Well, they didn't complete the primary objective in Op: Firebird, so in essence this is a bust. Always figured the extraction part would be the traditional U.S. "on a ticking timer" style, but I seriously did not expect they did not bring back the ONLY ONE they came to the Underworld for! Seriously? But still, there may still be one deus ex machina left - they still have the time spell... not sure how it's gonna work, though. Colin's still on for the last three episodes, so there may still be slivers of hope that he'll return active - or he'll just exist in flashbacks. Boy! If he returns from this, shouldn't Emma and Hook be talking about getting married already? Wonder what a jamboree that'll be.

As for Hades... First off, that tale he told the Savior's group, I don't think any of them read Greek mythology tales; Orpheus never managed to leave Underworld with Eurydice - Orpheus made the mistake of glancing back at Eurydice when they were only one step from departing Underworld, and Eurydice remained deceased and Orpheus died of heartbreak soon after. Second, that true love's kiss... irrefutable proof that Hades loves Zelena. I guess that love can still be presented in weird ways farthest from my imaginations. Not sure what his plan is, but I think I can still give him a chance.

This episode haunts me. Someone give ME a time spell to jump a week forward. LOL
