Hook is so slippery as a character. Given that Rumple and Regina are moderating themselves it is nice to just have a villain that cannot be predicted episode to episode.

I don't think the Swan Hook ship really is battered. Hook is playing all sides like our good old Rumble used to.

I loved the Regina and Rumple dialogue as well. And Regina and Henry...

Charming and Snow in the dream room was great angst. Also enjoyed the flip in roles between Emma and Snow afterwards. Emma is SO strong when she need to be.

A little tired of Mulans infinite knowledge of everything and her bag of always useful stuff. While it was good to see her crack a bit I think she needs a bit more development or she starts to become a bit too flat as a character.

Agreed on all counts. :)

This episode made me gasp a couple times... as Hook was double-crossing the double-crossed AND when it was clear that he'd taken Aurora's heart. :o

I still think this is going to lead to a triple-cross. Meaning in flashback we'll see he and Aurora worked together on this and we'll all realize Aurora is a lot more than most are giving her credit for.

Of course what might be crazier is if the triple-cross becomes a quadruple cross (i.e., working with someone outside this dimension - particularly if Cora is Red Queen, then someone like JEfferson).

I believe it to be possible... if anything because the pedigree of writers is pretty high on this show. *Crosses fingers*
