Truthfully, I didn't really enjoy this episode that much. Nonetheless, I need to provide my regular review.
DISCLAIMER: If you have not watched this episode and do not want it to be spoiled for you, then DO NOT READ ON.
First of all, this episode had too many things going on at once. I know, I know--OUAT episodes are usually like that, but none of the occurrences in this episode seemed to be linked together.
My favorite part of this episode had to be when Emma, Snow, and Hook were in Regina's vault and Emma casually said, "I don't have any issues." That line made me laugh so much because we all know that's not true. However, I can personally identify with that as I, too, tend to pretend I don't have any problems.
Once again, Belle disappointed me by going back to Rumple. At first she admitted that she "allows her optimism to cloud her judgment", but later on she ran into Rumple's arms;basically it's one step forward, two steps back with her.
As for Gaston, I don't really know what to think. When he first appeared, I was pretty confused because he didn't appear to be the vain, selfish Gaston we know from the Disney movie. I was watching this episode with my cousin and she also pointed out something to me that I never even thought of: Belle and her father are supposed to be relatively poor townspeople, not in charge of their own kingdom. I know Adam and Eddy like to put their own spin on the Disney versions, but that's just an insignificant detail that they should've stuck to.
Later on, we saw that Gaston actually had "demonic fire" in his eyes or whatever that book was talking about, which meant that he was evil with bad intentions or something like that (I wasn't really paying attention-I was too busy explaining the show to my cousin). This was also a little strange, but by this point I just went with it.
As much as I don't like Gaston, he is far better than Rumple, and I was actually pretty disappointed when he was pushed into the River of Lost Souls by Belle. After that incident, Hades showed up and cleverly got out of the deal he made with Belle by finding a loophole. Although they're not a good representation of my house, if their ever were true Slytherins, it would be Hades and Rumple. They're each an embodiment of what it means to be cunning and self-sufficient, even if it's for evil intentions.
So those were basically my thoughts on the episode. The next episode of Once Upon a Time is tonight at 8 PM so be sure to watch!
May you find peace in your fandoms.
