At least this ep had quite a bit going on. With Rumples (Robert Carlyle) using dragon breath to awaken the Blue Fairy (Keegan Connor Tracy) since she's the one who knows where the rest of the wand is and the Black Fairy (Jaime Murray) getting agitated cos she knows her dark secret. Obviously we were going to find that out too since it wasn't conducive to have that drag out for weeks, especially nearing the end of the season. So we get flashbacks to his mother, Fiona/Black Fairy, giving birth to Rumples and always singing a song to him, but not even naming him. As the Blue Fairy and Tiger Lily (Sara Tomko) arrive, Tiger Lily being his fairy godmother and his protector since Rumples is the Saviour and destined to be a great hero! Of course Fiona wasn't too happy with this since she didn't want to lose him and they shouldn't have told her, with hindsight, cos she really lost the plot when she found this out and not in a good. She reads all the magic and spells and wants to find the child with the crescent tat who will kill her son.
Tiger Lily tries to stop her since she's here to protect him, but Fiona tricks her into taking her wand and using her powers on herself to become a fairy too. Yeah it wa s more important to become a fairy than a mother. Travelling the land looking for the tattooed child born that winter, but not finding them. Also explaining why she kept stealing all the babies! The Blue Fairy and Tiger Lily interfering again when she wants powers and has a spell to help him, but Tiger Lily finds it's a spell to cast a dark curse. As they try to stop her, Tiger Lily also gives her the shears to sever her powers and stop this. As the Blue Fairy arrives to stop her from crushing Tiger Lily's heart. But Fiona takes the shears and removes Rumples' powers instead. Knowing that's what she wanted all along.
As the Blue Fairy awakes she tells them wand is at the heart of Storybrooke, which was cryptic so leading the others to look for it. However, Snow tries to strangle her, was going to say why is Snow's hand on her throat. Turns out Snow is the Black Fairy and Charming was Gideon (Giles Matthey). So she searches for the wand too but why bother when it's just easier to come out and take the spoils after they've already been found. Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Charming (Josh Dallas) the real ones arrive at the clock tower cos it's the heart of town but don't find anything. 'ere Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) was desperate in getting answers from the Blue Fairy as to where the wand was, barely giving her time to recover let alone open her eyes. See the Black Fairy got that trick from Reggie about pretending to be someone else!
Regina (Lana Parilla) has Zelena (Rebecca Mader) staying with her now as she tries to assemble a flat pack cot for Robin. She regrets not having any power and Regina tells he it'll take time to get used to it. She didn't have any powers for 28 years during the time of the curse. However she has an idea how she can help during the final battle. Regina buys her a car so she can leave here when things go wrong and take Henry (Jared S Gilmore) with her. So he can look after her! Does Henry still need looking after though, he's old enough isn't he.
They realize the centre of the heart means something different for fairies and that it's at Granny's (Beverley Elliott) who isn't too happy with Regina messing up the lunchtime orders! Hook and Charming find it under the jukebox and Regina takes it. However the Black Fairy turns up again and Regina challenges her. However she can't do much and is about to be taken care of until Zelena arrives and runs her over, making the Black Fairy vanish for now. Appears it was easier to learn to drive for Zelena when aiming at something.
Rumples finds the way he can see where Gideon's heart is by using Morpheas' sleeping powder. As he tells Belle (Emilie de Ravin) he must do this and asks if she trusts him. He takes Gideon and Emma with him. He tells her he couldn't have her killing the Black Fairy when he wasn't around until he finds his heart. Ending up in the house where he was born. Emma telling him she knows what it's like to be an orphan and have no one. But he tells her it's not the same. This isn't Gideon's dream but Rumples'. She wasn't a good mother at all, she didn't even name him. Seems Rumples doesn't have much of a track record when it comes to women, especially since Milah left him in the lurch too with their son! He finds Gideon but it's Rumples' basket and Emma says he needs to find out for himself and to do it for Gideon. Rumples finds out her secret, that he was the Saviour and she took his powers and made him a coward. Emma tells him he must fight her and not her fight. Obviously it won't turn out that way. He's not going to kill his mother no matter what he thinks of her. Oh and as for his father, will he wasn't much of a father, makes you wonder why Fiona married him. Again the same with Milah too cos Rumples wasn't much of a father, even though he tried to do the right thing by Bae. Rumples' father being the one to name him, Rumpelstiltskin.
Heading back he's given the wand and he meets with the Black fairy but she convinces him otherwise. He's not happy she took his powers cos she wanted powers for herself, of course it's the same with him, he could never give up his powers either. So like mother like son. Though he does get Gideon's heart back, which he did for him for once but then promptly lies to both Belle and Gideon! Including the others, as he gives them a shrivelled black heart saying it's her's. Snow now saying the wedding can go ahead. How could Rumples not see she was still lying and manipulating him!
Oh no just thought the OUAT musical ep, it's not going to be the wedding?!! Cos you know, the alternate dream reality ep where Emma was wondering around as a princess singing!
Hook wants Henry as the best man cos they've been through quite a lot. As the Black Fairy prepares for the showdown and now has Rumpels on her side too. Seems the meddling fairies had a lot to answer for with their interfering and blabbing! I mean remember Sleeping Beauty, they couldn't save her either. Although Cinderella go to go to the ball. Let's not forget we haven't had Tiger Lily's story yet about how she arrived at Neverland! Oh and it says plenty about why Rumples' father ended up as Peter Pan. Thus maybe her story has something to do with him, seeing as the Lost Boys were after her too. So Rumples could take care of his father, but couldn't take his mother's life! Yet still lied to his family straight to their faces, so much for wanting to give his son a fresh start.
