Nice episode.


 * At first I wasn't quite getting the flashback, but the twist made it quite interesting. Also, we established two things: a) Rumple has always been the kind of person to seek the easy way out. b) No wonder Milah was so frustrated with Rumple when she left: he was a public coward, he didn't live up to Milah's (twisted) standards for masculinity, he screwed her over behind her back and… well, the only birth control method they could have was abstinence, which I don't think is good for a marriage (especially because Milah strikes me as a life-loving person in general).


 * Milah's fate saddened me. Really, we saw a more human side of her just in time to see her gone for good. :/


 * Regina only had two scenes but, as usual, totally nailed the episode.


 * The Divine Comedy reference sent me ecstatic.


 * Nice way to work Emilie's pregnancy into the show and making it meaningful to the plot rather than "Hey, Rumbelle get a baby".


 * Yay for continuity all over the place. And also the little nod to early S2 Regina with her problems with magic.


 * I think Regina being totally unable to get into Emma's chest was due to Emma's powers having grown considerably since Cora attempted it.
