I e njoyed this episode immensely. I really liked seeing Emma being back to her normal self and fighting the spider. I honestly thought Gideon had decided working with her would be better, so when he turned on her, I was surprised. However, he is being controlled by the Black Fairy so that might not have been entirely his choice. The scene where the spider was wrapping Emma up scared me a lot and I was relieved when Rumple showed up to cut her out. In regards to the flashback, the Black Fairy appears to be as evil as she was said to be. Her being the creator of the dark curse was a nice touch. My favorite scenes were probably the Hook and Blackbeard ones. I loved how we got to see Hook trade his ship the second time and his and Blackbeard's banter. In regards to the return to Neverland, it was underwhelming, but I am hoping that next week will be better. And speaking of Neverland, I am really disappointed that Emma didn't open a portal to there like I thought she might. Maybe next week. I thought the Author part was pretty good. Intriguing, but not terribly exciting. All in all, I overall loved it, but am sorely disappointed in Emma and Killian's continued separation.
