Esk's Grade Report for this episode.

Story (2.5 out of 4)

- Plot: The flashback had a rushed feeling to it; however, it was a solid piece. Minor things like "Regina can't hurt Snow and David in this land" sort of were upheld, memory wipes are a tad too common, and new insight to pre-curse days. The Present was solid; however, much of the tension was loss with Fiona's lack of motivation. The Dark Curse (while cast a total of four times) can only be feared so much. (1 out of 2)

- Character: Emma goes through a quick cycle of doubt (which she has every few episodes), but it comes out beautifully with Henry. Rumple seems to be solidly back on the dark side, with Hook returning to "skinning himself a crocodile". So... another cycle. (1.5 out of 2)

Music (3.5 out of 4)

- All really catchy songs. Some are a little too wordy, a little too spontaneous, etc.

General Consensus (1.5 out of 2)

- Mostly positive with a few questions and complaints.

Overall Score: 7.5 out of 10,  a solid musical episode.
