I really loved this episode, probably the best of the season.

Flashbacks were so good! Rumple was supposed to be a Savior? WHAT? I was really shocked and intrigued by this twist. Even though Tiger Lily was kinda useless (?), I love her line of evil not being born, but made. Fiona's reasons felt right with the show and her family's mythology. She didn't choose to give up her son, but she still preferred power, just like Rumple will do. And it also kinda explained Malcom's future motivations too.

Present day, I loved the Rumple/Gideon scenes, it's such a great dynamic and the actors work amazingly. Dream World was a logical way to provide informations and Emma was probably the most in-character she's been this seasons, when talking to Rumple about abandonment. I loved Regina/Zelena scenes, so funny! Plus, Regina vs Black Fairy who gets hit by Zelena's car LOOOL Rumple/Black Fairy scene at the end was so intense and magnifically acted (applauses for Robert and Jaime!), and I kinda expected Rumple to go on her side, but at the same time, he could be playing her and actually plotting to defeat her. We'll see.
