2 plots in this episode:
In Camelot, David and King Arthur team up to find a mushroom that will let the crew contact Merlin
In Storybrooke, David and King Arthur team up to stop a thief
Camelot:
The Camelot plot started with Regina, Emma, Belle, Snow, and David searching Merlin's tower. Belle mention looking at all his books is like talking to him. Regina finds a book that talks about a mushroom that can help you talk between barriers. Regina puts a piece of paper with a question mark on the page of the mushroom. David and Arthur team up to find the mushroom
Arthur tells David about the Siege Perilous chair, which Lancelot used to sit in.. David mentions he and Mary Margaret met Lancelot, and tells Arthur that he's dead now.
Arthur takes David to a forest and they find the mushroom which is after a very rickety bridge. David volunteers to be the one to go across it to grab the mushroom. On his way back, he fights some ghost soldiers that protect the mushroom. Arthur saves them, but loses the mushroom in the process.
Arthur knights David and lets him set in the Siege Perilous chair. Baby Neal starts crying, so Snow takes him out of the room and sees Lancelot who tells her Arthur is a villain and Camelot is not what it seems.
Arthur is then revealed to have stolen the mushroom from David.
Storybrooke:
The Storybrooke plot started with the dwarfs in the mine and Emma stealing Happy's axe. David, Snow and Regina find the book with the page with the mushroom in it. The dwarfs go to the Sheriff's office to complain. David is frustrated that they can't help Emma. Then we have a nice scene between Snow and David with their theme music playing in the background. Arthur comes in and says there was a theft in where all the Camelot crew are staying. David teams up with him to find out who did it.
They go to Belle at Gold's shop to see if anyone has traded anything in. David asks Belle how Mr. Gold is doing. Belle says she found a spell, but she needs something that touched him before he was the Dark One. David then takes a chalice to the encampment and tells them that it will reveal who the thief was. One knight runs off on his horse and David and Arthur follow him in David's truck. David has Arthur take the wheel and jousts on top of the car. The thief, Grif, tells David why he did it (I can't remember what he had said, It's been a while since I've seen the episode). David finds the mushroom in Arthur's stuff and takes it back to Regina and Snow who are now in Regina's vault.
Meanwhile, After Emma steals the axe, she tries to get Excalibur out of the stone with the axe. Spirit Rumple says it won't work and she needs a hero to get it out
Hook sees Robin at Granny's who is conflicted about his upcoming child with Zelena. They both connect about their complicated love lives. Hook then gets an order of food from Granny that Emma ordered with a note telling him to meet on the Jolly Roger.
Emma and Hook have a scene in the Jolly Roger, where Emma tries to get Hook to trust her but he isn't buying it. He rejects her because she isn't the Emma he loved. Emma uses Rumple as an example, and Hook reminds her that he was originally the villain to Rumple before he became the Dark One.
After Emma leaves, Hook goes back to Granny's and asks for Robin's help to break into Emma's house to see what's in the basement. Belle comes in to get something to eat and her rose starts to grow back, which means Mr.Gold is waking up from his coma. She rushes back to Gold's shop and sees that he's gone. Emma has kidnapped him and uses Hook's cutlass to wake him up. Emma then says that his heart is a blank slate so she's going to make him a hero so he can pull Excalibur from the stone.
Favorite Moments From Each Starring Character (Camelot):
Snow: Her scene in Merlin's tower and with Lancelot at the end
Emma: The only scene she had was in Merlin's tower
Regina: The scene in Merlin's tower (except for her scene with Zelena, which I'll explain at the bottom of the review)
David: Fighting off the ghost soldiers
Belle: The scene in Merlin's tower
Hook: (Only shown in background)
Henry: (Only shown in background)
Zelena: (I wasn't a fan of the one scene she was in, which I'll explain later)
Robin: His moment with Regina
Rumple: (Wasn't in the Camelot story)
Favorite Moments From Each Starring Character (Storybrooke):
Snow: Her scene with David in the Sheriff's office
Emma: I like all her scenes with the dwarfs, Spirit Rumple, Hook, and the short scene with Mr.Gold at the end.
Regina: Her small scene in the Sheriff's office
David: His scene with Snow in the Sheriff's office and the jousting car scene
Belle: Seeing that Mr.Gold is waking up from his coma.
Hook: His scenes with Emma and Robin
Henry: (Wasn't in the Storybrooke story)
Zelena: (Wasn't in the Storybrooke story)
Robin: His scenes with Hook
Note: I am counting Rumple and Mr.Gold as separate characters:
Spirit Rumple: I liked his scene with Emma
Mr. Gold: Waking up from his coma to come face to face with Emma as the Dark One
Final Thoughts:
My biggest question is why did Regina just part a question mark in the book? That doesn't really tell you anything.
I wasn't a fan of the Regina and Zelena scene for a couple reasons:
1. Regina is being a bit of a hypocrite since she's had a ton of second chances
2. It contradicts the previous episode
5x02 Regina to Robin "They may not think of me as the Evil Queen.."
5x03 Regina to Zelena "I am the Evil Queen"
I give this episode a 8/10 because of those 2 points
My 5x04 review will go up later tonight.
