Looks like Hook has Regina all tied up where he wants her! ha
Regina (Lana Parrilla) tells Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) whatever they're paying him it's not enough and he is still on his mission to kill Rumples, believing they will help him, of course she tells him he can' trust them, but Hook won't listen. Bae/Neal (Michael Raymond-James) dreams of ending up in London when he went through the portal and we even get to see Big Ben. He ends up at the Darling's house after foraging for food and steals their bread. Wendy (Freya Tingly) finds him and offers him as much as he wants. She keeps him there and in her hidey hole in their room until he's caught one day by her parents. Her mother wants him to stay with them as one of their own. Well he could have been just about anyone! That big house of theirs and the children all share the one room, even Wendy! Oh their Brit accents!!
She tells Bae about the Shadow that comes every night and takes her flying but Bae tells her magic is bad, it destroys families, he won't let it destroy hers. Wendy goes with the Shadow and returns since the Shadow is only after boys, he wants one of her brothers. Explaining that's why it's called Neverland, cos no one comes back from there and at night, the children want their parents. Bae won't let anything happen to them and sets a plan in motion by lighting the lamps and having pots and pans to fight it.
Neal wakes and Tamara (Sonequa Martin-Green) tells him she's going for a run. He sees Gold (Robert Carlyle) from his window with Whale (David Anders) and he's about to hurt him cos he looked at Lacey (Emilie de Ravin) and he knows what his 'look' means. Neal rescues him and tells Gold he hasn't changed at all. Gold asks why he's still here, that'd be obvious, for Henry. What was the point of Whale?
Emma (Jennifer Morrison) Snow (Ginnifer Goodiwn) and Charming (Josh Dallas) break into Regina's office and find her gone. The bean plant is still there but the beans are missing. Emma finds the alarm was overridden, she has magic and Regina still resorts to using a conventional alarm system. Gold can help them find her as Emma returns to search Tamara's room. Neal still doesn't believe she is behind it but Emma finds sand in the room. She runs in the woods so what's she doing bringing back sand. They search for her on the beach and Emma tries to convince Neal he means nothing to her. Wondering why he listened to August. He says he was willing to go to jail for her and she tells him he found his Tallahassee with someone else. Cue Tamara running on the beach and they tell her of Regina. She feigns being concerned, anyone else would have probably asked what happened but she pretends. Huh so fake!
Snow asks for a spell to find Regina since she's still feeling guilty about killing Cora and Charming reminds him he owes him. He has Regina's tear and Snow asks what he's doing with that and how he has it (more for another ep). He needs to put a tear from Snow's own eye in the bottle and it will lead her to Regina wherever she is. Greg (Ethan Embury) tortures Regina and Tamara mentions the 'Home Office' meaning there are more of them and their aim is to rid magic from this world. They also have Regina's failsafe but don't yet know what it is. Greg wants to torture her until she reveals where his father is and Hook won't help until they help him with Rumples. Of course that's not gonna happen.
Lacey tells Gold she heard everything they talked about and so everything is true. He conjures up a necklace for her but he tells her he is immortal but that doesn't mean he can't be killed. There's someone here who can do that but he can't deal with it cos it's complicated. Snow has flashes of Regina being tortured and recalls the smell of sardines. Emma realizes she's at the cannery. Regina finally tells Greg his father is dead and is buried at the campsite. Tamara sees them on the CCTV and the need to leave. Emma is knocked out when they fight and she tells Neal she lied to him from the outset when she spilled coffee on him. She throws a bean which opens a portal and Neal is shot. Emma is saved from going in but Neal falls through, as they both say they love each other.
The Shadow comes for them but Bae steps in place of Michael (Benjamin Cook) and is taken. As Big Ben can be seen showing 8.15 on the clock. Significant for all sorts of reasons, such as time being stuck in Storybrooke. Bae lights up a match and the Shadow drops him in the water, where he's picked up by Hook, that's Captain Hook of the Jolly Roger. All that noise they were making in their room and no one heard them, not even outside. London town does not become a ghost town at 8pm!
The Blue Fairy (Keegan Connor Tracy) works her magic on Regina who can't believe they rescued her especially since they were going to leave her behind. She tells them of the failsafe and she was going to take Henry with her. Snow distraught she was going to let them die. Tamara finds out what the stone represents and that the Home Office wants them to go ahead with stage 2. Which will probably mean destroying Storybrooke and taking Henry. Speaking of, he missed all the excitement this episode, cos he was probably stuck in school.
SO meeting Wendy here was kind of an anti-climax, she wasn't that interesting though and seeing as she believes in magic would have made her listen to Bae about magic being no good, but she is still swept away by the moment and by the menacing Shadow. If the Shadow only wants boys (hence the lost boys) why does it take Wendy with it and then let her return? SO what's Hook's raison d'etre for being in Neverland, going for some pirate pillaging or was he trying to help the lost boys and lost souls at Neverland. When we get to meet him here and Bae's first encounter with him, he doesn't seem at all menacing or villainous.
Ooh Home Office, doesn't it sound such an English name (okay we do have one in real life - dealing with home affairs etc) but what if this one was started by Wendy in London, would be such a Brit thing, one for keeping magic away from this world since Bae opened up her eyes to its destructive nature and then it just continued from there. Of course there would never be just Greg and Tamara who would stumble upon knowing about magic, since he says he ranted as a boy and some people believed him. Thus it doesn't appear to be such a new concept or organization.
Just how many portals is Bae going to fall through and this scene was similar to the one with Rumples when he wouldn't go through the portal with Bae to where there wasn't any magic. Emma jumping the gun telling Charming he's dead, just cos he was shot and went through, she doesn't know where he is and what's happened to him. He could end up in another magic land, isn't that the purpose behind the beans. Of course we all recall Bae's line of "this wold wasn't my first stop," so what was that about?
As for Lacey/Belle wanting to live forever, well forever young, would Rumples even entertain the thought of that. He doesn't really want another Regina on his hands especially since Lacey doesn't have a good bone in her body right now. A little too much magic could be a dangerous thing and especially in the wrong hands!
