This was a great episode! It's been a while since an episiode made me hyped for the next one, and I'm calling this one of the best episodes of Season Six so far (the musical one might steal the title). I enjoyed the character development of Rumple, and Zelena was actually interesting. Can we just agree that her running over the Black Fairy was the best moment in Season Six? And Gideon embracing his parents was so sweet. I just loved it.

I did have a few problems with it, though. The flashbacks were not at all satisfying. Rumple turning to the Dark Side was really annoying---I don't care if he's double-crossing her in the end, he ''should've just killed her. And why'' is he double-crossing her? Is there any more of her dark plan that he has to figure out how to stop? It seems like the only reason he didn't just crush her heart was to drive the audience crazy. And the Tiger Lily plot was not at all needed. We are done with Neverland.

Finally, two questions: one, what prop did Rumple use as the Black Fairy's heart? And two, if Malcolm believed that his wife was dead, how did Rumple know that his mother had "abandoned" him?
