This episode was so great! The Jekyll and Hyde twist was a very classic Once twist, and I loved the inclusion of Mary Reilly because that's another very classic Once twist.

Hook was very cool in this episode, I don't think he actually interacted with Emma in the entire episode. He only mentioned her once even. It's also neat that even though the protection spell was apparently only able to stop Belle and Hyde, he still stayed with her for some time after he originally intended to leave.

I totally predicted how the EQ has to die (well, kind of. There are only three ways it could have gone; the way it did go with a "dominant" half that must die to kill the other half, they must both die at the exact same time like in modern multiplayer Super Mario games, or both halves are invincible until they are combined back into each other.) I loved Jekyll and Hyde but I knew they would be killed because that's the only way to figure out how to kill the Evil Queen, and also they couldn't have Hyde loose in Storybrooke (of course, knowing the twist now, that's not actually a problem lol)

And I also like the confirmation that the "darkness" removed from Jekyll and Regina isn't actually their physical darkness. I've been saying that for awhile.

Belle was really awesome too. She made use of what was around her to defend herself until she ran out of any reasonable weapon (including, at one point, trying to make Jekyll guilty for attacking a pregnant woman :P I liked that)

I'm liking Platonic!SwanQueen this season. It was okay in Season 5 but we never really got to see that relationship play out because the Dark Swan never really became the problem.

The Dwarves being involved was nice, but honestly did they think that the co-stars could successfully protect anyone?

Overall, I am very happy with how this season is going, like most people here. ^.^
