Ohhhh, I LOVE ship narratives; wish their journey had lasted longer. There's something about being on a ship - you're stuck in the middle of the ocean with whoever you're with, there's no escape, and you become close whether you want to be or not, plus tensions are always high. It's awesome! And in this particular scenario, the characters weathered a storm together. So much fun! I LOVE ships!

I had a few issues with certain bits of dialogue here and there, but overall I really loved this episode. I like that Emma's really shaping up to be a leader - if the endgame is for her to live in the Enchanted Forest, I can really see her as a military leader. Boots on the ground type character.

I'm so happy this show is back in my life, tbh.
