Then, they did a pretty good job. Tiana's story was character filler. But it was necessary as we can't have characters around without know real backstory. Plus, it uplifted the main storyline, which was what is intended.

It's like a filled donut. The donut is obviously more important to the structure, but the filling is what adds a little bonus to it.

Lucy is a child actor. Unless you want her to star in the episode for 43 mins (which I'm certain noone wants), leave her be. She, liken Henry of yonder, is a plot device and pretty static. She's what keeps everyone together and encourages the side stories.

The only real negative things I have are:

1. Looks like they cut down the CGI budget. No poofs, weird portals, and the same reused blood-inky thing for both Facilier and Hook. I don't mind cutting some out, but at least don't use that blood-inky thing.

2. Jace has become a serial Debbie Downer. I think it's to her detriment. She comes to everyone's plan and doubt stuff, then does it, then goes back to doubting and shaming, etc. And no, it's not the actress, but the writing this episode. Between her downer attitude and Henry's donwplaying attitude, they really are making things hard for themselves. I think Jace is rebounding due to the ending of the episode, but Henry....he has a ways to go.
