So a group of humans killed Gothel’s family and destroyed her home, which is very sad, but she then declared vengeance on humanity and commited mass murder, plus all the other terrible things she’s done so I don’t feel sorry for her. Not one bit. Not to mention that she doesn’t seem to regret anything she’s done. Except apparently abandon Alice, but that’s only because Alice has magic and could join her coven so it doesn’t count. I actually don’t think we’re meant to feel sorry for her. I think her backstory is supposed to be an explanation on why she became evil and only that. Gothel being a tree nymph was pretty interesting since that means Alice is half-tree nymph. I really enjoyed the Knightrook team up and Gothel making Alice join her coven and cast some spell to save Killian was cruel. I loved that Henry and Ella finally kissed this episode because Facilier (who I kind of like now) cured him using Ella’s glass slipper and some voodoo magic. I really wished the curse would have been broken though. The Land Without Magic turned out to have originally been a land with magic, but the magic was destroyed by humans with traces of it left behind. This explains why magic is in the Land Without Magic. My only discrepancy with this is that the magic was destroyed thousands of years ago, but the styles of that time in the show aren’t even close to thousands of years ago in our world, which the Land Without Magic is supposed to represent. But whatever.
