Emma has a flashback to stealing the VW, aka Lovebug which we don't know about yet. When she gets in she meets a man in the back. After being stopped by the police she realizes she's just stolen a stolen car. They start stealing together, a Bonnie and Clyde life and get close to each other. He shows her a wanted poster with his face and name, Neal Cassidy (Michael Raymond-James). He stole some expensive watches and hid them in a locker. That's their plan to head to Tallahassee foiled. She thinks they can go anywhere if she gets the watches and they sell them off. Neal decides to sell them and meet her later. Whilst he leaves he's followed by someone who he thinks is the police. Turns out to be August (Eoin Bailey).
August tells him how he was put in charge of looking after Emma, she has a destiny to fulfil and won't be able to do so if he stays with her. Asking him if he believes in magic? Then shows him something. So what was that then, can't be his typewriter since Neal changes his mind so quickly and agrees to leave Emma alone but gives August money for her and the keys to the car. He changed the VIN number. Emma is arrested with the stolen watch Neal gave her and is jailed. Someone sends her the car keys so she'll have a car and a baby when she gets out. We have to ask if he was Bae. Also he's the same man in the opening episode who was sent the postcard. Which was sent by August as he said he would.
They manage to send the giant (Jorge Garcia) to sleep and search for the compass. Emma saves Hook from a tripwire and Hook thinks she's making a move on him, saying she shouldn't stand on ceremony next time.
Emma: "Don't think I'm taking my eyes off you for a second."
Hook: "I would despair if you did."
The giant wakes and comes after them with Hook getting trapped under the ceiling that falls on him. That's right Hook, stand around and watch it fall. He grabs her and she wants to go cos she didn't kill his family. Then makes a run for Jack the Giantkiller's sword. Well he was a bit useless. Emma threatens him with the sword after he falls under his tripwire trap, it's poisoned. He says humans killed them all and Emma can believe that he may be telling the truth.
The giant gives her the compass cos she didn't kill him and lets her go. She asks for another favour to keep Hook her for another 10 hours. As she handcuffs him, so much for trusting him when she shook his hand. Would he have doublecrossed them? She also sees his 'Milah' tattoo on his arm (hah just for me!) and realizes Gold/Rumples was behind Hook losing his love and not just his hand. But why have Hook chase after the most mixed up, emotionally redundant woman out of all of the ones he could have. Emma doesn't love, forgive, listen or do much of anything else easily, except act hastily, one reason why I haven't warmed to her character.
Snow gets Aurora to sleep by saying she'll watch over her just as Charming (Josh Dallas) used to light a candle whenever she'd have a bad dream. Aurora has a dream about being in a red room with red curtains and surrounded by fire. The same dream Henry (Jared S Gilmore) has in Storybrooke, as Charming lights a candle for him. So is this dream about Cora or Red?
Emma asking if they should settle down in "Neverland?" No coincidence that. August referring to himself as Emma's "guardian angel." As for the little snippets you have have missed, the Apollo chocolate bars were from Lost, as was the giant. The dreamcatcher Emma finds in the motelroom was also the one Neal had in his apartment in the first ep Broken. The envelope with the keys was sent from Phuket, that's where August said he'd been in The Stranger from season 1.
Were my eyes deceiving me or did Hook's eyeliner appear to have lessened since our first meeting with him?! Also Hook taking one of Rumple's phrases: "Tick tock!"
