The truth about Cinderella

I love how they dig into our favorite fairy tales and tell the truth about them. This one is about Cinderella or Ella. She wants to go to the ball (of course) so her fairy godmother comes to grant her wishes. Only in this story, evil Rumpelstiltskin decides to poof her away and make a deal with Cinderella. He tells her that she can go to the ball if he gets her first unborn child. She agrees, falls in love with the prince, gets married (you see a touching moment of her and Snow being besties) and then Rumple comes to take his claim. She makes a deal with him that he can have both her babies (she lies and says she is having twins) if he signs the contract with this magical pen. While he is signing and knows that he will be imprisoned he tells her that she will never see her prince again until the baby is his. Then her prince falls down a magical well.

In Storybrook, we find Emma having coffee and slutty red as her waitress. She spills coffee on herself and then goes to use the inn's washing machine. There she finds Ella who is now just a confused, pregnant teen and tells her to change her life. She made a real life deal with Mr. Gold that he will take her baby to loving parents and she will get the money she needs to turn her life around. The father of the baby (now just a teenager himself and his father who was the King) says they want nothing to do with her. So Ella tries to leave town. Her car breaks down right out of state lines (of course - because Henry said that every time someone tries to leave something bad happens) and Emma finds her and helps her to the hospital. She gives birth and Mr. Gold is there to collect.

Emma tells him that the baby wont be his and she is willing to do him a favor if he lets this all go down. He agrees and suddenly, the boyfriend (aka prince) comes to be with the newly mother and his baby who they name Alexandria (the name they picked out in Fairy Tale land)

Queen evil Mayor, decides that Emma is no longer a threat since she has moved 10 times in the past few years, so she lays off her a bit. She makes her feel cold and alone by telling her she has no roots anywhere and nobody to love her. She also seems much happier since she is getting laid. The worst part is we find out with whom. It is the sheriff who we thought had his eye on Emma. He however, does offer Emma a job as a deputy. Which I am pretty sure Mayor Regina Evil Queen will frown upon.

I just love this show. I love the interesting tidbits and real life tie ins of all the characters. I wonder who they will focus on next? Aren't you curious to see who else lives in Storybrook, Maine?
