I liked this episode alot, and I don't agree that it is completly filler, because giving us more backstory on Arthur and Merida (two of the arcs bigger characters), and also explaining more about Mulan and Red (two of the shows recurring characters) doesn't seem like it doesn't matter at all. Anyway, Brave cast was good, Red's explaination for not being in season 4 was good, Mulan in the "present" was good. The only thing that bothered me is when Mulan was helping Merida in the past, I think it has to be after Emma and MM left in season 2, but before Mulan and Aurora saved Phillip. Right now I'm thinking Mulan and Aurora split up to try to find out what Cora was talking about, and we're going to meet up later somewhere to compare notes and save Phillip. I don't really see it fitting anywhere else in the timeline, especially if it was "two years ago". Anyway, maybe it will be explained later. And I really hope we see Red and Mulan in 5B again, because they are too good to not have on the show more. To those saying this should have aired before 508, the wouldn't do that, because they wanted the main cast at the normal time, and for you to be sucked in and watch the second hour, despite the main cast not being in. It made sense to me.
