1. Heartless

While its predecessor made me wish for an hour of my life I'll never get back, I felt this episode was worth every minute. This one had great acting, music, and did bring us all the way back to the feels of Season One. The Evil Queen was really threatening in this episode, they twisted the sleeping curse in a cool way, and it wasn't so drab or ridiculous. One could still shout retcon, but I really do think it was an episode that resonated in a way the show hadn't for awhile.

2. A Strange Case

I loved the twist on Jekyll and Hyde. I also felt this episode really changed the dynamic from when we first saw the pair meet and it made so much sense. Jekyll ruined Hyde, so he'd return the favor. Not to mention, we got to see Jasmine before she got one track minded.

3. The Other Shoe

The actress who played Tremaine was amazing and I loved Cinderella's story. I also enjoyed how it had balance and that we could truly feel for almost all parties in this episode.

4. Changelings

Although I wasn't a fan of how hateful everyone was in this episode, the tension and darkness were on point. It also added another layer to Rumple which may hint that his character could make one final comeback.

5. Wish You Were Here

Besides Princess Emma (whom I hope we never see again), I feel like the nostalgia was nice. The tension was off the charts at the end and it did leave us wondering so many things.

6. A Bitter Draught

Lana and herself duking it out. Enough said.

'''7-9 I'll Be Your Mirror, The Savior, and Street Rats. '''These were alright, but none made a lasting impression.

10. Dark Waters

Absolute worst episode ever. Boring, ridiculous, confusing, it just was no. Not to mention, forced Hook and Henry problems that didn't exist. Had it been done right, it may have helped people who have parents that have moved on. I get it was supposed to buy Hook sympathy, but I don't have any for the guy who left a boy fatherless and expects people to feel bad with the puppy dog face. That's not how it works. Let's not forget the weird Liam II aging stuff and GoldenQueen.
