Overall, an amazing episode, and much better that I was anticipating. All the actors got their A-Game on.

The Emotional aspect of the episode was off the charts. Elsa and Anna Reunitied, OutlawQueen, Snowing, CaptainSwan, Regina and Henry.. All were well done. Colin really brought out the inner conflict that Hook is fighting, as did Lana. While I am totally ticked at Rumple, my hat's off to Robert Carlysle for his excellent acting (yet again). And Anna and Kristoff really sold the whole trapped in a chest scene.

Questions remaining from the Episode:

1. What was the message in a bottle? It obvioulsly washed up with the chest, so there is still something to be resolved there.

2. Are the Fairies really gone, or is there something that we don't understand yet on the hat, and they will be released?

3. Blackbeard is still alive. Is he also on his way to Storybrooke? And did Killian truly trade the Jolly Roger to Blackbeard, or did he commandeer it from the other owner?

4. How will Elsa and Emma defeat Ingrid? And how will they conquer the Curse?

5. How is Emma going to get Killians heart back?

I'm sure there are other questions lingering, but this is good for starters.
