I loved CS at the start of the episode, with him being supportive of her seeing Archie and impressed by it.

Captain Beauty was just too adorable! Plus, Killian owning up to his wrongdoing and wanting to help her. I also really like the 'this lady' bit. I hope we see more of these two.

Not enough Emma imo.

I dislike the fact that Emma feels like she has to be helpingn people and giving them back their Happy Endings even though she owes them nothing. I know that's just who she is, just selfless little Emma Swan doing her thing but I don't like her feeling like that's all she is and that she isn't entitled to her own happiness because she has to go help random strangers. I'd love for this to be expanded on.

Also, yay David storyline! It's about time he's gotten to be relevant. But-boo someone in the main cast (my money's on Killian) probably killed his dad.

I'm not looking forward to the EQ revealing all the 'bad things' everyone else has done to make them tear themselves apart, because to me it translates to "Watch us retcon all your faves so they all did bad things to make Regina look good!" May be my inner pessimist though.

OHMYGOD Rumple getting up close and personal with Regina in the EF and the EQ getting up close and personal with Rumple in SB just made me very, verrrrry uncomfortable.

And I dislike the 'the Count won't let this girl he met two seconds ago die because she looks like hsi ex' bit, mainly because I hate the "you remind me of my ex so I feel something for you" trope.

So the Count is the third assassin Regina's hired who hasn't done what she wanted her to. Haha.

My problem with the constant Snowing vs Regina flashbacks is that it makes Regina look dumb and therefore deminishes Snow and Charming's ability to outsmart her. She failed here because of a fluke, not because Snow actually defeated her.

So I wonder if we can put Regina as the anti-Saviour since she said she'd save the Count and ended up killing him,......

(this next part will be a bit ranty)

Operation Cobra part 2? Really? That is an Swan Believer thing, writers! This isn't a parallel it's stealing. I feel like they're trying to make Regina into an Emma 2.0- Operation Cobra part 2, getting to do the sword throw. Sigh. This whole thing is a redo of season 1 with Regina as the Saviour and I don't like it. Also didn't we already have Regina struggle to be the Saviour in s5? And in s3? And struggle for her happiness in s4? This is so repetetive.

Also the Operations were cute when Henry was 10 but I think after Operation Mixtape it just got boring.

I didn't really like it. It just felt like a filler episode to me.
