Certainly not getting any easier... I'm thinking #8, only because Henry wasn't really involved in that one after Robin came into Granny's. The Regal Believer moments before that were super precious, though. But yeah, from a Hood-Mills perspective it's #8 for me this time around.

#7 - 2
#8 - 1

I'm voting for #8 again so I guess we are tied at the moment.

#7 again. But this is difficult!

Although I do like that scene a lot more after 4B... When I first watched the episode, I thought poor Marian, but now that I know it was Zelena all along...

Go Roland!

That's definitely one of my favorite aspects of that scene now, too.

Knowing Zelena's temper, I'm almost surprised she managed to keep up the facade.

Speaking of Zelena's temper, one of the things I found difficult to accept about the time in NY was that we were expected to believe that she was able to pretend to be a nice, normal person for 9 weeks. As fas ar we know Robin wasn't working, so they probably spent most of their time together and they had a child and children are wonderful, but they can test the patience of even the calmest parent at times. It's difficult for me to imagine that the crazy never showed it's face in all that time.

MTE. Also, I know Robin had that line that he felt like things weren't right or something like that, but it would be nearly impossible even for a normal person to impersonate someone's wife they never met before, let alone for someone as crazy as Zelena. I could buy it during 4A because she was frozen 90% of the time so nobody could suspect anything, but for 9 weeks in NY? No way.

Obviously A&E just didn't think about that, but in-canon explanation could be that Robin and Marilena only talked about weather and what's for dinner and Robin was in denial and in shock because of everything that happened to him in the last few weeks.

Wow, so difficult!! I really want to vote 8 but then we'll be stuck with a tie, so I guess I'll say 7.

Totally agree about how on earth Zelena kept up the pretense for 9 weeks. What I find most unbelievable is how she could even a little impersonate being a mother. Never got the least impression she had any affinity for kids or any experience with kids, and you just can't fake that, kids will spot you a mile away, lol.

The problem's really that the writers tried to squeeze 95% of the story into one episode, 4x17. The second half of season 4 had a lot going on, but it would have helped if we'd seen a bit more of Robin and Roland's life in New York with Zelena-as-Marian. I definitely think a part of Robin was in denial, but we still saw way too little of his POV and nothing of Roland's. Since it looks like Zelena's not going anywhere, maybe there's still a chance they'll address NYC some more in conversation next season, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

#7 - 4
#8 - 2
