Solid episode.

I really liked the flashbacks, except for the timeline issues. At this point I'm starting to believe Robin actually grew up in SB and everyone aged for 18 years, and therefore Zelena and Regina (and Emma too, I guess) used some kind of potion to look young (very silly but the only logical explenation). Anyway, apart from that, I like the Zelena/Nook (totally calling him like that, thanks Zelena) partnership and the magical shop with Gothel and Leota (although I would have liked to see her not just inside the ball), plus Zelena sacrficing herself for Robin made me emotional (and yay, she finally has her magic back!).

Present day, always love Regina and Zelena (or should I say Roni and Kelly) scenes. I like also that they are continuing the investigation storyline towards Eloise Gardener (and the cult is a good metaphore for the coven) with Rogers and Weaver. However, Victoria's death was the highlight of the episode, it was a great way to end the character's storyline, redemption through sacrifice. And I loved that it wasn't to save Anastasia (btw, not really convinced about her character) but Ivy (great work from Adelaide). Final scene was also intense and totally inspired by Pretty Little Liars LOL

I would rate this episode 8.5.
