I didn't have my hopes up for the flashback in the episode, but it was surprisingly very good. I really liked the focus on Regina's parents rather than Regina herself (at least it felt like that way to me). It started out cheap with the birthday scene but turned really great. And even though there is no suspense when it comes to Regina wanting to kill Snow, the flashbacks are still interesting. And at least for me Regina was IC this episode.

Rumple is a bit awkward throughout the episode but I think he really is nervous and wants to get out as soon as possible. He has been trapped there before, I would want out as quickly as possible as well. He's just like: "I'm going to get something so you can communicate with Hook so you can grab him and get out of here. I don't want to be here in the first place and if you're going to stall by saving others then I will return because I'm genuinly afraid of this place." although Rumple would never say that.

And even though it wasn't anything major I really liked to see the Blind Witch
