Once Upon a Time S2 E10
I was SO PLEASED they showed the party after Emma and Snow returned. And Emma invited Regina! That whole first act was fantastic. Though Emma's reaction to Regina asking for Henry to stay with her sometimes was weird. First off, Henry's old enough that he should have some say in the matter. Second, I guess it's hard for me to wrap my head around Emma suddenly being his mother FOR REAL. (I don't mean biologically.) It just was never a foregone conclusion in my mind, even after the curse was broken. I guess because they never really had time together where they were fully mother/son -- almost as soon as the curse was broken Emma went through that portal. So it was a little strange still to see the balance of power so shifted, that Regina was asking Emma for permission to see Henry, instead of the other way around.
The basic episode structure, in which thematic and character developments unfold in tandem in the two worlds and build off each other, is still working great. It's a formula, but it totally works.
Another pleasing thing: when Cora told Hook to go see "who" was in the hold of his ship, I was sure it'd be Belle, kidnapped AGAIN. And not getting to flirt with Ruby! So I was delighted when it was Jiminy! And also because they didn't fridge him. I like him.
I wonder who Cora *did* kill? I'm trying to think of who I saw in the episode after that scene. I know I saw all my favorite ladies: Ruby, Belle, Emma and Snow of course. I don't think I saw Grumpy. :( Lol, watch it'll be Amy Acker's character.
