A very surprising episode all around!

I'm going to research something, but I might have a theory on the sword...

CALLED IT! Aladdin is the genie. BOOM. ...Honestly thought they'd play it up a bit more, though. It was kind of a letdown.

All I can say about the Black Fairy is... wow. Now let me undermine that statement by saying other things.

I loved her costume though?? I honestly expected her to be half naked since villainesses tend to show more skin than heroines (case in point, EQ vs. Regina) but the Blue Fairy is already showing quite a bit. But they didn't - she's just a fairy, but black. Which was weirdly amazing despite being so simple.

It was a little disappointing that we didn't actually learn... basically anything about her. She was apparently a Fairy Godmother at one point (Blue said she started kidnapping the children she cared for) and she's Rumple's mum who loves power more than... well, love. But at the same time, this is obviously a set-up for a future, likely amazing, Rumple-centric. I just hope that they actually accomplish it this time. (Granted, Rumple is much more important than the aforelinked characters, so he's got a better chance.)

I'm very tempted to call her Evanna now. It seems kind of fitting.

Moving on from her, though... did they just write off Blue? I mean, not that she was ever really on to begin with, lol. Still, that scene was very heartbreaking and well done by Emilie and Keegan. It definitely made me doubt Blue's shadiness, which is saying something.

Surprised that they didn't reveal Emma's murderer in this episode. Adam and Eddy said we'd learn about it before the break, right? So I guess we have to learn about it in the next episode...

Jack and Jill were, of course, completely useless. Actually, they weren't even called Jack and Jill, lol. Were they cut? Or was that always the plan?

And one last thing... Did this episode actually have a title card? I might have missed it, but I never saw it, which is weird.
