Flashback especially was pretty useless. There are so many things we need more backstory and information and they waste flashbacks like this. I get it was important for Henry's backstory, but they could have done the same character development in a different, more important to the plot, context. Agree, that's actually how I feel about most of the flashbacks in 7B, except for Zelena and Robin in 711 and Alice and Robin in 714. What bugs me the most, I think, is we do not only have too many characters in general, right now we have too many villains too. Seems like they haven't learned from their 4B mistakes. Gothel, the coven and her plan are just out of the picture for whole episodes, Facilier is doing who knows what in the background anyway and now Nick takes center stage for another episode next week. I personally feel like they should've left Facilier with the Tiana backstories. He is boring and out of the three we have, I'd rather have Gothel and Nick/Hansel.

My biggest problem with this week's flashbacks were the cheesyness of Henry's plan to find a ring that has a story, like WHAT? and that I generally dislike Hook/pirate-backstories and this kind of was one, even though Henry was supposed to be the focus.
