Once: The Snow Queen

Emma is starting to feel a little unloved again. Mary Margret is going to a mommy and me class with Neal, and Emma is feeling a little saddened by the fact that her childhood is much different than her brothers will be. Also why was Cinderella's baby now a boy? Also why is it still a baby? She had a daughter in season 1, and we see her again and she had a boy. Aurora had her son named Philip, and he is quite cute. Rumple has his final piece of the puzzle for making him unstoppable thanks to the Snow Queen. Speaking of the Snow Queen we got her emotional back story in this episode, and it was quite messed up.

First off I got to mention how cute it is seeing Henry in a suit just like his Grandpa working in his shop. Henry is just trying to get some info on how to find the author of the book to help Regina get a happy ending, but Rumple is not putting any magic around the boy what so ever. He is just sweeping the shop, and polishing furniture. That was a cute little fluffy bit to this episode.

Emma is having some magic control issues, and she is starting to feel really unloved. That is what the Snow Queen wants because she wants Emma to become part of her family with Elsa. I'm pretty sure the Snow Queen is making all this happen on purpose so that she can get what she wants. Emma for the first time sees fear in her loved ones eyes when they looked at her. When she was going to take Neal from her mother's arms she pulled away, and it was sad I felt bad for Emma. Then when she brought that light post down and hit David, the way her mother said her name was kind of heartbreaking. Emma then ran away because she didn't want to hurt anyone else, and because she felt like nobody could love her like this.

Regina and Robin kiss in this episode and it was freaking amazing! Robin runs into Will Scarlet in Granny's and they have a chat. Robin goes on about Marian, and Will tells him that he should do what his heart is telling him. To stop living by his code of honor and go after what he really, really wants. He goes to Regina and tells her that he has lived by this code and then tells her that today is not of those days to live by the code, and kisses her. It was such a good looking kiss, and it made me smile because I am a huge supporter of Outlaw Queen, and I want them together forever.

The Snow Queen is responsible for the death of her sister Helga, and Gerda the youngest sister is the one who put Ingrid in the urn in the first place. They had made a pact when they were girls that they would always be there to protect one another, and they wore a yellow ribbon on their wrists. Only as they got older Ingrid didn't want the world to see her because of her powers. We got to see the Duke of Wessleton, or Weaseltown as it is referred as. The Duke showed interest in Helga and does his weird dance with her at the ball. Ingrid needs to control her powers so of course they go to Rumplestiltskin for help. He tells them they the sisterly love they have can be helpful because it is a form of true love between sisters, but Ingrid wants her powers gone, she doesn't wan to learn how to use them properly. The price for the urn and magical gloves that will conceal her powers is the three ribbons on their wrists. The sisters don't want to give up their ribbons but Ingrid makes the choice to give them up for Rumples assistance. So then she is staring at the gloves when the Duke comes around and starts hitting on her. It was weird and she pushed him off of her but she used magic because she was panicking. She tells him that he can't tell anybody about it, and that is when Helga comes around. The Duke tells her that Ingrid tried to kiss him and Helga kicks him to the curb because she knows her sister and trusts her beyond all else. Only when Ingrid tries to use her magic on the Duke he hides behind Helga and the ice hits her heart. She freezes, turns to eyes, and breaks into pieces. Gerda comes and calls Ingrid a monster and fears her sister and puts her in the urn. It was quite sad and then Gerda goes to the rock trolls and has Grand Pabbie erase all history of the two sisters.

Rumple had the ribbons in Storybrooke so the Snow Queen goes and makes a deal. She tells him what he needs to do in order to complete his plan, and he seems very pleased with the information given to him. Rumple wants all this power so that he can leave town without losing his power and control basically anything he wants. All the Snow Queen wants is Storybrooke and he agrees, so the deal was struck.

Next week is a two hour special and I cannot wait because Emma and Rumple have quite a few scenes together. She wants her magic gone and he helps her do it. It looks really freaking amazing and I cannot wait to see more and more of this story unfold.

Thank you for reading, and remember; Keep Dreaming and Scheming!
