Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) tries to get back to Emma (Jennifer Morrison) as the Nautilus is pulled through some sort of a vortex portal but stops short of going anywhere since they're out of Kraken blood to fire the engines! Should've called Captain Jack Sparrow, he's had ample practise wrestling the Kraken!! ha. Just as all hope is lost Hook decides he's going to harpoon one. However he doesn't count on Jasmine (Karen David) and Aladdin (Deniz Akdeniz) getting in the way. As Jasmine wishes for Agrabah to be revealed to her since she needs to help her people. They spent all this time searching and couldn't find it until now. A ring drops out of her coat pocket as she turns away from kissing Aladdin. As well as a boat turning up so they set sail. Pretty soon they chance upon a Kraken and Hook too who had to save them. See another hero for Jasmine to add to her collection.
Interspersed with flashbacks to when Jasmine saved Ariel (JoAnna Garcia) from a stroppy stall keeper and helped her search for Prince Eric (Gil McKinney). However it's actually Jafar (Oded Fehr) in disguise. Who once again wants Jasmine to marry him or he'll destroy her city. Er, which he already tried in the previous flashback when he turned one of her suitors into a wooden stick using red magic powder. Must've been red chili then! Ha. Later she agrees to tell Jafar she will marry him, but he said she was a fool as he just wanted to destroy the city and he didn't even want her! He shrinks it into the ring she has with her now. Jafar being given Regina's use of her fave word, 'destroy' here!
The Nautilus takes on water and Nemo (Faran Tahir) is ready to sink with it, but Hook, who's designing a harpoon decides they can't but must fight to keep the vessel afloat. Jasmine wishes for them to get to a nearby island instead. Nemo must return to his vessel as Captain and help his crew. Once again Liam (Nick Eversman) and Hook don't get to spend any time together, well why doesn't he visit more! And they happen upon Ariel's hut again, after she found Eric and came here. They recognize her trap. Jasmine is told she needs to fight for herself but she's not alone now and Aladdin also asked Hook for romantic advice, if Jasmine said anything about him. Look Hook's got his own problems in that department without having to advise! Anyway Jasmine thinks Jafar will help them now but he's no longer a genie and when she wishes for him, he breaks free of his cuffs! Knocking the others out, Jasmine uses the red powder on him and turns him into a wooden stick now. Which Hook leaves in the market place. She thinks she can get Agrabah back with true love's kiss, well more with love and as she kisses Aladdin, the city appears. Ariel asking for the ring!
Ariel tells Hook someone might be able to get him back home. So why couldn't she swim back with him? She gives him a piece of her oyster shell which is a horn, similar to what Hook has on his ship.
In Storybrooke Regina (Lana Parilla) wants a girl's night out and Emma needs to vent, So Emma's told Charming (Josh Dallas) about Hook and his father, Reggie says he should go back to sleep and let Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) come with them. After only just waking up. Regina's working on the sleeping curse but for now she wants to party at the new pub, Aesop's Table!! Really what a name for a pub. Obviously they had no qualms about checking out that dump of a dive! Regina calls Emma there in the guise of an emergency and they drink. Emma later spills all to the bartender, as you do and leaves her tears on a tissue at the bar! Agh magic tears, can't believe she'd do something so stupid and man who leaves their dirty rags in public places! Yuk!
Emma's packed Hook's belongings away including his rum! But Henry (Jared S Gilmore) hasn't take them back to the shed! So she does it herself when she hears the oyster, she can't reply to him but she hears what Hook says and that he loves her and he's trying to get back to her but didn't want to leave. Warning her about Gideon (Giles Matthey) but is too late, cos the bartender turns up who's really Gideon. He wants her to do what he can't, kill the Black Fairy.
I'm a little peeved with Once delving so much into the past just to come up with a new or continuing plotline which isn't very interesting at all. Here they bring back Jafar and wow, turn him into a stick. But he was taken care of in Once Upon A Time In Wonderland. Hmm was the ep title an allusion to that show? On top of that Jasmine didn't even ,wasn't even, hero material at all. Talk about indecisive and not being able to say no to Jafar. Or be able to stand up to him and this was a potential leader. Not to mention her fears were just another manifestation of Emma and her own doubts about being the Saviour and being able to help people, especially her family.
Yeh Regina you made Emma go to that pub! But Emma didn't think it ironic Aesop would whip up a a sob story about an artist not being able to be with the woman he loved. Exactly like her. I mean the fables had morals and she's just drinking when they could've had a perfectly decent booze night at Regina's!
