Another flashback to the Ogre Wars and another perspective on how this was fought and won, only it just leads back to the same thing over and over: Rumples (Robert Carlyle) and Bae (Brandon Spink). This time Beowulf (the ugly mug! ha.) thinks they can defeat them cos he's got a sword and talks the men into fighting the Ogres. He does that but many are killed until he faces another ogre who knocks him out and goes for the kill, but he's saved by Rumples: The Dark One, who else. Emphasis on Dark One cos that's the theme running through the entire episode again. Rumples used his magic to kill the ogres, all of them and instead of being hailed a hero at the tavern, Beowulf (Torstein Bjorkland) spoils his moment and fifteen minutes of fame by saying he used magic. Obviously Beowulf wanted to be the one to take the glory, but duh loser! Bae is disappointed since he asked Rumples not to use magic. However he returns home next day with mud on his face having been put through the ringer by the baker's son.
Only Ogre we liked was Milo Ventimiglia in Gotham!! ha.
The townspeople come knocking on Rumple's door begging for his help cos the Grendel is after them and they sent Beowulf after it a week ago. Rumples and Bae head there but Bae makes Rumples promise he won't use his magic and can fight it like a man. Cos he recalls how he didn't need crutches at one time. Rumples give him the dagger so he doesn't see it as a temptation. At the cave, Rumples finds the Grendel's horn and knows it's a trap. Beowulf wanting to play hero again. He wants to kill Rumples and he tells Bae to run. However Rumples is threatened by him and Bae uses the dagger to summon the Dark One and make him obey. Rumples wants to tell the villagers the truth but no one will listen to him. He walks away when he's trying to strange Beowulf and Bae commands him to kill Beowulf. Therein reinforcing Bae's dark side and his loss of soul.
Presently in Storybrooke, Rumples tries to save Gideon (Giles Matthey) from doing the same since he won't be any use against the Black Fairy even if he kills Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and becomes the Saviour. Rumples ties him up in the clocktower and tells him Bae's story. He won't let him do the same as his first born son did. Trying to give him memory potion in his tea to make him forget about the Black fairy (as he did with Bae). However that won't work on him as Gideon tells Rumples. He shows him Belle's (Emilie de Ravin) favourite book, Her Handsome Hero and he tried to be that and wants to be that to save his people. You see Rumples found him breaking into the Sheriff's office to retrieve the broken sword, silly place to keep it, which will help Gideon. He tells Rumples how he hid the book Belle gave him and used to read it every night. It kept him going until the Black Fairy found it. He wanted to save a boy there and he found his cell door open but didn't have the courage to help.
Gideon wants to change that now and commands Rumples with the dagger to tell him who forged the sword. Of course it had to be the Blue Fairy (Keegan Connor Tracy) Gideon's fairy godmother. He needs to take her blood and magic so the sword will be forged again. She apologizes for not being able to help against the Black Fairy cos she was too powerful. Rumples stops him from losing his soul and taking the blood of an innocent so he does it himself. Later promising Belle that he will stop Gideon and will wake up the Blue Fairy and return her magic to her. She's overjoyed that he thought of someone else and wouldn't let their son turn dark. But isn't he that already as he keeps talking about killing no matter of they're innocent or not. Thought Rumples would tell him he's got another way to help against the Black Fairy and what happened to their time travelling portals now so they could all go back and help Gideon.
Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) drinks some more, oops better watch out for the pot belly ha! And wallows some more as he tells Archie (Rapheal Sbarge) he's got a secret and he's the only one who knows about it. If he told Emma she won't see him in the same way. Archie tells him to keep it then but Hook says he's broken and has to own up. He tries to tell Emma after not eating his burgers and chips! But she thinks he wants to propose and accepts when she forces him to do it. Cheap shot considering he wasn't ready to propose yet but she kinda forces his hand (in marriage! Ha. Sorry). So there goes his confession and so much for Emma saying she doesn't want any walls or secrets between them
Okay next story. Robin (Sean Maguire) tells Zelena (Rebecca Mader) to whip up a magic potion to break the protection spell so he can leave this forsaken hamlet. He knows she'll want to do the same. She tries to do it but Regina (Lana Parilla) turns up at the sign. She tried to change him and was wrong, Zelena being familiar with that. She can't make him the Robin she knew, who had scruples after all, this one, well once a thief, always a thief. Regina tells them the spell won't work cos if she could have done it, she would've removed the spell herself. Of course it doesn't and Zelena was taking the serpent Evil Queen along with her too. She later apologies to Regina and returns the serpent's cage, only it's empty. Regina regretting she removed her evil self and wanting to take her back inside her body. However the serpent's gone. As the Evil Queen bites Robin as he still has some magic left in him and that's all she needed. Cue her return when hopefully things should hot up again cos quite frankly, a lot of this season just appears to be repetition.
