I suspected Jekyll and Hyde's tenure would be finished in this episode. It feels as if they're needing to cram everything they've wanted to do in this season since it's probably the final one.

The flashbacks were great and I enjoyed having Dr Lydgate there to tie things up with the OUATIW timeline. But how did Rumple hear about Jekyll's experiments? I know, I know... "Your questions are pointless."

I wish Belle and Rumple were given separate arcs. They need a break. A very long break. Also, is it just me or did Flashback!Rumple look more repulsive than usual? It could have been due to the cut from Gold's flashy new haircut to Rumple's matted untamed mess, I suppose.

Ah yes, and then there's Jasmine and Oracle. I've never heard the name Shirin before - is it a reference to something I'm not aware of? A Middle-Eastern folklore maybe?...from the looks of the promo for next episode, we may be getting a passing reference to Ali Baba. Also, is it just me or is the Oracle just terrible? Maybe it's the actress, but I feel annoyed whenever she's onscreen. The way she ended her sentence with "Jasmine" felt very forced. I hope Jafar shows up and throws her across the room again. Anyway, I'm looking forward to next episode!
