Victoria (Gabrielle Anwar) decides she'll raise the rent in her continuing spate of bombarding Jacinda (Dania Ramiriz) with everything she can throw at her. Really that's the sort of example she's setting her granddaughter and yet she feigns to care. So Sabine (Mekia Cox) gets the idea of making her Beignets and selling them cos everyone loves them. Thus she convinces Jacinda to let her make them at the chicken shop, eeww salmonella!! Ha. But they were all burnt and as sis pointed out, I wouldn't even buy them in that condition!! Even Victoria enjoys a burnt offering and schemes to get the business gone by hiring someone to set fire to it. Obviously it wouldn't be an accident and especially not with the fire engine teaser in the credits at the beginning. As Hook Rogers (well I like that name so I'm sticking with it) tells Sabine at the end when she brings the station Beignets too (yeah cops and Beignets!) that it wasn't an accident and we know who'd gain by doing this.
Jacinda wants her gone from their apartment cos she's angry after the shop burns down, when is she not, but later changes her mind cos she's always there for her when she needs someone. Henry (Andrew J West) thinks it's a good idea to get Ivy (Adelaide Kane) on side but Ronnie (Lana Parilla) warns him against it cos she can't be trusted like Victoria and Ronnie is always right, well she's not really Reggie for nothing. She later deletes texts from his phone when Ivy tells him she's got info for him. Ronnie also telling him he should steer clear of her romantically and she saw the way Ivy looked at him. Since there's a perfectly good single mother out there whom he should ask out for a date. Erm, tried that last ep, almost. Ronnie follows up on the lead herself and Ivy takes her to the room via the elevator where she finds two cups of 'smelly feet' tea and wonders why have tea here. Then Ronnie finds the bait that was put there for her in the locker. Later she shows Henry a photo of her and a boy, but she's never been there and she doesn't know who the boy is. Henry recognizes him as himself.
Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) brings over some boxes to store at the bar with Ronnie as personal bodyguard to watch over them and mentions a black book he carries around with poetry and the like which he reads when he's feeling down. He has pics of tats inside and he comes across a man who has a tat of a ship's wheel on his wrist. He asks about a girl who vanished but he has an alibi. He is in league with Victoria of course and tells her about Hook. Ivy later reveals herself to the witch (Emma Booth) and it seems they are both in league against Victoria as she recalls she's actually Drizilla. Making the witch hide when Ronnie was here. You see mommie dearest doesn't like Drizilla and Anastasia was her favourite as she tells her "not all daughters are equal."
This ep however was about Tiana and how after her father died, there wasn't much they could do for their kingdom, short of Tiana marrying a prince. So she goes in search for one, looking for a fortune teller. Drizilla was there of course looking for some wares to buy from their sale and eyes Tiana's father's medal. The ruby is meant to be magical. Tiana doesn't know how it got there but it shouldn't be for sale. Funny how Drizilla just happened to be there. She finds the fortune teller who tells her she'll meet a prince and as she heads to the tavern, she's rescued by one Prince Marius (Kevin Ryan) at least he appears to be one. As they watch the fireflies he tries to steal the ruby and was made to do it but the fortune teller, Dr Facilier (Daniel Francis) in return for his love whom he kidnapped and is holding hostage. His true love being a frog and can only be cured by true love's kiss. She takes the ruby to him herself and demands the return of the frog. He refuses and tries to use her voodoo doll on Tiana but she draws her sword and takes the frog, with him vanishing with the ruby. Releasing the frog Marius tells her he hasn't been honest with her, not only is he not a prince but he's also a frog. Thus the story of the frog prince turned around on its lily pad.
Tiana's mother, Eudora (Robin Givens) tells her it wasn't money they needed but her legacy: the medal and this gave her the courage to act. Anyway as said Hook kinda seemed smitten with her in this realm and will that be carried over to Hyperion Heights, especially as she brought the Beignets to thank him for putting Jacinda onto the impounded truck auction which they can now use for their business. Hook telling her to clean it out thoroughly! See like the chicken shop! Ha.
Just more scenes setting up more questions than providing us with answers in this ep, now Rumples knows who he is, it's revealed Drizilla/Ivy also knows, which doesn't leave up much hope for Hyperion Heights lasting for long. Was Reggie's and Henry's photo just a ploy on her part for them to rid Victoria and save her the trouble of doing it herself. As well as Ivy getting closer to Henry. Was the photo also for Henry to have found rather than Ronnie. Who is this Dr Facilier, someone who Rumples may know and can use for his own purposes.
