I don't understand the bit with the tombstones. Are Emma, Snow and Regina dead now or what? If Hades can just create tombstones and instantly kill a living person in the Underworld why didn't he do this from the beginning? Looks like Henry better hurry up and find that pen, he only had like 2 words to say in this episode!!! Tbh Hook should have just chiseled in Rumple, and David and Snow because they're so annoying.

I'm glad Hook is back with Emma now though ... I was worried they'd spend like 10 episodes chasing Hades and Hook before they made any progress, all the while bumping into more dead people and having to help them get their closure.

But I swear to Zeus, Hades' blue hair is giving me a headache ... it was a cool touch at the end of souls of the departed, but it just doesn't go. In Disney's Hercules, the hair matched Hades' overall deathly appearance, but you can't just take a normal looking guy in a comfy suit and give his hair some crappy CGI.

I'm loving the plot holes getting closed so far this season, and Rumple's deal with the wizard. I love the touch that Rumplestiltskin had to promise someone else his next child - irony at its sweetest. But as I believe someone has said, it's a shame how it rules out any other kids Rumple may have had between Baelfire and baby French. I wonder whether the baby will inherit any Dark Oneness, or at least magic. I feel bad for Henry now though, having an uncle and now a half-uncle who are over 10 years younger than him, that's just messed up.

I'm still hoping that my theory from last week's episode, about Hades doing a similar thing to what Rumple tried with the Sorcerer's Hat, is at least partially right, and I'm getting confident after seeing the sneak peek for next week (SPOILERS - Snow and David find a key marked similarly to the Sorcerer's Hat).

I'm hoping we can save Milah, perhaps the same way Megara is saved in the movie. Perhaps a god will come to help them quite soon and will be able to fish Milah out of the river himself.

I also hope they look for Merlin soon, or at least check if his gravestone is knocked over. Emma and Hook kind of owe it to him since they killed him. But I guess I'm just still hung up on his frankly pathetic death. And where the hell are all the Dark Ones??? We know they're all in Underbrooke, why hasn't Nimue reared her lizard head yet?
