Okay, I had to think a lot about this episode before being able to discuss, and most of my perplexity came from the last scene.

At first shipper-me went kinda ballistic at Robin choosing to side with Marian!Zelena, and then staying with her, but I think I can understand his reasons: he's not choosing her over Regina, he's simply trying to be a reasonable father. There is a baby coming, it's his baby and he's trying to do what's best for it. So at first he tried to protect who he thought was his pregnant wife from Regina threatening to physically harm her, and then I guess he's trying to protect the unborn baby from being raised only by a learly psychopathic mother. So it's hard to swallow, but I think he's trying to do what's best for the baby, at least until it's born. Let's see how it turns out.

I'm not overly fond of Emma-centric episodes, but this one was quite good. First, we learned what really happened to have Emma react so harshly to Lily – I mean, you can't go on blabbing about how someone screwed you over just because they lied to you, there had to be something more. And there it was.

Also, I was hoping Regina and Belle had an agreement over her heart, but still I think she's doing an okay job at trying to change. Despite the desperate measures she took on that side, which I disapprove of, she's really trying to protect Emma from taking a dangerous path and she's doing so by using her own past as a source of wisdom. This means she's really dealing with her mistakes and trying to make something out of them, which is whas refused to do when she was fully villainous.
