-Maleficent just let them go with her egg... She is a sorceress for god's shake. How come she didn't go to reclaim her egg after that scene? She just stayed there.

-How Ursula and Cruella came to this land was totally absurd. There was a gigantic hole in the ground and they just stood right at the edge. Pathetic.

-They never explained how everyone woke up after Maleficent's spell.

-How come the apprentice never told them they would send the egg to another land. That's a pivotal part of the deal. He looked like a jerk. Totally different to what we saw in 4x04

The best part of the episode was the promo of Heart of Gold Everyone woke up from Maleficent's spell because she has a variety of lower caliber sleeping spells and curses (just like the peasants in 4x13).

The reason the Apprentice seemed like a jerk was explained at the end of the episode. The Apprentice said: "How could you make me do that?" The Author was manipulating everything like August said. That's why it seemed a little rushed when he opened the door before Snow and David knocked on it. That dragon roar could have not been Maleficent. The Author could have just wrote in the book: "dragon roar in background." so that Snow and David would enter the house.
