Once Upon A Time - "Witch Hunt"

[shipperx]

Jane E. wrote the episode, it seems (when I think she's been writing Once:Wonderland.  I've caught up with Once: Wonderland via OnDemand recently.  It's not bad).

Have to give Grumpy one of the best lines of the night when he was trying to suss out whether the Wicked Witch they were dealing with was East or West. When asked why that matters, he points out that it lets them know whether to drop a house on her or throw a bucket of water.

Also LOLd at Emma still being weirded out by stuff.  "The Wicked Witch is real?"  Capt. Hook: "...Asks the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming."

Speaking of Hook.  Forboding hint or continuity error:Last week he said he scavenged the ingredients of the memory spell and only came up with enough for Emma.  This week, he says the memory spell was delivered TO him.  More, hm, he really couldn't have done the spell because not even Regina can re-create it.As I don't think Hook would ever willingly do anything to hurt Emma, there's more to the story.  But the question will be what sort of deals is he willing to make or is he being used.  And if it's the a latter, who is doing it?
And... why IS Neal missing?

Red Riding Hood is back - yay!

And aw, the fake explanations to Henry about how Snow is an ex (LOL) prison cell mate of Emma's. Yes, Henry, you don't remember that now, but your grandparents look the same age as your mother. (Hell so does your adopted mother/step-grandmother.)

And I remain interested in how they will try to deal with Robin Hood and Regina.Did like that she rushed to save Roland, who is still cute as a bug. Between Robin's attitude toward Rumple and Regina, Robin's a rather forgiving dude.

Loved that they had Regina almost instinctively, do the one thing that would instantly put her on Robin's good side.

Also that showed she has changed, in the past, she wouldn't have thought twice to protect herself at another's expense, now she would endanger herself to save another's child.

If there's one thing they've been good about, it's showing that Regina's greatest weakness is her motherly instinct!

I enjoyed this episode -- and I didn't catch the thing about Hook and the memory potion (I think I've been too busy squeeing over the fact Rumple is back--not totally unexpected, but STILL).
