- Rumple was a better teacher than Regina ever was for Ivy. Though his intentions were evil, though justified for good in the end, he still taught Regina the most important lesson of magic: all magic comes with a price. Regina, however, does not make that lesson clear in this episode.

- How is Ivy making her mother suffer by casting a curse to do evil? Isn't that what Vick would expect from her child? Doing evil to everyone? If she wants to make her mother suffer, why didn't she join Regina to do good things, the complete opposite of everything Vick stands for? Why not kill Vick with kindness?

Despite Ivy's evil intentions, she reminds me so much of Regina, so she's definitely my nomination for "villain most likely to reform."

- That trailer for next week, it makes me mad at the part when Regina says "Rumplestiltskin." I mean, decide writers: is Rumple awake or not? It looks like Writters are playing a game of "be the dummy" knowingly or unknownlingy thats why they havent been  leting us  know if Rumple is or is he not awake in previous episode,but he is awaken its on his page.

I don't think it is a fair point of criticism. Rumple does not know that Regina got back his memories. So, he is forced to act like it was some random askings from Roni. He can't betray himself. Well that may be the case, but wouldn't Rumple know Regina well enough to know when she's awake? How? That's not something you can know like that. I don't see how Rumple can know if Regina got her memories back, especially without magic. So yeah, he is forced to keep acting as Weaver the bad cop. In his mind, it'd be suspicious if he acts differently with cursed people so it might put the attention on him. Roni is different than Regina. They have different personalities, so Roni would act differently than Regina, just like Rumple acts differently than Weaver. For example, at the end of Beauty, we know he's awake when he says the word, dearie - but that confuses me because I'm trying to see Rumple as finally turning over a new leaf and being good so he can return to Belle in the afterlife, but when he says dearie, it usually is to end one of his evil speeches, so ...
