For me, this episode had a lot of writing problems. Stuff comes out of nowhere, people acting stupid, rushed development because EQUALITY!, and characterizations that shouldn't work.

1: Where did Belle get the sleeping curse? Did she ever actually say?

2: Red is bi now because..... why, exactly? You expect me to believe she went 22+ years and DIDN'T show any signs of deviant sexuality?

3: Everyone is OK with Red bisexuality? Emma I can believe, since she lived in our world up till 2011, but everyone else lived in Midieval Times, when that was still a very big no-no. The munchkins too.

4: After one stroll through the forest, Red and Dorothy know they have "True Love?" And don't give me that "it's just like any other fairy tale" s**t, this isn't supposed to be the fairy tales. This is the real world, damnnit! They act like real world people! You don't have love in general after a single walk together, certainly not "True Love!" I've studied writing, I know how this stuff works.

5: No one's gonna point out to Belle that falling asleep doesn't ACTUALLY stop your body functions, right? Now, if she stuck with saying the sleeping curse "froze" her, I wouldn't complain. But she clearly states several times "once I'm asleep", implying the curse doesn't.

I wish the writers thought out this one better. Chicken scratching David's name on was hilarious, and was a nice gesture. Ginny did great as Judy Hopps, so I can't be mad they wrote her out. But, man, just a picture in a book showing her with Neal. Not even an actuall scene. That's just cold.
