Interesting episode.

1. I knew Rumple would still be a coward. It was one of his original traits, not a consequence of being the DO.

2. He's still somewhat dependent on magic to solve his problems.

3. Yay for Belle! She got to be a hero herself this episode (pulling the rug out from under Merida when Rumple was too scared.

4. Merida really is a jerk.

5. Henry is smarter than I thought. He's able to seperate Emma from the DO in his mind and realize that she's under it's influence. Now if he would

6. I can't believe Zelena changed. Big shocker.

7. Sassy Belle didn't put up with Rumple's cowardice, just as I suspected would happen as soon as I saw how mousy he was acting.

8. Like Merida said, going over the townline actually would have been the smartest thing to do. No Rumple to pull the sword, and no Belle to use as leverage.

9. Since when is Rumple not an expert in magic? Seriously, he didn't know that the powder he just happened to have would turn Merida back into a human?

No number 10, for now at least.
