Once Upon A Time: The Stable Boy
This week we final learn just why Regina hates Snow and quite frankly, it's a little justified.
IN STORYBROOK:
It opens with Regina fiddling with a simple ring and we flashback a week and hear how she and Gold came up with a devious plan to get rid of Kathryn.
Back in the present, David whines a lot about Mary Margaret, Regina spends what too much time mocking MM and I continue to be amazed by the fact that Emma gets paid to be a Sheriff.
Sydney brings Emma flowers because he has nothing else to offer. Gold sets up a pretrial interview with the DA who happens to be King George or Charles Widmore depending on the show.
August tells Emma that when he gets writer's block he starts at the beginning and retraces his steps. She heads back to the dig where Ruby unearthed Kathryn's heart. She finds a piece of a shovel. She and August break into Regina's house and located the broken shovel. Like any good sheriff, she returns the next day with a warrant.
The shovel has been replaced.
She accuses August of being a traitor, but finds out Sydney is the traitor. She located a bug in the flowers he brought her.
Mary Margaret apologizes to Regina saying that she is sorry for whatever she has done to her. Apology not accepted.
In a major turn of events, just as MM was headed to court Kathryn is found alive in the alley.
IN FAIRYTALE land....
Regina is actually likeable and somewhat friendly and nice. Her mother on the other hand is pure evil. Regina is in love with Daniel, the stable boy. She is afraid to tell her mother.
I can't say I blame her as she is a wicked sorceress with a very bad temper.
Maxine from Wizards of Waverly Place comes barreling through her land on a runaway horse. Regina saves her.
Because she saves her, the king proposes. We learn that Maxine is really Snow White, the motherless daughter of King Leopold (whom I just love). Regina's mother accepts on her behalf and Regina is devastated. After all her true love, the stable boy, has not yet been capture by the dread pirate Roberts.
Regina rushes off to tell Daniel they must flee. Snow witness this and is very upset. Regina consoles her and tells her some ridiculously Disney-like crap about true love and how love is the most powerful magic of all and it creates happiness.
Honestly, I gagged a little.
Snow promises she will never tell anyone that Regina loves Daniel, but her cuteness is no match for Regina's evil mother, who gets the truth out of Snow after just one commercial break.
Regina's mother pulls Daniel's heart from his chest while Regina looks on. She tells her that love is weakness and that power endures.
Snow is surprised to learn that Regina is now marrying her father. She tells Snow that Daniel ran off and that she is surprised to realize she does, indeed, love King Leopold. Snow is happy. Snow tells her that she knew her mother would understand about how love works and Regina realizes the child did not keep her promise.
She has been dreaming of making her pay ever since.
We are on hiatus until April 22nd but return with a little more info on Rumple and the mysterious, yet oh so sexy, August.
Once Upon A Time: Red-handed
This episode made up for last week's lame event. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!IN STORYBROOK
David and Emma have a little pow wow at the police station and she says "It doesn't matter that you can't explain a damn thing. You are gorgeous and I will let you go."
David leaves and apparently heads to the woods to look for Kathryn.
Ruby has a childlike fit at the diner and quits because Grannie won't let her see the lemurs. She was going to leave town but MM says live with us. Do you get the impression that MM brings home lots of strays and that she probably owns a lot of cats!
Emma works at the only sheriff department in the world with a surplus budget. She gives Ruby a job answering phones and running errands. Some of which are a little questionable.
MM finds David in the woods where she too is looking for Kathryn. He's dazed and confused. She fetches Emma who brings Ruby. Ruby finds him straight away. David has lost his memory.....AGAIN.
Dr. Whale says probably a side effect of his comma and that maybe he could do a lot of things with no memory of them.
Emma says last time this happened he was headed somewhere specific. She sends Ruby out there to look. Ruby digs up a jewelry box with a human heart in it. Really?
It's looking like our man David is finally going to be arrested but alas it is MM. Her fingerprints were all over it.
That complicates things.
IN FAIRYTALE LAND
Peter the Hot comes knocking on Red's door. Grannie is hard core in Fairytale land. She doesn't want Red out of the house. She doesn't like Peter.
Soldiers come knocking on the door. Grannie says stop fighting the wolf. Hid. It is the only way to be safe. She sends Red to bed. She tells her to stay in her cape.
Grannie stands guard with a mean ass cross bow.
The next morning Red finds Snow hiding in the chicken coop. She lets her stay with them. They find a well full of blood and the entire army slain in the yard.
The men are rallying. They are going to KILL THE BEAST.
Grannie fills them in. She says that when she was a girl she saw the beast. She saw it kill her six brothers and her father. It nearly chewed off her arm. She tells them to stay and hide.
Red tells Snow she feels trapped. That Grannie won't let her out. That she loves Peter but that as long is the wolf is out there Grannie won't let her be with him.
She convinces Snow to hunt the wolf with her. They track it and realize that it's part wolf part man. It looks like Peter is the wolf.
Snow convinces her to tell Peter. To save him. Snow deceives Grannie and pretends to be Red. Red sneaks out to tie up Peter. To save him from himself.
Grannie learns of the defeat and rushes to Peter's aide. For he is not the wolf...RED IS THE WOLF.
Next week: Just how pure is Snow White?
