Merlin is extremely shady so far. I think the reason he isn't going ham on everyone and taking the Darkness out of Emma right away is becuase he knows of the consequences of doing something too early. He sees pieces of the future and knows that no matter how bad something is it has to happen on it's own time.

I LOVED Gold's ending scene. He's right in saying that Emma just made a huge mistake making him a hero. He now has some confidence and drive again. He has tons of magical knowledge from being a DO and I hope we get to see more of that knowledge come out.

Curious what will happen once the Darkness gets pulled out of Emma. Will Rumple get it back or will he be a cripple from now on? Even though non-magical Rumple is interesting it's not completely him.

Once again this episode shows how brutal Merida is. She'll do anything to get her throne and siblings back. I love Amy and her portrayal. Modern day Sorybrooke she's doing all of this because she is desperate to get her heart back and find out about her siblings. She knows if Rumple doesn't pull the sword from the stone she is dead.
