Looking forward to the eppy tonight

Thanks for opening the new thread. :)

Happy Episode Day! I really really hope that after all the anger is out of the way, Lily and Emma can be BFFs again, and Maleficent gets the chance to meet her daughter. But the way the show has tracked lately, that's not about to happen.

My reaction the revelation in the last moments of the show...

WOw...so do you think the apprentice got permission to tell Lily the truth? If not then would he not be guilty of influencing the state of things?

Maybe she is lying about the baby

Outlaw Queen is pretty much dead to me.

As a Regina fan first, I want better for her character than this contrived, soap opera BS. Of ALL the ways they could've caused drama for this couple, they've continued to use such contrived, soap opera style things that have managed to ruin them for me.

I think tonight's revelation was it for me. It was the first time in this show where for a moment I seriously contemplated not watching until this storyline is buried.

So, what....Zelena gets to stick around with Robin's kid? Is that how they're going to keep her around? If that's the case I'd rather Robin go with Zelena to offscreenville. Permanently.

I was wondering that too, the sorcerer made a point of telling him nothing could be done. also, wouldn’t the apprentice logically know that, with so much darkness in her heart, lily would naturally seek revenge??:confused::confused:

-still fuming about the ridiculous zelena/robin twist:mad: UGH! yes, maybe zelena is lying (hopefully!), but still it’s beyond twisted that selene lied about who she was to get robin to sleep with her, even though robin hasn’t loved her anymore anyway...

(the episode was honestly so great to me, besides the fact that I’m SO, SO angry about that final scene:mad::mad: )

-lOVED Rumbelle, Rumple doing something good for belle’s sake, captain swan’s all-too brief scene, and swan queen friendship was on point tonight....just that final scene:mad:

I cannot stand unnecessary soap opera drama as it is, but this was way too much for me.

Loved the episode. Loved Regina&Emma, loved Lily, loved Rumple outsmarting people again and not killing Will.

I could have done without the last 5 minutes though. Between Rumbelle and Outlaw queen I'm pretty much into pieces.

And I do hope Zelena's lying. For story-line and shipper reasons.

Okay ... so it's canon now that Belle did not consent to Regina taking her heart, which means that Belle's been without her heart for a while now. Presumably during her entire whatever-it-is with Will, since she let go of his hand to turn around and watch Rumple after her heart was restored. Will noticed it too, and he didn't even realize that Belle had been without her heart. Yet the way Belle looked at Rumple after he restored her heart spoke volumes. Really liked that scene.

Surprised that Emma was that gullible/naïve where Lily was concerned during the flashbacks, but maybe it was fated that way ... that she was supposed to end up alone so that she could meet Neal, have Henry, etc. And as Regina pointed out, it wasn't coincidence that the baby she adopted was the Savior's son.

I had thought a while back that Zelena's "return" might be carried over til next season. This seems to confirm that. But of course the writers could always pull a fast one.

I wonder if both Lily's and Rumple's fate of always making the wrong choice was an intentional parallel.

I don't think Zelena having Robin's baby is any reason we can't destroy her. But honestly the way they're creating drama is so :rolleyes: . I've basically thrown in the towel as far as attempting to support any relationship on this show. In fact I just got my hopes up for everything to be okay between Lily and her mom, between Lily and Emma. But already I fear that Mal and her daughter are more likely to die than even consider forgiving the Charmings. The show is called Once Upon a Time, and it looks like Happily Ever After is nowhere in sight.
