Once Upon A Time 4×04 “The Apprentice” Recap
Spoilers Ahead For an episode that reminded us of the emotional roller coasters Once Upon A Time is able to take us through, the Disney gems throughout the episode were exceptional additions — starting from the couple reenacting Lady and the Tramp to Mickey Mouse being the Apprentice, and the broom from Fantasia guiding Rumple and Hook to their destination. Enchanted Forest Flashbacks: Determined to learn the truth about why her parents voyaged to the Enchanted Forest, Anna makes a deal with Rumple unlike any of the ones he’s made before. In order for him to uncover the power inside the box which holds the Sorcerer’s

Spoilers Ahead While last week’s episode was an excellent reminder that we should strive to live and not just survive, this week’s reminded us that it’s okay to stumble and fall. Arendelle Flashbacks: Hans (Tyler Jacob Moore) of the Southern Isles comes up with a plan to trap Elsa in an urn in order to rule Arendelle as King, but what he doesn’t know is that someone’s already in the urn — The Snow Queen (Elizabeth Mitchell). Kristoff and Elsa decide to take matters into their own hands where they decide they’ll go to Hans themselves in order to stop him

Spoilers Ahead This week’s episode fortified and built strong relationships while once again reminding us how vital it is to fight for the things we want most without ever giving up. Enchanted Forest Flashbacks: Kristoff had given Anna, Charming’s name as the one person he’s known in the Enchanted Forest and Anna ends up playing a vital role in his life. When Bo Peep (Robin Weigert) comes to collect her debt, Anna inspires Charming to actually fight for what’s rightfully theirs. Not exactly as sweet and friendly as the one in Toy Story is she? However, it’s not until after

Spoilers Ahead At some point audiences may get tired of hearing things like “Storybrooke has frozen over,” but enormous Disney nerds like us will doubtlessly get chills from excitement every time. With such a strong premiere, the rest of the season will change things like no other. Yes, it’s only been an episode, but with our expectations being exceeded so far, we’re not too sure how much more perfection we can handle as the rest of the season progresses. Arendelle Flashbacks: Before the King and Queen of Arendelle die due to their ship sinking on their voyage to the Enchanted Forest, they

Spoilers Ahead People of all ages, this two-part season finale should serve as an example of how perfection should be brought to life on screen. Continuing from where we left off last week, Rumple enacts Zelena’s curse and sends Killian and Emma back to the Enchanted forest moments before Snow and Charming are about to meet for the first time. They alter the instant Snow is supposed to steal the ring, and in an attempt to make sure the two still fall in love, Killian and Emma visit Rumplestilskin in order to ask for his help. He only agrees to

Spoilers Ahead There’s nothing quite as enjoyable as our favorite charismatic swashbuckler and darling little mermaid teaming up to find lost love, even if things weren’t as they seem, the chemistry between Colin O’Donoghue and JoAnna Garcia-Swisher was outstanding. An episode gorgeously framed around the idea of love grounding the heart at home, they both authenticated the notion that it’s physically, spiritually, and emotionally impossible to be happy when separated from those they care most for. It also makes it harder for people to be the best versions of themselves. Enchanted Forest Flashbacks: Mr. Smee and the rest of the

Spoilers Ahead The episode opens up in the most beautifully enchanting way as Charming dreams of teaching Emma how to dance for her first ball. While dancing, the two shared a conversation both undoubtedly always wanted, and though it was Charming’s dream, as an audience we know it’s something Emma would’ve perpetually treasured as well. Their gorgeous scene is cut short when Emma’s taken by the wardrobe once again, thus illuminating the fact that Charming’s afraid of not being a good enough father. That little moment where Emma called Charming daddy while being pulled away broke hearts everywhere, as this

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.

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
