After writing about some serious stuff, previous post, let's go into some fantasy mode!
It's Alice's (Rose Reynolds) birthday as she's grown up now and she's more Tilly here in appearance than the Alice in last ep. She makes a wish wanting to get out of the tower and moments later it comes true. She finds the roof ripped away and a giant peering inside as he takes her into the palm of his hand. He let's her go and in the woods she falls into the trap set by Robin (Tiera Skovbye) hoisted up into the cage. Didn't this happen to Snow and Charming too. After she spies Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) with baby Lucy. Anyhoo, Robin set the trap for the giant since he's been terrorizing the village. Alice wants to get out of the cage and Robin finally lowers her down after she tells them she was spying on her papa since he's cursed and she can't be with him. Alice has been searching for a cure everywhere and in Wonderland and we get a reference to the Mad Hatter as she has one of his hats. Which got me thinking how did she get the hat in the tower cos if that's the case, surely she could've used it as a portal. Or did she make it herself. She does have magic and that she inherited from her mother Gothel. Maybe I was overdoing it in thinking too much!
As they arrive at the inn, they find villagers taking refuge there and when they learn Alice wants to save the giant they imprison Alice and Robin. Robin shows her photos of the Bug in Storybrooke and how it belonged to the sheriff and she went for a ride in it. Alice is impressed by her phone and the photos on it. They escape and come across the village folk, menfolk, trying to kill the giant. Robin shoots at him with an arrow and she tells them who she is. They're not impressed but as they're cornered again, the Yellow Bug comes to their rescue and Robin tells Alice she is magical. As they come across the giant again (in resemblance or allusion to The BFG - which isn't a Disney creation so no reference could be made to it by name.) Robin tells her that she wished for the giant and so it saved her so she can wish him away. As she does so, he turns into stone. This is the same statue that is in Hyperion Heights and in its hand he holds the Bug.
As we return to Hyperion Heights and Hook or Nook as Zelena (Rebecca Mader) called him, with Alice's joke of calling Robin 'Nobin'; is trying to find an alibi for Tilly for the murder. However he can't and he brings her to Henry (Andrew J West) as they need somewhere to escape. She can't recall where she was at the time of the murder. When they leave she finds a fruit sticker stuck to her shoe and asks all the people there at the market, but no one recalls her. She's invisible to everyone. Hey that's what I call myself, Invisible Girl, ha! As she walks past the dumpster she finds her backpack in there and Hook and Henry have to save her from the police and Hook must take her in. Tilly turns up at the statue again and here she meets Robin as she returns to Hyperion Heights. They have a conversation about the book she's reading amongst other things, Alice in Wonderland, Tilly was reading Robin Hood earlier on. At least she glanced through it when she was at Henry's. Obviously they had a moment as Robin and Alice in the other realm. This kinda leads to Tilly noticing the red light in the statue's eye, thus a CCTV camera. Hook finds the time stamp and clears her name. He also offers her a spare room at his place as the killer is still on the loose.
Reggie (Lana Parilla) and Lucy (Alison Fernandez) go ahead with their operation and Lucy thinks it's old fashioned to use walkie talkies (well it was good enough for her father!) Reggie distracts Facilier (Daniel Francis) and Lucy breaks into his place to find evidence or clues. Reggie convinces him to go on a date with her, a walk and they're interrupted by Zelena who knows Facilier is aware they know who they really are. He leaves them and get backs to his place and Reggie can't get through to Lucy. Zelena adding they should've used walkies. Lucy finds the cards on his table and takes a photo, hiding from him, but he was aware she was there and sees her reflection in the mirror.
He brings back her woolly hat for Reggie and also gives her the Empress card, it's what she wants he tells her. She admits to Zelena she does have feelings for Facilier also revealing he's after the Dark One and his dagger but doesn't tell her about the card. Does Reggie still harbour Evil Queen tendencies now? Robin returns and Zelena is glad to see her.
Another turn of events now and will Robin be helpful in finding the witch killer or is she just a distraction for Tilly and a potential love interest. Hoping this is resolved quickly. Henry wasn't much help this episode.
