+ I loved that Emma called Snow for advice about the Neal situation. I loved that was her first instinct/thought during a stressful situation.
+ I loved the short Snow/Charming scene where they consider Henry's family situation now. That was hilarious.
+ I thought the Neal/Emma/Rumpelstiltskin/Henry scenes were excellent, especially the first one where the truth about Henry being Neal's son comes out. Excellent acting all around (well, not so much Henry's actor. But JM and RC were great.)
+ I also really liked the Rumpelstiltskin/Neal confrontation. I loved Neal's unwillingness to instantly forgive his father, and his anger at him was well played and understandable. I also liked his reaction to Rumpelstiltskin's 'plan'.
Which speaking of - that was flipping crazy! His big plan is to - erase all of Baelfire's memories so they can start over?! ... I don't even know where to start. Well, I'm kind of wondering why he thought Baelfire would ever go for it.
+ I didn't care about the Rumpelstiltskin flashbacks at all.
+ "I thought you were different, but you're just like her. Regina. She always lied to me, too." - Henry I kind of like this line a lot. I think Henry's biggest issue with Regina in the beginning (before the evil that happened around him) wasn't that she was 'the evil queen' it was that she lied to him, constantly, and to the point that she tried to make him think he was crazy for what he believed. But the show has never really directly dealt with that. In that he's always had a strained relationship with her during the show and it's not addressed beyond his insistence that she was the evil queen (as a reason for why he wanted Emma around/to be his mom) when I think it had to have been more than that.
+ I liked Emma's talk with Henry and that she apologised to him about lying about his dad but at the same time I love that she was completely unapologetic with Neal.
