Once Upon A Time: The Evil Queen Thoughts . . . .

So tonight answered a major past question, and of course set up the two-part Pan-centric season finale.

Hook returned, trying to team up with Regina. He claimed Greg and Tamara brought him here and tried to convince him to join them and double-cross her, but he is loyal first to her and Cora. He was saddened to hear of Cora’s passing . . . but still would work with Regina if it meant the Crocodile’s destruction. Regina had a plan to destroy Storybook and return home with Henry, everyone else would die, including Gold.

Regina previously overheard Charming and Snow plotting to return home and leave Regina behind. Snow once again was wavering, but Charming made her realize she just can’t be trusted. Regina tested Henry by revealing their plan, and hers. He was disgusted, so she erased his memory. Then there was a whole long back story involving Snow saving a magically disguised Regina, how Regina actually thought Snow might be able to forgive her, but that all fizzled because well Regina is just evil. For a quick second it of course made us all feel for Regina . . . and once again wonder if Snow will ever use one of the 8 million chances handed to her to kill Regina. She realized Regina’s true identity and could shot her dead, but didn’t. I guess it’s supposed to show us how pure of heart she is . . . but we just watched her kill the Queen’s soldiers to save the “innocent” who was really Regina . . . so come on !?!?!

Emma began to realize Tamara might be up to no good and could be who August tried to warn them of. Henry was all in on a new “Operation Cobra,” but it was clear he was also hoping his parents would get back together with Tamara out of the way. No matter how many times Emma said it wouldn’t happen, he held out hope. Oh and Emma’s “superpower” was finally addressed. It seems her ability to detect liars doesn’t work so well when she gets emotional. Emma tried to prove Tamara was up to no good, but couldn’t get the goods on her.

Meanwhile Regina needed Hook’s help to get something hidden deep beneath Storybrooke that was needed for her plan. However what she needed Hook for was to distract the creature her old friend Maleficent had now become. Now we know, she’s still alive! However she’s neither human nor dragon, something in between. My guess is the actress is busy on “True Blood” so this was the best they could do. Regina got something from Snow’s old glass coffin and returned home.

Upon returning home she was shocked to see Hook! It seems he was on team Tamara and Greg all along. They also have a way to block magic, which allowed them to take Regina hostage. Meanwhile Snow, Grumpy and Charming found someone had destroyed their bean field!

The previews show Greg and Tamara apparently planning to destroy Regina, and somehow destroy all of Storybrook in the process? Tamara says all magic is evil and must be destroyed. Hmmm, that will make finding Greg’s daddy difficult no? Also we see a young Bae fall through the wormhole and as everyone believed, apparently become Peter Pan? This wasn’t clear, as we saw him talking to Wendy who seems to be the one to know of Neverland and leading him there. Are they flipping the script and basically making Wendy Pan? And Bae the Wendy part?

  1. I’m getting tired of the backstory on Regina and Snow. We get it – Regina evil, Snow good. The writers keep throwing in “the possible redemption of Regina” every few episodes. Come on – move the story forward. Maybe they are trying to make the point that Snow’s weakness is her inability to kill (kill important characters anyway, not the red shirts). Maybe now that she had a hand in killing Cora she can get around to bumping off Regina. Sure, Henry may never forgive her, but with great responsibility comes great sacrifice. Speaking of responsibilities, Charming, get off your butt and do something other than farm. You’ve killed before to save Snow, so get on it!

    I didn’t mind Greg too much in this episode. I liked that he refused to tell Regina his plans. Alleluia! Someone has a brain (except with regards to his dad. I don’t think Tamara is at all interested in helping you with that one Greg). Personally I think T and G should drive Regina outside the town border and let her lose her memory.

    I am curious as to why Rumple continued to help Regina in Fairytale land. Just for kicks? I guess it was like watching a soap opera to him since she couldn’t hurt him.

    Rant over.
