his music gifting. Hilda the Blind Witch was a bit creepy, nothing like Blind Witch 1.0, but she was only in one scene and I think this is her only episode unless she shows up in flashbacks.

Regina and Faciler/Samdi was weird to say the least. I really don’t think it was the best idea to give Regina a love interest if there was a strong possibility that this would be the final season (which it now is). If anything, their relationship should have been introduced at the beginning of the season and not be jump started 11 episodes before the end. It seems that they had met before the First Curse since Regina referred to the time they new each other as when she was a different person. And that they had a relationship. I really think the show needs to have a flashback of them meeting and their relationship in the past otherwise I think it will just continue feeling awkward. Not to mention, Samdi is very shady and I don’t feel like Regina at where she is now would be interested in rekindling a relationship she had with a villain in her villainous past ( who is still a villain in present day). But their past hasn’t been shown (yet, if ever) so who knows?
