I liked this week's episode! I was glad that James finally did something instead of just sitting around leering after his brother. Funny though how they have an entire fishing town, plenty of docks, and yet everyone who gets pushed into the River of Lost Souls gets pushed in at that exact spot (except Milah, who got to go swimming in CGI-Land).

Favourite lines include Cruella's "that's for killing me, darling" and Zelena's quip about Belle choosing eternal sleep over another moment with Rumple XD

I didn't think I could ever like Cora, but now I do. I'm very satisfied with this episode and the closure Regina/Zelena/Cora got and that Zelena can finally stop this "Regina has everything, you all hate me!!" stuff. And glad that, in spite of what Emma said about James and how some people can never move on, Cora managed to exit through the cave instead of being killed off.

Regardless of the decision to send Cora to the better place, I thought it was a bit cheap how they sent up those flames as a red herring before opening the gates of WHITE LIGHTTTT!!! We were all surprised Cora scraped it under the heaven wire, we didn't need that quick bit of teasing. After her emotional goodbye (a beautiful scene in my opinion) all the flames did for me was say "you were a horrible woman, ETERNAL FIRE!!.... lol just kidding, go to your happy place". As I say, I thought it was cheap.

Congratulations to Robin though for shooting James CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP. At least they actually gave him something to do in this episode, albeit shooting a dead man.

Final thought: does the Lord of the Underworld only know one romantic song? The same song plays in his flashy car at the beginning and in the diner at the end. This is literally a repeat of Henry trying to court Violet and using the same ancient song on each meeting. Perhaps if Hades and Henry merged their music collections they would have more exciting dates.
