So, as time has gone on, I have to come to despise the flashback of "Eloise Gardener" with a burning passion. I really hate to be overly-critical, but goodness, it has very few redeeming qualities (which would be the music, the costumes, and the set design). Thankfully the writers of this episode reedemed themselves (for me) with "A Taste of the Heights" and "The Guardian".

It felt like a total waste of Gothel's official introduction as Gothel. Should have actually focused on her than literally fake Rapunzel. She had a neat theme too.

The gnome was enormously unnecessary (pun intended).

It highkey spiraled into the, "but wasn't the wish realm only real in 610? How did Nook interact with Gothel in the NEF which wasn't made from the wish?" Granted, this could have been dealt with in season six or "A Pirate's Life", so whatever. Doesn't bother me too much anyways since I headcanon that it always existed, and that Regina's simply a murderer.

A waste of what could have been a neat macguffin! The flowers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
