YES! I didn't about it before, but Cora and Zelena are totally CS shippers (like mother like daughter?) I can see them swapping stories now of how their actions have encouraged CS to happen.

Other random thoughts from this episode.. those anti-magic cuffs seem to pop up everywhere - how did they even end up in the underworld? In my head I want to believe Hades made them for Peter Pan and also gave him the portrait of Henry during some deal they made. I know PP said he created them, but if they were made for him it wouldn't be too much of a stretch and would also explain why there are more of them floating around underbrook. OR perhaps PP made more of the cuffs for Hades in exchange for a cushy underworld life? Oh and I know others have pointed this out already, but that Hook and Cora reunion was amazing. I didn't realize I needed it until it happened. Probably my favorite part of the episode.

Haha yes I agree. I wasn't saying that was THE or even A reason for her to stay. any murder is still murder and the fact that she didn't destroy an entire village doesn't mean she more redeemable or anything. It's just funny that compared to other villains and former-villains her body count is low, despite being truly messed up and evil. I think that's why I like her and peter pan though because they are apologetically crazy. I had high hope for Hades and he was fun in the beginning, but he isn't a top villain for me.

No I agree. She is definitely a psychopath and would have killed many more if the author didn't take away her ability to kill. I just meant it's pretty low compared to Regina and Rumple. Also, I completely forgot about her own Mother - I should probably rewatch 4B. I didn't care for that Arc much, but maybe I will like it better on a rewatch, especially compared to Season 5 so far.

Yeah I'm a bit nervous about this test... I could see them ending on a cliff hanger or Emma thinking she failed and it turns out she needed to let him go in order to pass and get him back. Either way I will have some wine ready for next week and I have a feeling it is going to kill me in feels.

Cruella's body count is pretty low from what I recall, just her mother's husbands correct? And how many were there, maybe 3? I also was surprised Cora moved on. I mean it was pretty obvious that the show wouldn't have that touching moment with her daughters and then have her end up in the worse place, but I'm not certain she redeemed herself enough. Speaking of Cora was anyone else pleasantly surprised by the hook and cora reunion? I didnt realize I needed that until it happened. One of my favorite parts of the episode. Overall the episode was okay. It wasn't terrible and if it had been earlier in the season I may have enjoyed it more, but I feel like the underworld arc is dragging on now with no real progress. I can't wait for next week's though.
