There were a couple of aspects I didn't like, but overall I really liked the episode and I'm just hopeful that some of the unanswered questions will be answered in future.

I suppose the question of what happens to Liam Jones 2.0 may be answered sometime in future - perhaps he may even turn up when the time is right. I sincerely hope the writers aren't that stupid that they'd just cast him aside once Hook has heard his name and decided to kill his father, especially since Hook would SURELY want to make sure his half-brother is safe.

I was so glad Hook died a good man again. I mean I'm still disappointed that he gave into the Darkness so easily, but whatever.

But WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K GOLD!!! He was a hero, an actual HERO, without any Dark-One-ness to sway him, and he STILL betrayed Belle and everyone again. I mean, I was thinking/hoping he would become the Dark One again, since Rumple Bumple is the main reason anyone watches this show, but I hoped for something better than this half-baked reason of "that's just the man I am LOL".

After all this personality juggling with Hook and Gold, who's next? Is Regina suddenly gonna say "you know what, screw it, I'm gonna be evil again because PLOT!" oh wait, that's right, she just used Dark magic (and Light) to send her sister back to Oz.

While I was quite satisfied with the cliffhanger (mostly because it means Hook can come back), I'm not sure how I feel about Emma stealing David and Snow's "I will always find you", but maybe that's just because I associate that with David and I HATE David (didn't even have a proper goodbye for his daughter, just let Snow do the whole "I love you" monologue). In fact, I wish David and Snow weren't going to the Underworld since they were so ready to give up in this episode like nah, you're not heroes anymore, you're just 2 whiny half-supportive parents with a baby.
