I personally thought it was amazing. I love that it made a callback to Once Upon A Time In Wonderland with Jafar becoming a Genie, though I wonder how he managed to free himself from the Genie curse. I ALWAYS ADORE seeing Ariel, Jasmine's story arc was well-done and I like that they didn't forget about her and Aladdin, I like that Killian had a SOMEWHAT more proper heartfelt goodbye with his half-brother (the only living blood family he has) than in the last episode where he didn't even speak to him and just spoke to Nemo, it was clever, I LOVED seeing Regina and Snow trying to cheer Emma up, drunk Snow was HILARIOUS, I like that they weren't going to drag out Hook seeming to have abandoned Emma (Those types of things kind of annoy me), I like that Gideon doesn't plan on killing Emma anymore and is instead forcing her to have her help him kill The Black Fairy, and I didn't mind the Hook scenes that much (though I know that you know who will comment here complaining about it having so much Hook and Emma OF COURSE being sad that she felt hurt AGAIN).

Plus I'm EXCITED that we're gonna see The Black Fairy REALLY SOON! We've heard so much talk about her throughout the show and now we're gonna finally see more of her and later on in this season learn her backstory. Plus we need a cool main villain since The Evil Queen is has reformed and is in a different realm and Gideon is absolutely DULL!

I don't think Gideon gave up on killing Emma... just saying ;)

Honestly I was kinda bored but drink Snow was funny lol. Has and Alasdin are cool but i wasn't as captured by their story. Idk why but I just didn't get into it. I'm also not that into the CS plot line.

Admittedly, I haven't been keeping up with this season, but it got positive reviews from the OUATIW fandom so I watched it, and I did appreciate the little nods they gave to the show and how Jafar was overall consistent with it. His defeat was a little anti-climatic though, and I'm a little confused as to why they didn't burn the staff or something and kill him... I mean, I'm glad they didn't because he is my trash son, but that's what I would have done.

Drunk Snow was hilarious. While I love Jafar, she was the highlight of the episode for me. xD

For me the episode was saved by drunk!Snow and the hot 'n' sexy Mixologist Aesop(!)

Once again too much Hook for my liking!
Why does he always have to yell at everyone?
Why does he always have to call every single woman 'love'?
And what is it with him placing the hand at his belt buckle like some kind of a cowboy, lately?

It's annoying and I am so tired of all of it....

Lol cowpirate, lassoing them sea cow.
