1) It's probably based on the owner's wish. Bae wants a land where there's no magic to save his father. Hook wants a land where he doesn't age and can plan his revenge on Rumpel. Though I could buy that certain beans from certain areas went specific places and Bae's bean went to our world while Hook's was specifically for Neverland.

3) I thought Hook was cute but as I got into the episode, I really wanted to know more about Milah and her backstory. I hope we can still somehow get more info on Milah's backstory and why she did the things she did.

5) Apparently, there's an episode coming up that deals with this issue, so there's a good chance that Wolf!Red is making a comeback.

6) I think Maurice is just used to using Belle this way. Her reaction strikes me of years of seeing him do things he thinks are in her best interest and she finally just snaps after this latest (and really horrid) event mixed in with Rumpel pulling the same thing. I do wish though they played out Belle accepting him back into her life for a little longer though.

7) I think he just made a last minute scheme doing what he thought was best failing to grasp that Belle would be very screwed for all the above reasons you give. Does not excuse what he did but it does make him very human.

8) I'm very torn. On the one hand the creators are former LOST writers so death for Belle could easily be in the cards. On the other, Belle is a big appeal for certain fans and it's hard to gauge if fans will leave if she dies and how many will leave if that happens. The writers might not want to kill her off too early because of that.

9) I actually really liked seeing Belle's story move so fast. There's only so much you can do with the BadGuy/GoodWoman reunited after a long time apart storyline. Especially when Belle has no other close contacts beyond her dad. I look forward to the Red/Belle friendship developing and how Belle starts fitting into Storybrooke.

10) I did not know that actually so there was no worry about how Rumpel would be handled. Overall, I did like the story. Would have loved more Milah but I loved the peeks into her life/relationship with Rumpel, so I was very pleased.

11) Do not talk to me about how much I want his kitchen. Or his bedroom. On the other hand, it says alot about how Belle views Rumpel if she thinks leaving through the window is the best plan rather than talking out about leaving or just leaving through the front door without alerting him.

12) I really prefer this method of storytelling by the writers to be honest. The plot is moving at a great pace and we also get insight into characters that were relegated to the background last season unless they had their "Lower Deck Episode". I know some people want The Charmings, Emma, and/or Regina all the time/every time but I want to get to know every character in the show beyond that one spotlight episode. Huge casts with interesting backstories are my catnip and I feel that last season, while good, did suffer from the writers trying to cram to much into the episodes that made them fall a little flat.

Long story short: I want them to keep this format for a long time.

13) Hook & Cora might get there with Snow & Emma (plus Aurora & Mulan) and that would mean even more fireworks then. I want to see all the chaos they do.
