Rumples (Robert Carlyle) attempts to use the hat when the stars align thereby harnessing all the power under the stars! Well, no as he and Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) who still ain't got his heart back, poor luv! has to still be his pawn. Anyway when the stars do align he'll be able to leave Storybrooke and head to New York with Belle (Emilie De Ravin) though why they haven't heard of any other places is beyond me. I mean why not Tallahassee?
Back at his castle, Rumple's managed to get his hands on a gauntlet which was going to come back to bite him in Storybrooke. You think if he knew, he'd not have bothered keeping it. Where we get our first meeting of his with Cruella (Victoria Smurfit) Maleficent (Kristen Bauer) and Ursula (Merrin Dungey) as they kidnap Belle for the gauntlet. Only he rescues her and gets it back too. Why all the ruses at times, they seem pointless.
Regina (Lana Parilla) and Robin (Sean Maguire) manage to put Marian's (Christie Laing) heart back in her and unthaw her, well unfreeze is the right word, although neither one of them had their hearts in it)!) Even had Marian willing to give Robin up for Regina but she in all her newfound goodness didn't want to come between them. (Jumping forward, she should've just taken him considering the storyline with Marian.)
Meanwhile Hook and Rumples were street sweeping, following the broom to the mansion once again, where they were led to the portal to Arrendelle. Storybrooke is full of portals to other fairy lands but not-a-one to New York?!! Henry (Jared Gilmore) gets to work at the pawn shop, which didn't last long, as Belle was packing a suitcase and was in need of another one, I mean she didn't know she could get those and clothe aplenty in New York. Well fashion isn't really Belle's strong suit. As they scour for more cases, Henry chances upon the gauntlet, leading Belle to a flashback.
She ended up doing washing for Rumples, who appeared to have swiped someones clothes too, cos he certainly doesn't wear them (see New York's a calling for new clothes!) She sees a puppy and then ends up tied up near a cliff. Then Rumples gets a coin which turns out to have Princess Leia, er Belle where the gauntlet is demanded in return for her. Thus leading us to meet the toothsome threesome, which sounds much better.
Hook tells Emma (Jennifer Morrison) about the portal to Arrendale, but it's Rumples talking for him, Emma sensing something was wrong with him, yeah especially since it took so long for him to utter his trademark "luv." Seems these characters take a leaf out of each other's acts, like Regina manipulating Belle, then talking through Snow (Gennifer Goodwin). Wonder if Hook still had the freewill to kiss Emma, or was that Rumples, ha.
It was more like a stab in the back rather than through the heart. Even if that's exactly what Regina accomplished for herself after letting Robin go after they'd done the full on dirty a few times. Robin decides he wants to be with Regina and shows her their page from the book together and their happy ending. Cue Marian keeling over (and again jumping forward, nothing but a convenient faint no doubt on her part, to tear them apart. The only option being Marian had to leave Storybrooke and Robin recalling his code had to go with her too. They can leave but can't return, but do still have their memories intact. As I said, convenient for future plot purposes.
Gold gets into Regina's car where they share a conversation about happy endings, what else, as he tells her he's leaving and going to find his happy ending. As Elsa (Georgina Haig) and Kristoff (Scott Michael Foster) head through the door to Arrendelle, Ana (Elizabeth Lail) recalls Rumple's meeting with her and how he lies, seeing as he was also the one who found the door. Trying to get Ana back before she blabbed about his plans. A the clocktower he still plans to go ahead whilst waiting for the stars still to align, as he also plans to crush Hook's heart once and for all, but was taking his sweet time over it. Now let's not be shedding Crocodile tears, as Emma arrives in the nick of time, but he freezes her to stop her using her magic. This means his magic is more powerful than hers, well he's been using it for years. They do seem to have some sort of a link since in season 1 he had a hand in wanting Emma to be born. Only it was Belle who saved the day with the dagger, commanding him to give Hook's heart back.
Thus she realized the gauntlet was never traded for her, he would never lose his power or give it up for her and so he loves his power more than her. Making him cross the Storybrooke line, well he got his wish, only not with Belle. Who finally comes to terms that she can't have a happy ending with a villain either and goes in search of Will. Probably why he frequented the library a lot. Well it wasn't for the books! ha.
Elsa and Ana arrive home and prepare for her wedding, with the smell of chocolate in the air. Will this be the last we see of them, well if Zelena (Rebecca Mader) can return... Emma puts Hook's heart back and decides she must find Regina instead. Henry finding a secret door in the mansion, why was he still there and blank storybooks, which means this must be where the Author is. Why have an emergency supply of storybooks when they just magically seemed to appear in the one book anyway. Emma agreeing she wants in on Operation Mongoose. Rumples finds his way to New York where he meets Ursula, in an aquarium of all places. They might have taken her out of the sea but they didn't get the sea out of her. Where they plan some more evil.
