Favorite Moments From Each Starring Character:
Snow: Her fight with David and the revelation scene that the dagger wasn't real

Belle (Wasn't in the episode)
Hook: His reaction to Henry having a crush and the horse ride with Emma
Henry: His scene in the barn with Hook, Emma, and Violet
Zelena (Wasn't in the episode)
Robin: His skepticism at the end
Spirit Rumple: Once again, liked his scene
Mr. Gold: Liked his short little scene at the end
Final Thoughts:
I really liked Hook, Henry, and Emma's scene in the barn when they were talking about Violet. The time line's a bit confusing, but I'm just going with the 5 years doesn't count the 28 years of the curse. I'll give this episode a 9/10 just because of the timeline issue.
I'm now officially caught up with the show. Tomorrow's post will be about the information we know about this Sunday's episode, which includes the press release, promotional photos, and sneak peeks. See you then.
