Tremaine is Rapunzel. Wow. I was not expecting the show to make a Disney Princess a villain. It was a cool twist though. I’m going to call her Trepunzel from now on. I really liked that the show incorporated the floating lanterns from Tangled and the magic tear into the show. I do wish that the casting for Tremaine Rapunzel and Younger Rapunzel was better. Meegan and Gabrielle don’t look very alike to me, the skin color is too different. Trepunzel got trapped in the tower so that her family could live comfortably and when she managed to escape, she went back to her family, but found that her husband Marcus had remarried Ella’s mom, Cecilia. Trepunzel was upset at this, of course. Marcus, who I don’t like says he still loves her, but then makes her be a servant to his new family. Drizella is very distant from her newly returned mother and thinks of Cecilia as her mom. This drives Trepunzel to give Cecilia, the poisoned heart curse, which was given to her by Gothel. I think that she should have given it to Marcus instead. Some years later after Marcus returned from his search for Cecilia, Ella and Ana fell through a frozen pond and Marcus decided to rescue Ella. This was understandably upsetting to Trepunzel who after rescuing Ana brings her to Gothel to save her. Gothel traps Ana’s last breath and her price is for Ana to be locked up. Instead, Rapunzel locks Gothel in the tower. Gothel has been searching for the Guardian and thought Trepunzel could be it, but she failed the test.

In Hyperion Heights, Weaver frees Belfrey from prison because Rogers’ didn’t have a warrant. Weaver and Belfrey know about each other, which makes sense. Belfrey recruited Weaver for help breaking into a crypt in the mausoleum. In the crypt was the book for what I’m assuming is the New Enchanted Forest book. Belfrey shows Lucy the book and after reassuring her that fairytales are real, breaks that belief by showing her Nick and Jacinda kissing via a hidden camera. Lucy cries onto the book and Belfrey uses the tear to wake Ana. Lucy goes back home, but then collapses. It seems that the price of using a tear of lost belief to wake someone causes the crier to switch places with person who was saved.

Meanwhile, Rogers snuck into the evidence room in search of dirt on Weaver and found…HIS HOOK! I thought that seeing it, might wake him up, however, he just looked at it curiously. He also went to talk to Sabine about the fire at Cluck’s who drew him a picture of the Dark One Dagger. Rogers asks Weaver what the dagger is and Weaver tells him that he is in search of Belle and Rogers says he wants to help. I am really looking forward to how this turns out.
