Awesome episode! Much better than last week! But then, I love anything with plenty of Killian in.

Was very satisfied to see the EQ as she should be: poofing around manipulating people. I was glad she got some more screentime with Henry. Also happy with the ending, that she's still after Snow's heart - she wouldn't be the Evil Queen without that particular bloodlust and it's about time it was brought up. I also still love the interaction between Regina and EQ.

I wondered for a moment if Hook's brother would somehow turn out to be Aladdin. It would certainly explain his Saviour status, as Liam 2.0 was the product of twu luv. I still enjoyed the real Liam's story and tbh I'm hoping for his brother relationship with Hook to develop, and be written better than the awful episode that was The Brothers Jones.

Henry managed to not annoy me so much this episode, thank God. Except when he said Killian wasn't part of his family. Bit of a dick move Henry, and obviously not how you really feel since you just went to the Underworld for him and everything. But you're right, he doesn't want your mother to die so he must be a bastard.

Please please PLEASE give Zelena more to say/do. At this rate she's gonna be just like Robin from last season and we all know how that ended for him. Similarly we're not getting much of Rumple, but I'm guessing we'll be getting plenty of him next week. It should be interesting now to see him work with the EQ against Snow White, since last time that happened he was secrelty rooting for the Charmings.

I'm very satisfied with the overall feel of this season so far, in that they've got stuff to do yet at the same time they're living their lives. Belle going for an ultrasound, Hook making Henry breakfast. It's satisfying to see them live normal lives for a bit, but I hope that'll end later when shit hits the fan and the action can resume.

Still not much Snow and Charming, excellent. All in all a good episode, love love loved it!
