Once Upon A Time: Golden Boy Fredrick

Once Upon A Time: Golden Boy Fredrick

This week’s episode was another Snow/Mary and David/Charming episode . . . but there were some good twists. Bascially we learned that Abigail/Katherine is not some evil bitch, but a victim herself.

Charming learned Abigail also had no desire to marry him just as he didn’t her, that she had met her true love, who was sadly turned to gold by Midas on accident. She tells him of a lake with magic water that can return something lost to you, but a creature guards it. Of course Charming plans to vanquish the creature are give her back her true love, thinking if he can’t have his . . . at least one can be happy. This is where things just got weird for me. The monster was a sexy woman, and they seem to be mixing Greek myths in here. The woman was a Greek Siren, and the name of the lake Nostos – is Greek for homecoming. Hmmmmm, I hope they aren’t already running out of fairytale ideas! In the end Charming succeeded, and he freed Fredrick for Abigail.

By the end Charming learned from Ruby that Snow didn’t ditch him, and if she never showed to meet him and stop his wedding, then something must have happened. At that moment his “Father” arrived with an army to kill Charming for betraying him and the kingdom . . .

In Storybrooke, Katherine has applied to law school in Boston, and told David. David is happy for her, but fails to tell her that he wants to leave her to be with Mary . . . which he let Mary believe he was going to do. He simply tells her she needs to start over without him. Of course Regina is all but happy to tell Katherine the truth, that David is having an affair with Mary Margaret. Katherine is devastated. She’s not only pissed at David and Mary, but Regina too. I don’t think Regina saw that coming, as when Katherine vowed to leave and find her own real true love (which she realizes David was not) . . . that was not what Regina wanted to hear. She wanted her to fight for David, so off to craft a spell she went! She burned some love letters between David and Mary Katherine’s goodbye letter to David . . .

Nobody can leave Storybrooke as we know, and Regina’s spell took care of Katherine. Her car crashed . . . but she’s not inside. She was of course found by Fredrick on this side of the mirror? He is a gym teacher and works with Mary. Unfortunately this looks very bad for both David and Mary. Before she left, Katherine let loose on Mary in the middle of school, and some mom’s overheard. Mary has been targeted as the town tramp, even having her car defaced. Yes, Katherine is missing and Mary and David have motive . . . I guess Regina found a way to keep true love apart. Mary is equally pissed at David for not being a man and telling Katherine the truth. Though one thing I guess I’m confused about, true loves kiss. They’ve already kissed, so shouldn’t that have broken the curse? Or is this curse too powerful for true love’s kiss?

Meanwhile, Emma and “The Writer” has another encounter, and we at least learned his name is August W. Booth. Later we learn that August made a copy, and exact copy of Henry’s book . . . and later left it to be found by Emma, who returned it to a thrilled Henry. However the writer has a copy too (or the original?). I’m thinking more and more he could be Rumple’s Son!

  1. I thought the writer was adding in new stories for Henry. I can’t wait to see what his MO is!!

  2. Was he? I thought he was just making a copy. If he’s adding in stories, then he definately is someone from Fairy Tale land and has his memory (something Regina won’t like)

  4. Also, gnostos (silent g) is greek for knowing, or acquaintance.

    You wrote that Regina burned some love letters between David and Mary, but I thought she was burning the explanation letter that Abigail/Katherine wrote to David to let him know she forgives him and wants him to move on. I wasn’t clear if Regina also burned the note Abigail/Katherine wrote to Mary explaining the same (I was multi-tasking while watching) but I assume so otherwise Mary Margaret would just show her letter to David.

    I can be forgiving about the writers using some greek mythology – it is somewhat fairytale-ish. I just wish the writers wouldn’t base so many of their fairytales on the Disney versions (right down to “Belle’s” yellow dress and blue/white dress). The original Brothers Grimm stories are much darker.

  6. The one letter I saw burned was the goodbye and blessing letter to David.

    It was Regina who spray painted Mary’s car. You can see the can of spray paint in her dest draw when she takes something out (the letter? I can’t remember).

  8. The letter she burned was Katherine’s good bye/ explanation letter to David. Regina broke in their house to steal it. But Mary is the one who didn’t want to be with David bc of the lying and cheating so wouldnt she still get Katherine’s letter with her blessing? I just saw Regina burn the letter to David not the one to Mary.

  9. Since Emma is the one prophesized to end the curse, I have a feeling she needs to have true love’s kiss, not David and Mary. OR everyone needs to have their kisses at the same time, like Rumple and Belle, etc.
