Tilly's pills erved to keep her under the curse and keeping her from remembering. Could have done without that tbh. I thought it was a nice metaphor for how we treat people with mental illnesses in our world. We make them take medication so they fit into societal rules and orders and so we can have control. Tilly was given the pills so she wouldn't wake up from a curse, so she wouldn't get out of control. I liked it personally. Take the other side: Some people need their medication for their own safety. Since Once doesn’t do nuance, it’s problematic, like Hook potentially injuring himself to get Emma’s attention in 5A or even Snow’s “Kill me” to her bully (but at least season 2 had some nuance.
