Very disappointed that there were no Wonderland connections to Amara or Jafar's father. The flashback part of the episode was really vague. On the other hand, I liked how they twisted the Aladdin Disney tale. Instead of Aladdin bumping into Jasmine like in Disney, Jasmine was looking for him and later fell in love. Very creative on their part,  The Fates' scissor/shears was an interesting add-on to Greek Myths. The Storybrooke part of the episode was written okay. Zelena seems to be going up and down with this whole Wicked thing (It's basically the Rumpelstiltskin being evil dilemma instead with lying to a love interest, we have lying to a family) and we don't need another Rumpelstiltskin good/evil toss again. The Diamond In The Rough seems to be a really amazing concept too with the whole idiom for someone who has good intentions but lacks manner or education (Aladdin). But Archie is now a cricket again, and I wonder if Jiminy is gonna act as Robyn's conscience (Just a thought).

Overall, this episode was a meh in my opinion.
