Camelot (Many Years Ago):
This episode's opening scene was Merlin being tturned in to a tree by a Dark One (by Merlin's tear of lost love) that destroyed his love

It is revealed that Emma is watching the opening scene through a dreamcatcher. Snow and David try to get Regina to give them the dagger to give to Arthur. Emma comes in and freezes them telling Regina that Arthur has them under a spell.
Henry and Violet are in the stables grooming Nicodemus (Violet's horse). Henry asks how long she's had him. Violet says her mother gave her him on her 7th birthday, but she passed away before he learned to gallop. Henry tells her that he lost his father before he got to know him. After Violet leaves, Henry tries using a sword. Violet's father comes in and tells him that Violet needs to be with someone that could protect her.
Emma and Regina figure out to release Merlin, they have to use a tear. They run into Henry, who is once again trying to use a sword. Henry tells them that he's trying to fit Camelot. Emma and Regina tell Henry that being himself is the best thing he can do and they connect it to both Emma and Regina's first loves (Neal and Daniel respectively) After this conversation, Regina decides to use her tear by watching Daniel's death through a dream catcher.
Later, Henry is setting a date up at Granny's for Violet. Violet comes in and Henry gives her some Pepsi to drink and tells her that he heated up some lasagna to eat. Violet then tells him she though they were just hanging out as friends.
Emma and Regina are doing the spell to free Merlin and Regina's tear doesnt'work. Emma tells her that even though the heartbreak is real, it's not fresh, since she has Robin now. Then Henry comes up after his date. They comfort him while he's crying and they take his tear to use in the spell. Arthur shows up and starts a fight with Regina while Emma puts Henry's tear in the spell. They release Merlin who says he's been waiting for Emma.
Merlin tells Arthur that he was a dissapointment and Arthur responds by saying Merlin gave him false prophecies. Arthur starts puulling out Excalibur and Merlin tells him they both know that the broken sword can't hurt him.
The whole group is at Granny's and Merlin frees Snow and David from Arthur's spell. Hook asks Merlin if he can free Emma from the darkness. He says yes but only if Emma is completely ready to get rid of the darkness from her heart

Final Thoughts:
This was a great episode. The fact that this show focuses on family is what got me into the show in the first place, and tthis episode shows that. The scenes with Emma, Regina, and Henry and all the mentions of Neal. I also think it's great Henry got to be a big part of the episode. The only thing I'm wondering is when the dreamcatcher scene with Emma taking Violet's heart happened. Was it before Regina relived her mother killing Daniel or after? This gets a 10/10 from me
