Jacinda (Dania Ramiriz) goes on about the "foot" truck again (sorry but that's what it sounds like) and how she won't have enough money and won't be able to get Lucy (Alison Fernandez) back. So Ronni (Lana Parilla) suggests she could work here as things have picked up and she agrees. Yes but how will that go down with Social Services working in a bar as opposed to some lame chicken burger store which was burned down cos of her allowing Sabine (Mekia Cox) to bake there. No matter cos by episode's end, Lucy is taken away anyway since the complaint against Jacinda still stands. Ivy (Adelaide Kane) still getting, or trying to get her hands on Henry (Andrew J West) too as she suggests he should do a podcast. (Next ep.)
Back in the Other Realm Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) chances upon Reggie looking for passage on his ship to escape the clutches of Snow and Charming who are hot on her heels. Though we didn't get to see them, nor did we get any ending to their story and where they are now. Hook agrees to it but first he must take care of his own business and he looks for a way that will help him seek revenge on the Dark One once and for all. This being a flower. He comes to a tower and climbs up where he meets Rapunzel (Meegan Warner) and she tells him of being imprisoned here by the Witch and she can't get out unless he finds the flower from her garden and that way they can both have what they want. Well Rapunzel as we know was freed a while back, but you can never tell which direction this show will take when coming up with stories that will confuse some viewers even more.
Hook ventures to the garden with Mr Smee (Chris Gauthier) and he must sing to find the flower only awakening a giant gnome (now Sheila in Aussie soap Neighbours would've loved one of those!) Anyway Smee suggests he sing a different song and he ends up singing a lullaby which turns the gnome to dust. He recalls his mother would sing that to him and his brother and when he no longer heard it anymore he guessed it was a lullaby. So apparently this Hook is the one with the daughter (ie fat bellied Hook.) This was his story. As he returns with the flower, Rapunzel is so grateful at getting her freedom that she wants to get it on with Hook there and then and being the pirate that he is, he obliges. Now Rapunzel wouldn't have done that. Next morning it's actually the Witch (Emma Booth) that Victoria is holding prisoner and she has a baby. "Bloody Fast work mate" he thinks to himself, as she tells him it's magic and she needed to leave her bloodline behind to escape the tower. She wants Hook to come too leaving him a petal for his purposes but he can't leave the baby alone. His baby.
Hook gives The Jolly Roger to Smee and tells him to take Reggie away. He's got other business, as he sings to the baby again, he names her Alice. Thus Alice (in Wonderland) is his daughter, wonders will never cease. No wonder she was so vested in Hook Rogers back at Hyperion Heights and practically told him it was her last ep as she held that chess piece right under his nose, but he didn't get it. Still thinking misguidedly this Eloise is his daughter, or some familial connection with her. He sets out to find her once more and chances upon the man with the tat's DB and calls in Weaver Rumples (Robert Carlyle). He promptly reports to Victoria (Gabrielle Anwar) about what he's doing and she wants it taken care of. Sorry but didn't he tell Victoria he was no longer on her payroll.
Hook thinks Alice (Rose Reynolds) is the only one who can help him as she did last time and Henry tags along to help. He won't turn her in for selling stolen watches and she tells him she'll help him if he meets her in two hours with a sandwich. A marmalade sandwich Hook replies. Heck man that should've given away what she was going to do. When she does turn up she tells him Eloise was killed in a car accident and gives him the painted page from his journal. However Hook rubs it and the paint runs off onto his hand. He confronts Rumples about this who marvels at the Dark One's dagger which is kept in the evidence lock up, silly place to have it. Rumples warns Hook against pursuing this and also tries to convince him he's not working for Victoria but he can't stop him from confronting her.
Victoria finds out that the Witch has had a visitor who's tracked dirt in and she tells her it was probably Victoria anyway. Victoria finding Ivy's shoes as she's not at her desk and knows Drizella has her memories intact. Hook manages to find Victoria and handcuffs her releasing Eloise and Victoria is arrested. Which is a joyous day for Ivy but Victoria tells her she's making a big mistake unleashing her into the world. As things backfire for Jacinda too since she can't have Lucy until her complaint is properly sorted out.
Hook telling Henry he feels a family connection towards Eloise and he doesn't know what that is. Well that'll be the one night stand they shared together, but Alice standing by at the end knowing she's his daughter and she can't do anything about it cos he won't believe her, but also how Rumples wanted to tell Hook what was going on but he wouldn't believe him. Just like sceptical Henry. How frustrating is all this anyway. As we know now how Hook came about his daughter, it wasn't even a night of passion in that sense, he was used, a mere object for her to gain her freedom! What would the witch have done if she wasn't approached by this handsome guyliner dude, oh never mind, she'd have gone for anyone to gain her freedom, scruple-less as she is!! Eloise has an apt name though considering she had that garden as a Witch in the Other Realm, but also how she's meant to be green-fingered here too in attemting to make that plant grow. Rumples doesn't take the same approach with Reggie in the next ep when she tells him about joining forces!
