Ok, Thoughts:

- Love Dark Hook. However, the call out to Milah was part of an act. Killian is over Milah, as is Rumple. They've both moved on.

- There are definitely signs that Hook is not all Dark. The biggest of which is that Gold still lives. Hook showed good form in healing Gold's leg, and I honestly think he allowed Gold to win. Yes, he got the blood, but after that he still could have killled him. Instead, he left him alive and with Excalibur. (assuming that was the real one, and not another fake).

- Dark CaptainSwan - WOW! the feels (both good and not so good). I guess Hook is done with being Emma's puppy dog, at least for the moment.

- Yay for Belle. There is still hope for Rumpbelle, but they are taking steps to resolve it in a better way. Their feelings for each other are real, but Belle is finally being realistic about the next steps. And Gold even recognized that Belle's choices were based on who SHE was, not who he was. without the darkness driving him, he seems to be making better choices, and also being more understanding and truly empathetic of what is going on.

- Finally, Regina and Robin come to their senses regarding Zelena. I think that the confession of Regina about Henry being the catalyst for her redemption, while we already knew that, was nice as a continuation for her. Maybe, just Maybe, there is a chance that the Mills family can get it together.

Stray thoughts:

- Is Merlin REALLY dead? Or will he show up along with all of the Dark Ones? He seems to have it too much together not to have a contigency plan.

- What is Dark one Hook's game? He's up to something even beyond what we have seen.

- Good catch on the time line. Now maybe it is nothing, but then again, there may be 2-3 additional weeks in Storybrooke that we need to learn about.

- I doubt that Emma was really going to tether Zelena to the sword and kill her. Primarily because tethering her to the sword would only cause Zelena to transport back to the EF to the DO vault. So Emma had a different game in mind, but that one got temporarily derailed. (or did it?)

- Where is Lancelot? We know he went to seek out his Mom, the Lady of the Lake (Nice pull in of Arthurian legend), and he has not been seen in SB, but I'm betting he's there. Somehow, I am betting that part comes into play in "Swan Song".

- What's going to happen when the DO convention comes to Storybrooke. Is the town going to go to Hell in a Handbasket?
