Last night ’s Once Upon A Time was exceptionally frustrating . I never think I would say this but , NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU , DOCTOR FRANKENSTEIN , GO aside . So much good was just thrown out — but at least we bonk where Regina has been keeping all of her mythic dresses . So there ’s that .
Spoilers before …
Last night , the audience was handle to a very unneeded fairytale flashback about Victor Frankenstein . This story was so completely and utterly worthless . In this flashback , we instruct that the fiend is actually his brother and his father is some sorting of overly affective sketch incubus . At one full stop in the real world , Victor loses his nerve and seek to commit suicide , because this show is an minute long and there is SPACE TO FILL . Did I care the ogre - to - monster talk between Victor and Red the werewolf ? Sure . That was coolheaded . But overall , it was wasted . Dr. Whale ( Victor ) was a lot more fun when he was diddling Snow White . Can we have that hombre back ? Because this ego - witting town Dr. sucks .
All of this play was wrapped around another plot pin : Preston Meyers ’ railway car clangoring and Cora ’s new plans . You see , Ethan Embry crashed into town . And the villager of Storybrooke , a place where being a slut is a criminal offense worthy of banishment , want to have him die , because they ’re all scared their magic secrets will attract scientist who will take apart them like the mermaid in Splash or the alien in ET . You know matter THAT HAPPEN IN MOVIES . Truly , Storybrooke is satiate with the absolute safe kind of people . Everyone is afraid of this unconscious character advert Greg . Greg , who has someone in his phone as “ her . ” Greg , who take picture of his solid food . Greg , who has the Star Wars theme as a doughnut for his phone ( Disney ’s flexing its just - bought - LucasFilm muscles now ) .
And speaking of that Star Wars ringtone , just how long until Luke Skywalker shows up on Once Upon a Time ? Henry made a huge great deal guide out that Doctor Frankenstein is NOT from the Enchanted Forest , so who hump what other fantasy character will show up ? With the elbow room this show throws plots like spaghetti against the wall , hoping one will nonplus , I really would n’t be that shocked to see Accountant Darth Vader show up sometime soon . It would make just as much sense as Gus the mouse .
The one matter the episode did have cash in one’s chips for it was the return of urinate off Rumpelstiltskin . With Belle ’s memory pass over , the poor crocodile tries to true - love’s - buss her brain back , and is only met with dreadful results . Eventually , Belle flips out and smashes their beloved Chip the cup . Aw , does that signify that Chip the reference is dead too ? I felt for Rumple — but at least Belle ’s brain reverting allowed mean Rumple to come back and peril to kill everyone if Emma did n’t guide him into the real world , in hope of find his boy . Awesome — eventually some activeness . And as I ’ve enjoin before , this show is at its effective when it forces fairy tale characters to treat with the actual world . More of this please .
Meanwhile Captain Hook proceed his job of only speaking in sex innuendos .
And Regina reveals that she has a fabulous closet full of her previous dresses . unhappily all the hard oeuvre Regina did this time of year is quickly redden down the toilet when Cora depict up . The female parent and daughter are reunited because Cora knows how to make Henry fuck her again , and Regina consider her , because her mammy is superstar with that love stuff and nonsense .
finally , the villainous Greg who withdraw selfies along the seacoast of Maine wakes up and pretends not to have seen any of that wizardly stuff that make him to bust up his car . This was a lie , and now “ her ” know about the magical world of Storybrooke as well . Whoever “ her ” is . Sigh . I ’ll include I express mirth out loud when Emma block everyone in Stroybrooke from interrogating him in his infirmary bed , reminding them all to act “ normal . ” But then Emma herself move to walk around Greg ’s elbow room like a bozo with little booties on . Oh good .
give thanks goodness , the Rumple and Emma route trip sounds amazing . lease ’s just put a cork in all this other hokum and pore on Emma and Bae , the reunion . I ’m still hop that Bae is Emma ’s smoke raging previous beau Neal Cassidy . Who could also be Peter Pan . I have so much riding on this character reveal , I ’m neural .
In the end , this instalment was just kind of frippery to fill in the parts between Rumple ’s return to the dark side . I ’m happy to have him back , even if that did mean kissing Cora , which — YIKES , that was uncomfortable . Here ’s hoping Regina ’s team up with Cora is all an act .
Best line of the Nox : “ Emma and Henry and the two idiots . ”
