It was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was hard to watch. The actors were fantastic. The writing was fantastic. It was absolutely heartbreaking.

Jen was beyond words. How her voice broke and the shaking hands and the look in her eyes, and how she broke down when Emma decided not to kill Merida. And in the end. "I'm the dark one".

I understand why Zelena tried to escape to Oz. It was smart. For the first time in her life, she has a chance at happiness. And she doesn't want it ruined. But the woman is insane. And her lines are hilarious. Bex plays her perfectly.

It felt like Grumpy was echoing what we've been saying for years. See? The characters understand what we're saying...

THE EXCALIBUR DAGGER!!!!!!!!!! That was amazing. Even before that slide to the dagger I was like "hold your what the oh my dagger". Nicely played, writers, nicely played.

And as for the time jump, CALLED IT!!! I knew it! That was my theory! So I'm a little too happy with the memory loss and the pretty dire circumstances. Oh well...

Hook and Regina fighting was great. It showed how much they both care about her and how devastated they both were. We finally know for sure that Regina values Emma as a friend as Emma does Regina. It was obvious Hook would feel this way but it was nice to see Regina caring that much.

They didn't forget to write in any little kids!!!! It's impressive.

Loved the rose. Loved the backup generator. Loved the sword. It was really really good. I know they just happened, but honestly, that was an episode that deserved an Emmy. Up until now I wasn't surprised they weren't on the list, because even though I love it unconditionally, the show has had ups and downs, But the acting was amazing, so was the writing, It was one of the best episodes in the show.

Okay I'm done.
