What an episode! I thought Jacinda and Lucy exchanging letters was adorable and I love Jacinda and Sabine’s friendship. I’m really liking Tiana so far and I hope we get to see how she becomes the leader of the resistance in her centric. Wish Hook appeared to be checking out Tiana a few times, but I don’t think anything’s going to come of it. And if it does, I probably won’t be opposed to it. I loved the twist on Anastasia. It was very Once like. Like Tiana joining the resistance, I’m also interested in learning exactly what happened to Anastasia and if Cinderella (or Ella, as she goes by now) really is to blame.

I loved Jacinda’s determination to get Lucy back. And how she fixed her mistake of burning the petition with a hope speech that Snow White would be proud of. I also enjoyed the parallel between That Still Small Voice and this episode. I understand why people would be upset about these sorts of things, but it feels like I’m watching the show for the first time and I love that. Also can we talk about the Witch? She is super creepy and I am very excited about her character. Why does Tremaine have her chained up? Both Tremaine and the Witch appear to be awake and they have a history together so that’s another thing to look forward to.

I have one qualm about this episode, though. Where does the forking paths part of the title come in? The garden part is easy, but where is the forking path?
