Regina (Lana Parilla) and Emma (Jennifer Morrison) finding a way to trap the Evil Queen would only backfire, at least most of the eps begin in this way. Then somehow they backfire on her. This one begins with Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and David/Charming (Josh Dallas) coming to terms with not seeing each other at the same time and leave messages for each other. As well as Snow realizing the Evil Queen is watching them through the mirror. Which gives Regina an idea to trap the Evil Queen in a mirror and this will require using Henry (Jared Gilmore) as bait. As if that hasn't been done before.
He meets The Evil Queen and she realizes it's a trap but gets one better on them when the mirror doesn't work and she smashes it, sending them to the land of mirrors instead, where she's been watching everyone, what the Evil Queen has a pervy bone in her! As well as keeping up the Rumples' (Robert Carlyle) seduction. which he goes along with only cos he's using her and it suits him now. Belle (Emilie de Ravin) wants to escape him and asks Zelena f(Rebecca Mader) for help since she showed her Rumples and the Evil Queen together. She wants to get away from him and needs a portal. So she needs her wand which is in his shop and Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz) is the only thief who can help her. Again reminiscent of Will Scarlet. He agrees to do it even against Jasmine's (Karen Shenaz David) wishes cos they're meant to be searching for Agrabah.
Regina and Emma can see the others but can't use magic and this was where the Evil Queen was meant to be trapped. They determine Henry is the only one who can save them, cos it's his turn to show his maturity and that he can think for himself, without needing his mothers to do that for him. Cue the formal and him wanting to ask Violet (Olivia Steele-Falconer) so the Queen disguises herself as Regina and gives him advice. When Henry looks in the mirror at Granny's he senses something and this is reinforced when Evil Queen shows up and tells him one day they'll return to their castle and he can be king, not go after some commoner like Violet. But her falldown is when she slips her phrase of telling Henry not to slouch. In the land of mirrors they find the Dragon (Tzi Ma) and Emma needing his help, but he can't do anything for her parents. Though he did think of a way out by building together the pieces of a broken mrror.
Henry enlists Violet's help to get away from the Queen's watchful eye and in the crypt he tries to communicate with his mothers. Only he's beaten to the punch again by her as she reveals the Dragon's heart. She wants Henry to turn to his dark side and destroy it so he can save his mothers, who have to deal with the Dragon in dragon form now. They decide they must sacrifice themselves to Henry to help them. Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) discovers Emma's phone and mirror but isn't much help since Queenie knocks him out. Henry in the final moments doesn't smash his heart with the hammer but instead smashes the mirror allowing them to escape. Hook does arrive to save the day and sends the Queen on her way unless she wants her throat ripped by his hook. Only he knows if he does that he'll also kill Regina, but the Queen doesn't. What something she doesn't know in Storybrooke!
Belle gives the wand to Zelena but Rumples retrieves it since she's not going anywhere and wraps a golden threaded bracelet around her wrist so she can't leave. Which he was busy spinning away at when Aladdin broke it, again Rumples knowing he was there. Seems Aladdin is only remembered when they need something from him. Also Henry and Violet share a dance together and she admits she's been distant cos she didn't know how to act at school, cos of the movies they've been watching and he said he should've showed her Sixteen Candles first.
Getting tired of the Rumples/Belle fiasco of a storyline it's so repetitive. Just deal with it one way or another. She tells him he can be good, he's too weak and afraid to follow through on it. She won't let him see his son, he won't let her leave! Also Zelena shows he can't use his powers on her cos of the hospital ep where she helped him when he had his heart attack so he wants the Queen to kill her. Well Zelena you picked the wrong side again! Snow decides she can't write notes any longer and Charming says he misses her too. Curses not another variation on the sleeping curse!
