This episode always makes me nostalgic. Back before any of us knew where things would end up going for Emma. ”I don’t mean to upset you, Emma. But I think we make quite the team.” Nice little tease of things to come.

I don’t think Piper is gone from the show. She’s probably gonna work on writing her memoirs like real Piper ended up doing. And visit to see Alex. Can’t say I’m gonna miss the Denning sisters. Decades later and still fighting over that stupid “glass of ice” story? They were both crazy. It will be interesting to see how things change with them no longer around though. Bet Badison won’t be feeling so high and mighty. That angry woman child needs to be taken down a peg or two.

The Vauseman flirting. Just elope already. Barb was kinda funny in medical with Nicky. She’s a carrot. lol

The C block inmates catching Nicky and Blanca doing their project in the library. Awkward.

So now we know how Freida got sent to minimum security. She is a survivor. Carol doesn’t seem too happy with her though. She’s still mad at her sister for stealing a poster? Issues.

Popcorn guard was so random.

Seriously messed up. The guards are covering up Piscatella’s murder by pinning it on the inmates. Could it get any worse?

Ending looks good for some characters. Others, not so much. Poor Taystee.

Trailer looks good.

That’s pretty much what they do every season. Astra and Lillian were both eventually replaced as big bads.

Okay. That ending was definitely overkill. I want to be mad. But, as far as all the scenarios I’ve imagined where the villains get their happy endings go. This isn’t really that bad. I guess you could technically say that Roni’s didn’t have to come at the cost of anyone else’s. Nobody lost their happiness. Many characters still lost their sanity, dignity and self respect (eg. Snow Charming). But as long as everyone else is happy, I’m willing to let this slide. I’ll just remember S7, or at least the parts I liked, as an extended epilogue to the true ending of the show. The S6 finale. Which called back to the first season, with a troubled kid believing his mother could be a hero, and save her family. Which she did by doing the right thing, and proving herself the true savior. Regina may have united all the realms. But without Emma none of them would even exist.

It’s kind of hilarious that now some villain wants to use the author’s powers to take away Rumple’s happy ending. When that’s only what he himself tried to do to everyone else back in season 4B. Seems to me like some long overdue karma. I have no sympathy at all.

What I find really BS about the wish realm in S6. Regina doesn’t care she killed WSnowing because they weren’t real. But she bungles her and Emma getting home just to chase after a not real version of Robin? Something is only worth caring about when it helps her? Typical. Meanwhile Emma is left to do all the work with Pinocchio to get them back. So who really ended up saving who in that disaster of a two parter? I mean, nothing Regina did made any difference. Killing WSnowing didn’t bring back Emma. And freeing WRumple did nothing because she ended up wasting the bean he gave them. Now he’s out. And she has to clean up another mess she made. And let’s not overlook her giving the idea to Drizella to cast the curse in the first place. Maybe all this could have been avoided if she’d just stayed home, or left with Emma and Killian. Bad for Storybrooke? Maybe. But better for everyone else.

I don’t think he forgives her. I think he merges with real Henry and feels the same love for Regina that he does. Kinda like how Emma described having both her own memories and Princess Emma’s memories. Total cop out. But I’m used to it with this show.

Seriously? So an innocent kid is dead. And a grieving mother is going to be locked up for it. Hal might have started this when he killed Midge. But it was Hiram who escalated it when he set up Fangs. And he doesn’t care how many lives are lost in the chaos. As long as he can take credit for restoring order. He is the absolute worse. Archie still trying to be the peacekeeper. Protecting Reggie was the right move since he didn’t kill Fangs. And he held off the Ghoulies as long as he could, before the Riverdale dads came to the rescue. Of course FP would do his best to also keep the peace. No sense in going to war with the Northside when there’s a bigger enemy to fight. Wow. Cheryl was a total badass. Turning the tables on the Black Hood, then going to help Jughead save Toni. Don’t mess with her. I guess it’s an improvement, considering the lack of Choni interaction there has been lately. It’s no surprise to me that another Black Hood is still gunning for Fred. Obviously one of Hiram’s goons. He really wants him out of the way. Bad timing though, with Hal finally coming clean to Betty and Alice about being the Black Hood. But of course, both women don’t just sit down and take it. They fight back. First Alice distracts Hal by goading him about FP, and Betty knocks him out. Classic mother and daughter tag team. I love it. Lodge ladies finally seem to be getting tired of Hiram’s manipulations and willingness to sacrifice anyone to get what he wants. Even Hermione. I don’t blame them. Hopefully this comes back to bite him in the ass. There’s no way Veronica is going to just stand back and let him ruin her mother and Fred’s lives. Not crazy about Jughead giving himself up to Penny. Especially since she has no intention of honouring the deal he made with Hiram. Though it’s good to know everything he’s suspected about Hiram from the beginning was right. It’s good to have someone with a clear head who can see the bigger picture. He knew this was all just a means to an end for Hiram. And that’s why he’s such a threat. Certainly hope he recovers soon. And the gang can come up with some sort of a plan.

Why do Killian and Nook have to be merged? Didn’t he and Emma do enough for him already? Taking pity on the man, saving his life, and giving him his second chance to find his daughter is one thing. But Killian never signed up to have his life force tethered to his doppelgänger.

Oh well. At least her happy ending doesn’t come at the expense of other people’s finally. It’s not like she had to cast a curse this time. I also doubt that Tiana, Merida or Elsa are going to have to pass rule of their kingdoms down to her. They still have their own people and land to take care of.

I really couldn’t care less what they think.

Does this mean Emma has been merged with Wish Emma this whole time? She said she had all her memories. Even when she woke up. So she’s both Henry’s and Wish Henry’s mother? That’s messed up.

I wouldn’t blame them.

Amen.

And here I was thinking having Queen painted on her door by the dwarves at the end of S6 was a lame ending. It’s nothing compared to this.

Just another reminder of why I’ve hated the wish realm from day one.

Without a doubt, the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

Pretty much.
