Jace: A "Do it yourself" kinda person

Alice: Not from (or involved with?) Wonderland. Apparently mysterious.

Henry: Doesn't believe in any of his real past. Lives outside HH, while Lucy brings him to HH.

Tremaine: Love to hate?

Roni vs Victoria: Evilicious clash?

Rumple: Some sort of "connection".

Rogers/Hook: Might remember something/someone....maybe. He's accompanied with a new work partner (Rumple?)

Episode is heavily focused on Henry and Jace (as it sets everything up, of course)

Most seemed to like it. Lucky people got to see the episode already, and we have to wait two more weeks! Did anyone say anything about Tiana or Drizella? Also, I don't believe they are going to do Alice and not connect her to Wonderland in some way, or at least other characters and such from the book. Also, I find it ironic that people say she's mysterious, but not from Wonderland. Like if she was so mysterious, how do you know she's not from Wonderland? They aren't going to show the characters complete story arcs in the first episode. XD Not much about them that we couldn't figure out.

Think of Alice, but subtract Wonderland. It makes sense is they want everything to be within EF2.

Matt said to not pigeonhole Alice as Alice from Wonderland and others sort of vaguely talked about her. Hmm... I think I may have figured it out, and others have suggested it before. Saying don't just pigeonhole her as Alice in Wonderland makes me think that she is doing double duty. What other character would indicate she is not just Alice in Wonderland, and is a female character we have been missing? The other stepsister from Cinderella! Having her name be Alice allows for her to have a name similar to Anastasia, without having to use that name again. And we know they thought that Wonderland and the ugly stepsisters fit well together, as Ana on Wonderland was an allusion to an ugly stepsister. It also would explain how we haven't gotten a casting for another stepsister 8 episodes in, because we have actually had it the whole time. So what do you guys think?
