Another amazing episode with some amazing twists! These are our initial thoughts. More details and discussion in our next full episode of ONCE podcast™.

Some of our interesting discussion points:

* Mr. Gold said “please” again to Regina

* “Well, it sounds a lot nicer than ‘dungeon'”

* Chipped teacup, “Chip” from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast

* “Bad things tend to happen to bad people”

* “True love’s kiss will break any curse.”

* Where does this fit on the timeline? Probably close to the curse because of Belle’s same age in Storybrooke.

* Regina was called a queen, and she could see through mirrors.

* The Florist, Mr. French, is Belle’s father

* Mr. Gold knows that he’s Rumpelstiltskin and remembers everything!

* Mention of a mermaid—Ariel?

* Docxen found merlin’s hat in Rumpelstiltskin’s hall behind Evil Queen

* Will we see lesser-known fairytales, like Tom Thumb?
