I'm glad TLK didn't work with Henry and Lucy. He cares about her, but it doesn't seem feasible that he loves her already.

The coven really intrigues me. They've focused on magic from folklore and stories (obviously), but I think it's cool that we're seeing things from the occult - much darker. I'd like to know more about the other witches too (please don't just be hooded figures like with the Dark Ones)

Since Robin's here, I wonder if they're gonna show grown up Neal too - that would be cool.

Sidenote: Did anyone else think Alice looked really pretty this ep? (She always does, but alot in the flashabcks). Her and Robin are a good-looking couple lol. I agree. When Robin started saying a name with 'A', I thought she said Aidan. And I swore Regina said "he", but when Alice said she would lose "her", I knew it was Robin. And really, I'm glad to see another lesbian couple that actually worked out. Mulan didn't get her girl. And Red and Dorothy were only shown in the end. We don't know what happened. And we STILL don't know if the couples in the magical realms can have babies in same-sex couples. I mean magic exists for a reason right? Or if they just adopt, and those kids are part of new stories? Who knows? I want to. And I want to know who Henry's sister is. She'd be like 9, right?

And I had been worried that Regina was going to have to crush the heart of the person she loved most. Turns out the dark curse can be different in differnet worlds. But all that really maakes me wonder who or rather, what, Gothel is. Like why does she need the Guardian? Why is she so obsessed with Rapunzel's family in the first place? It seems like more than just  a result of the turnips. What is her damage?

She calls herself Mother, but cares not for her own child. She uses lonely children, and twists them. And yet, is obsessed with family. What is that about? They could always turn one into a pseudo male briefly, like they did as revelad in fate/apocrypha.

I still think the way they got around the dark curse was a bit of a cheat? What happened to all magic comes with a price? This seems less costly.
