After finding out that the sword which can kill Emma (Jennifer Morrison) can also be used to kill the Evil Queen, they attempt to do this. But wouldn't killing the Evil Queen also end Regina's (Lana Parilla) life too. However she gets hold of the lamp and uses Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz) as the Genie to wish Emma away back to her past, where she was never the Saviour, but someone who was a flighty as ever and so good, it was a little sickening. You know, use your brain and stop being an entitled princess. As she sings, "some day my prince will come..." whilst picking flowers. Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) Jasmine (Karen Shenaz David) and Charming (Josh Dallas) get a hold of the lamp and Jasmine and Aladdin leave for Agarabah. Let's hope for good cos that storyline wasn't interesting at all.
Cue the hooded figure from Emma's visions who turns up and his first act: to turn the Evil Queen into a serpent, er, wasn't that what Charming wished for her. Regina gets back into the world where Emma is only she's seen as the Evil Queen there and no one listens to her. No matter how she tries to convince them she's not from here. Henry (Jared Gilmore) also takes an instrumental role in being the one with the sword and trying to be a Saviour, even if it's not really who he's meant to be. Though he does have the inherited genes to be one it's not how it works. Regina resorts to all sorts of evil tricks to convince Emma she's the Saviour, but she just doesn't buy into it, even attacking Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming. However Henry strolls in, well I couldn't say rode in to save the day and play hero, he tries to kill Regina, causing Emma to have an epiphany, well a loose one for want of a better word and she realizes who Regina is. Oh and Snow and Charming have aged!! ha.
The hooded figure also revealing himself to be none other than Gideon, Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Rumple's (Robert Carlyle) son. See he was raised by the Black Fairy in her own evil form. A good scene was when Regina found Rumples locked up in the Charming's dungeon all this time and he'd do anything to get out, including promising Regina a magic bean in order for her to get back to their world, a promise which he ends up keeping, for once, ha. However as if nothing else could happen they get side tracked as who pops up, but none other than Robin Hood (Sean Maguire). Gees mention hero and he shows up!
It appears Belle and Rumples were coming to their senses a little bit in asking how far they've come and how? That's not love, it's sheer hate, resentment and is this something which led their son to be like this too. If Rumples hadn't pushed for Belle to make him be a part of Gideon's life, then she would've raised himself herself in Storybrooke and his birth wouldn't have been sped up, nor would the Black Fairy got her hands on him. How will they come to Emma's help and stop Gideon from killing her, at least how will Belle talk him round. Does he blame her for his destiny and turning out the way he did?
As for Robin showing up, will this mean Regina will found true reconciliation with Zelena. Becoming sisters as they should be for good this time. But how will this interfere when Robin wants to be a part of baby Robin's life and raise his daughter. Regina was willing to go through plenty to cut herself open and save Emma, at least draw out the Saviour. However her attempts to bring Emma out of her 'sleep' did show there is some darkness in her, a little at least, for her to go through these scenarios of 'evil' in order to get Emma to help resolve them. I did enjoy the scene where she burst into the castle again and again, when they're having a celebration and to find that the Charming's have aged!
Hook and Charming bond some more in this episode as the two men in Emma's life and no as Hook says they don't sit around waiting for a genie to appear, or wish for one. Yet they do work together in getting the lamp. However there are aspects of James in David which he didn't think were there, that he can be dark when it comes to his family and will do anything for them. Having Hook be there to save him from himself, in a way, again shows how far these two have come. Well he will be his father-in-law one day! Since Hook also reassured him that he isn't evil or dark and he is good, even if they're besieged by the sleeping curse and Snow won't be here he says to save him from the bad in him, Hook has shown he can help instead and Emma should be back too.
