Non Spoiler Review- This episode was really focused on mothers and the relationships between mothers and their children. I think the show did this because this episode premiered a week before Mother's Day and the mother theme really fit in quite nicely with the over-arcing story. Overall this was a great episode with plenty of great character moments and a huge surprise.
*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******
Highlights of the episode
1. Author is writing a new story- The big surprising cliffhanger this week is that the author finally has everything he needs. He now plans on writing a book where the heroes lose and villains win, based on the promos it seems that the villains are heroes and the heroes are villains. I'm unsure of how morally grey characters will fit into this (ie. Captain Hook, Regina, and Emma) because they exhibit qualities of both at times.
2. Regina takes Lily's blood- It was assumed that Gold needed darkened Savior blood to get the magic ink to work but we learn that Lily makes a good substitute as Regina slits her wrist and takes her blood. I didn;t see this coming and assumed they would have to convert Emma but Regina found a shortcut. This then results in lily turning into a dragon just like her mother.
3. Regina realizes she what her happy ending really is- Regina realizes she is what stands between herself and her happy ending. Her happy ending is feeling at home and she realizes she doesn't need to punish Zelena. I liked this as a step forward for Regina because Regina has grown to become one of my favorite characters on the show and she only gets better and more interesting each week.
4. Emma forgives Snow- Emma finally forgives Snow when she realizes that they were looking out for her best interests. I think this was a big step forward for Emma's character as she comes to forgiveness which seems to always be quite difficult for her.
5. Mother Daughter reunion- Maleficent comforts Lily and tells Lily she wants to be a part of her life after the dragon escapade and Lily realizes she's telling the truth and the two accept one another. I wonder how long this happy ending will last though given what is coming in the season finale.
