Fantastic episode! My top points about it are:

1. DO Dagger is the tip of Exalibur! Makes sense in a way. Something magically powerful has to be used to bind/ defeat the first DO.

2. LOVED Merida! I was going to hurl something at the TV if Emma crushed her heart. Hopefully she isn't a character that only apprears in a few episodes and that's it.

3. Zelena's escape and story was great! If Rebecca wasn't so fantastic I'd be all for her to return to Oz with her baby but I love her so SHE STAYS! Cutting her hand off was genius because you know... magic!

4. Rumple as the DO conscious. Didn't quite clearly get out the boar's name he turned into but appartmently that was a previous DO. Be interesting to learn about other ones.

5. Emma's transition to becoming the DO. Every promo showed her still good so I was wondering how they were going to turn her into the all black, evil Dark Swan.

6 The ending! Storybrooke residents are SCREWED! Wrath of a DO with her dagger!! I think Hook is in the worst trouble here.

7 Overused Memory Wipe is acceptable right now. Probably a plot device to have a flashback sequence and present day sequences in each episode.
