Or perhaps if the shoe fits...think of the wonders and possibilities out there. With this one we get to see that Cinderella/Ashley (Jessy Schram) had a dark side too. Did anyone call her a snitch when she revealed where her sister, Clorinda (Mckenna Melvin) was just to save herself! Though again her story was quite frankly, boring too and Prince Thomas (Tim Phillipps) came across as this too. What even more tedious than Charming I hear you say! So maybe they were suited to each other after all. Dare I say it Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) had more, er, charm than these two. Maybe sweeping up the cinders everyday got to her, you know like fumes to her head! Cos she actually tells her stepmother, Lady Tremaine (Lisa Banes) that she wants to go to the ball and even has a dress for the occasion, belonging to her mother. Quick burn that so she'll have more cinders and ash to sweep up, but alas she pulls it out. Clorinda goes to the ball but it's to see the footman rather than marry the prince. Here's a twist on the Disney version. Emma (Jennifer Morrison) et al have to find Ashley after she vanishes thinking she's out to get revenge on Clorinda, leaving the Prince holding the baby this time, instead of the glass slipper. Which was smashed to pieces by her stepmother and promptly reblown by the Prince's glass workers. Leaving Emma to follow her tennis shoe instead.
Reggie (Lana Parilla) comes up with a plan to get to Hyde (Sam Witwer) for info through his stomach which backfires when she finds her evil other half has already beaten her to this and he doesn't want another lasagna! Even if it's her recipe. They still need Jekyll (Hank Harris) to find a serum for them to use on Hyde and he joins forces with none other than Dr Frankenstein/Dr Whale (David Anders) and his lab. Snow and her comment on getting these two at school! ha. Not quite teaching material. Emma's visions seem to have desisted and she speaks with Archie (Raphael Sbarge) about her fears. Doubt he'll be any good at dispensing any help since he later gets taken by the Queen and Zelena (Rebecca Mader) makes him look after Robin. Cos she's not babysitting him either. Also leading to the Queen imitating him later and revealing Emma's secret about her tremours and future, disguised as him.
Charming begins to piece together his father's death and thinks it was murder by cart, rather than him leaving them and having an accident. Snow wants him to stop chasing this and he agrees to burn the note and listen to her, only he keeps it. See another secret. Ashley reveals she's not going to kill her sister but wants forgiveness. You see she had a key which belonged to her mother, which led to a portal to another land. Exactly what Belle needed. As Emma finds her hiding out in the barn, their mother isn't far behind and wants to end the footman's life, in a scene reminiscent of Regina and her mother along with the stablehand, Daniel. But she's saved by Emma leaving their stepmother to do some community service! ha. Clorinda not being sorry for wanting to spite her mother and run off with a lowly footman. Her mother saying she didn't toil over her just to get this outcome, again just like Regina's mother.
Rumple's (Robert Carlyle) uses Charming to take a gift to her in exchange for information on his father and maybe this might have something to do with the cloaked figure who kills Emma, or maybe not. Either way he sends a message for Belle (Emilie de Ravin) which involves fairies and stars. Or was she meant to listen to it so that his son hears it too. Who knows with these two. If it couldn't get any worse with this rallying of love meets unrequited love or deuce! And the devil take this storyline please! Seemed a bit of a pointless episode, wasn't really interested in Cinderella as it was just a rehash of sorts of Regina and her mother.
