Before he was charming

Once is one of my favorite shows on. In this episode we get to see how Prince Charming became this way. The king's song was the toughest and fiercest warrior there is. After his last battle he was killed. Everyone was in mourning, but not really. The king was visited by none other than Rumple. We find out that the King and Queen were barren so they asked Rumple for a son. This son was slain, but we find out that he had a twin brother. A Shepard named David who lived with his mother out on their farm. His mother had given up his twin brother to save their farm back then. There are all sorts of deals that Rumple had made in this episode. So the king makes a deal with Rumple yet again for the other brother and in return Rumple can take the fairy godmother's wand. (Is this the same one in the Cinderella episode that he takes? That would make more sense!)

David's mother had asked to marry off her son in return for money and he refused. He said love is his only choice he can actually make himself. She gave him her ring (which we know he gave to Snow and Mary Margaret still wears and twirls around every so often). He then decides to act like the prince (his twin brother) in order to save his mother's farm yet again. Are we confused yet? BTW, Prince Charming is super cute. I am starting to like him more and more!


from abc.com

He steps in and slays the dragon and then his mother's farm is saved. He then is told he must stay acting as the prince if he doesn't want his mother to die. He becomes prince James now. He tells his mother goodbye and that he has to continue the act. The King makes a deal with King Midas (the one who turns it all to gold) to marry off his daughter (the Katherine we see in real life) and James agrees. In fairy tale land she is wretched and does not love him, but in Storybrook she does. Then they end on the scene where he is riding through the forest and snow sees them for the first time.

Back in real life, we have Emma who catches the sheriff sneaking out of Regina's bedroom window and finally catches on that they are an item. She is crushed. We have David Nolan telling Mary Margaret that he has left his wife and wants to be with her and to meet her at the toll bridge (troll bridge?) if she feels the same. Katherine and Regina become besties and Regina has this idea to try and strong hand Mary Margaret away and keep David with her. Katherine is showing him their old house and photos and says "you always hated that windmill". He says he remembers none of it, his heart somehow belongs to Mary Margaret.

Regina sees David on his way to meet MM so she tells him the wrong directions. She says he needs to go to Mr. Gold's pawnshop and hit the fork and two lefts and another turn, etc. He gets to the Pawn Shop, sees the creepy wooden dolls again and also stops at the windmill we heard about earlier. Creepy Mr. Gold appears and says "Charming, isn't it?" alluding to the fact that he is prince charming and memories start to flood in about the windmill.

He goes back to MM tells her that he remembers and must be with his real wife, that is the most noble thing. He breaks her heart and she leaves sobbing. He goes back to his wife, Katherine and tells her he remembers and tries to give it a shot with her. We end with MM crying at the diner as the doctor (who I don't know who that is yet) comes over and asks to buy her a drink or two.

So many questions. What happened with the windmill and what is it's significance? Does it remind him of his mother's farm? Was there a spell on it by Rumple?

I cannot wait another week!! I want more once! Right. N.O.W. :)
