I need a rewatch but overall, I'd say that the first ep was better than the second.

About "Eloise Gardener", the flashbacks were a bit complicated overall... so, Wish!EQ sent Wish!Hook to NEF to retrieve magic? Because it wouldn't have sense if Gothel was from the Wish Realm, right? Apart from that, I'm kinda annoyed that they reused the Zelena/Robin (problematic) plot on Hook and Gothel, who seems very evil actually. I thought that Alice being Hook's daughter was just a red herring but it turns out they actually spoiled it 3 episodes ago lol. I expect to see Hook's mother at this point in a later flashback since they mentioned her for the first time. Present day story was very mystery-like, and Ivy "framing" Victoria for Eloise/Gothel's disappearence was a twist I didn't expect. I also still have to figure out what is Weaver/Rumple's goal right now.

About "Pretty in Blue", flashbacks were intriguing because of Wonderland (who looks better than the previous one, or is it the same?). I'm curious to see Alice's whole backstory to have more answers because like this it's a bit confusing, especially this curse of the broken heart (same for Ella's family history). I'm not shipping Henry and Ella that hard, but their flashbacks scenes were cute. Drizella still rocks as the villain. Jack is totally the one from Jack and the Beanstalk. Present day plot wasn't as interesting because it focused too much on this love triangle (?), even though I always like seeing Sabine/Tiana. Regina/Rumple scene was probably the best one, and can't wait for Regina and Henry's roadtrip. The ones with Drizella and Gothel (or Ivy and Eloise) were interesting as well.

Can't rate them yet as I need a rewatch XD
