I rewatched the episode, and on second watch i did not get the feeling that Hades was being duplicitous towards Zelena. Little things, like Hades reaction when he and Zelena were on the Bike together, and particularly the way he dismissed it initially, makes me think that there actually might be something there from Hades towards Zelena.

And I applaud Zelena for being cautious. That is sincerely a great message for the younger generation. While I do believe in True Love at first sight (Kinda how I fell for my wife, and we've been married 30+ years now), people do need to keep their wits about them when dealing with matters of the heart. Besides, Zelena has a lot of inner turmoil to deal with (baby issues, Mama issues, sister issues, just to name a few). The last thing she needs at the moment is to rush into a relationship.

I'm not riding the Turquiose ship yet, but I will say that it is slightly better set up than either Rumbelle or Swan/Jones. I'll give that relationship a chance and see where the writers take that part of the story.

Also, kudo's to Emilie for her Belle portrayal. She's obviously dressed to hide her Baby Bump, but her face managed to capture the entire range of emotions that she felt as Rumple revealed all. All the way from the inital confusion about being in the UW, to happiness at the realization that she was pregnant, to horror at the thought that Rumple had "sold" the baby, to disgust about Rumple being the Dark One again. and probably a few others that I missed.
