Spoilers Ahead If there’s one episode that’s been worth the awfully long three-month hiatus, New York City Serenade is definitely it. When we parted ways with our most favorite characters, everyone but Emma and Henry were sent back to the Enchanted Forest, and it was up to Captain Hook to jog Emma’s memories one year later. There were quite a few noteworthy, tear-jerker scenes in this episode that certainly set up the rest of the season gloriously. For starters, even though it was temporary, it was incredibly refreshing to see Emma Swan live a normal life where she got to

Once Upon A Time 3×11 “Going Home” Recap
Spoilers Ahead Once Upon A Time has rightfully set the bar insanely high for any fairytale adaptations. Surely we aren’t the only ones this mid-season finale caused copious amounts of pain too. Additionally, there were far too many exceptional scenes in this episode to pick favorites and leave things out, that being said, this is long, and a bit different from our usual recaps considering the fact that there was more than one flashback.

Spoilers Ahead Once upon a time being told that there’d be a new Neverland would sound magically beautiful to everyone, but now it’s frightening and unwanted. Flashback: This week’s flashback takes place moments after Regina threatens the Charmings on their wedding day. During their honeymoon, Snow convinces Charming to search for Medusa in order to cut off her head, and use it to turn Regina into stone. Their plan backfires because Charming looks Medusa in the eyes, and becomes a statue himself until a message from Regina influences Snow’s new plan where she shows Medusa her own reflection, and frees

Spoilers Ahead Just when you think the family tree cannot get any more complicated, it does. Flashback: As the curse is about to strike, Regina visits Rumpelstiltskin one last time and he reveals that the happiness she seeks to attain with the curse will eventually leave a void in her heart. As we learned back in Season 2, Regina not only felt lonely, but she got tired of not living the same day over and over again. Back in Storybrooke after Greg Mendell disappears, she requests Mr. Gold’s assistance in finding a child to adopt, and he suggests an adoption agency

Spoilers ahead: We’re genuinely unsure whether or not we could ever look at Peter Pan the same way again, who’s with us? Flashbacks: Viewers are at last given Rumple’s family backstory and it’s definitely worse than Cora’s/Regina’s. After Rumple’s father leaves him with two ladies and claims he’s gone off to get a job, they give him a magic bean in order for him to escape from the father who cares very little about him. Rumple finds him back at the pub gambling again and shows him the bean persuading him to run off with him to a place where

Spoilers ahead: “Couldn’t it be called Sunshine Valley or Rainbow Cove?” We’re right there with you, Emma. Neverland isn’t exactly as colorful as Disney made us believe. How nice was it to finally see what the other beloved characters were up to back in Storybrooke? Belle and Ariel save the day. John and Michael Darling have hope instilled in them. Wendy Darling is unfortunately still Pan’s prisoner. And Henry’s on Pan’s side again. Through Rumple’s cryptic instructions, Ariel’s optimism, and the unbreakable power of True Love, Belle finds what’s needed to defeat Pan in order to bring everyone back home safely.

Spoilers Ahead Flashbacks: The episode opens up with bandit Snow running from the Evil Queen, you know usual stuff, but she’s rescued by a brave little mermaid we all know and love as Ariel (JoAnna Garcia). According to Ariel, legend says that during the highest tide, sea goddess Ursula grants mermen and mermaids the ability to walk on land. Snow White and Ariel go to Prince Eric’s ball where Eric reveals that he’s seen her (Ariel) as his true love.

Spoilers ahead: This episode opens up with the lost boys capturing Neal and ends with him being hung with someone else captured. Who do you guys think it’ll be? It doesn’t seem like it’ll be Rumple because who can capture him? Do you think it’s a character we haven’t met yet, a little mermaid perhaps? In flashbacks, we meet young Lieutenant Killian Jones, and his brother Captain Liam Jones as they set sail to Neverland to bring back a plant that they’re told is the cure to all things terrible. But in reality, it’s Dream Shade they’re after. Pan warns

Spoilers Ahead We have the “Operation Henry” group discussing their plan with Tinkerbell – a plan which they clearly hadn’t thought threw because there was no exit plan. This leads them to Bae’s “home” in Neverland where they find a map he created, a map only he can read. Meanwhile, father and son reunite in a truly heartbreaking scene as Neal cannot believe Rumple’s intentions are honorable. They sure seemed honorable to us as he told Neal he was his happy ending. This is our take on the whole undoing thing: Henry won’t be Rumple’s undoing as a man but

Spoilers Ahead Tinkerbell not only met all expectations we’ve had but without a doubt exceeded them. I remember crying during the cartoon when no one believed in her, and I’m not going to lie, I held back tears as Blue lost faith in her. What a scene. Pixie Dust never lies, does it? That being said, Robin Hood and Regina were meant to be soul mates. Surely though, that flashback wasn’t the end of Hood Queen. What’s to come in the future definitely looks promising of greatness. Speaking of Regina, it’s always good to see her heart and not literally, as we

Spoilers Ahead For starters, we’d like to congratulate everyone in this fandom: you’ve survived yet another bloody brilliant episode. Give yourselves a pat on the back. As always, Once Upon A Time has arose countless questions and brought on screen magnificence: What do you all think of Rumplestiltskin ripping out his own shadow? Does this mean that a person could willingly do so and not die as opposed to Pan or the lost boys doing it? Furthermore, this episode did a great job of illuminating the lost children and Rumple is definitely one as well. His father abandoned him, it’s that simple. How
