Actually thought this was a brilliant episode, if not the best so far.

Yes, Amara being the genies' mother was predictable but I honestly thought it was a nice way to tie everything up. It gave Amara the motivation I felt her character needed, rather than just being a plot-device for Jafar finally becoming the evil sorcerer he is now. I actually recall watching that episode and saying 'well, didn't really think much to her' and that although it was cool that it got a backstory, I reckoned that would be it for her character now she's Jafar's staff.

Speaking of the staff, that is obviously what Cyrus will have to return to the well. How gutting for him to discover his Mother is alive, only for him to discover she is a cobra-headed staff. And HOW on earth are they going to take that from Jafar. That should be interesting!

Also, was that confirmation in the Jabberwocky's torture of the Anastacia that she is indeed Cinderella's stepsister as often speculated? If so, then love that!

All in all, I especially loved the Wonderland wackiness of the 2 doors, lying riddle scene (because sometimes I feel this show does forget to put the 'wonder' into Wonderland and it almost feels just like EF with toadstools) and just how dark and hopeless everything seems for the heroes. That'll make the ending so much more satisfying when they undoubtably prevail! :)
