Kudos to Andrew Chambliss & Dana Horgan (the writers) and the cast & crew for another meaninful and wonderful episode.

I Loved: 1) Snow White resurfaces, 2) CRUELLA for Darling's sake, 3) Regina's one-liners and quips, 4) Bailee Madisson being awesome again as Snow, 5) Her little romance with Herc, 6) Hades' style, 7) The lesson that Herc taught Snow and Snow, in turn, reminded Herc: "You can't let fear of failure keep you from trying." WOW, Kudos to the way in which the writers convey this theme and idea through an amazingly-crafted story and 8) How Snow learnt archery, in turn, how she became a hero or leader of the people.

I'm also excited about the two new twists: Cruella and Henry's mission about the quill and Hook's current dillemma of choosing which of his friends/family stays in the Underworld.

Other notes: 1) I think we already knew that the Blind Witch stole Regina's apple in "True North", 2) It seemed that Meg's unfinished business was linked to Herc's: to be saved by Herc, as he sent her away for protection, so that he would defeat Cerberus. She was probably in the Underworld so that Herc could fulfill his twelfth labor of killing Cerberus and save her (that's what Snow claims near the end of the episode) and 3) I, too, kind of expected Herc and Meg to don their respective Disney personas, but we have to accept that the show has its own twists and takes on the characters (which I deeply respect). I still enjoyed Herc's story.

It was a great episode overall!
