Personal Rating:

Better CGI and Cinematography than previous episodes, it seems to have improved. The acting was great here, subtle but nuanced. The flashbacks were coherent - I seem to remember in Season One they mentioning how John Doe had sleepwalked before, and I suppose the 18 years wiped most of the details out of the townspeople's memories. I enjoyed Tiger Lily and her character, as well as the scenes he shared with Hook as she held her own. Although I did not like Snow and Charming giving away their own chance for the man who murdered Charming's father, I was fine with it as they decided to risk a chance themselves with the sleeping curse and Hook was first to jump to it.

Very interesting, both present and path storylines, and I'm glad we got to see Snow and Charming again in full presence, and they tied up all the other loose ends before the Final Battle begins in both this and the previous episodes. I was very impressed by the quality of this episode. I find that the episodes that have to do with Snowing (such as Heartless) are always great, mainly because we aren't overdosed with them but instead we are given a good storyline when it calls for it.

I hope more regret comes from Hook in the following episode, and I'll be satisfied with the ending. This is what feels like a Season 1-2 episode, to be honest, probably of the latter. They (Snow and Charming) are the heart and soul of the show, along with Emma, and I was glad they are here shining with great performances.

Also, the next episode seems good as well.

8/10
