Meanwhile, in Hyperion Heights, Ivy’s plot to take down Victoria intensifies and has unexpected consequences for Jacinda and Lucy. Rogers enlists Henry and Tilly’s help in his ongoing quest to find the missing Eloise Gardner, but what he discovers isn’t what meets the eye.

Goodman & Brigitte Hales and directed by Alex Kalymnios, with guest stars including Guest starring in this episode are Christopher Gauthier as Smee, Adelaide Kane as Drizelle/Ivy, Rose Reynolds as Alice/Tilly, Emma booth as The Witch and Meegan Warner as Rapunzel.

In an attempt to prevent a distressed Alice from running away, Henry and Ella follow her into Wonderland. Once there, Henry realizes that Ella has a surprising connection to this strange world. In Hyperion Heights, Jacinda reconnects with an old friend in a last ditch effort to regain custody of Lucy, but her decision to enlist outside help could put a strain on her burgeoning relationship with Henry.

Who is Nick Branson? Is he the adult version of baby Neal? Meanwile, the promo for “Eloise Gardener” and “Pretty in Blue” starts of with the Evil Queen in the Enchanted Forest talking about a map to a tower in a distant realm. Is it our Regina or this new realm’s version of the Evil Queen? Hook then comes over the edge climbing up to the tower, and meets Rapunzel with a frying pan in one hand. Flashing over to Henry seeing Alice, and Henry and Cinderella jumping into a portal to Wonderland and them practicing sword-fighting. Back in Hyperion Heights, we see Rogers with his gun, and ending with Regina at Roni’s talking to Weaver and asking him what the name Rumplestiltskin means to him.

Promotional Photos

For the photos for the episodes “Eloise Gardener” and “Pretty in Blue”, there’s a lot of images of Rapunzel and Hook in her tower for the first hour. Another photo is of Rapunzel showing Hook something inside a box. Rapunzel, looking a lot like a princess in the tower as opposed to the Tangled version of the fairy tale, which was dressed like a commoner. Based on this, it looks like this happened a long time ago since we still have the Evil Queen in this realm, and since Rumplestiltskin has changed ways, Hook might have gone to the Evil Queen to seek help in getting revenge. Does this mean that Rapunzel is Lady Tremaine and that this was how Wish Realm Hook and Lady Tremaine met and fall in love and ending up having a child together?

There’s also a couple of photos of Ivy with the witch in the tower and it looks like she’s growing something new. In line with this, ABC recently released a couple of photos of Regina and Drizella are training in the woods, and one of the photos showed Drizella holding a yellow flower, which looks quite a lot like the flower in the movie Tangled.

The images for “Pretty in Blue”, on the other hand, includes a lot of Henry, Regina and Cinderella in the Enchanted Forest,
