Wow. This episode was all sort of revealing and dramatic. Let's begin. I will start with Storybrooke news and then get into Fairy Tale land.
We start at the castle where Henry and Emma see is has been destroyed. He is furiously trying to dig up his lock box that holds his storybook in it. Whew. Its safe. Emma says they can rebuild. Madame mayor however says how unsafe that it looks and that Emma should do her job and stay away from Henry.
Back at the diner, Emma andher mother Mary Margaret are eating until she gets a text from David, saying to meet her. She runs out and Sidney GLASS (the town reporter of THE MIRROR) haha, sits down with her saying he wants to expose the Mayor. Emma says he is drunk, but takes his card anyway. Throughout this entire Storybrooke side of the episode they say little innuendos about apples, magic mirrors, and other things that show they all really know this is a fairy tale town.
She goes to meet with him after Regina rips down the castle and Henry's book is missing. Sidney tells her that Regina took $50k out of the city's funds and they need to figure out what she is doing with it. Emma decides to ask her first and she doesn't tell them anything. She then plants a microphone under Regina's desk. The only thing they get is a call saying to meet someone at a certain time. They rush out in the cop car to do so, but her brakes have been tampered with and they crash, missing the deal. They walk into the forest and see Mr. Gold who says he was meeting with Regina. She wanted to buy a but of land. But what for? Hmm, who knows.
In another side of town at the TOLL bridge (really the troll bridge, recognize it? Its where Snow and Charming first fell in love) Mary Margaret meets David and he rushes her off to a secluded picnic for two where they make out. She says they should figure things out, and he says ok tomorrow. They kiss some more. I wonder, does Regina know about this and if she does, doesn't she want to end Snow's happiness?
Henry is trying to recreate his book from his memory. The mysterious writer stranger asks him what he is doing and is super curious. Henry tells him nothing.
Sidney tells Emma that Regina has stolen this money to buy herself a new home. He wants to expose her at the next council meeting. Emma refuses, but after Sidney shows him pictures he took of her and Henry while he was supposed to spy on her, she agrees. She brings it up at the meeting and then Regina says she did take the money. To buy a new playground for the kids. She shows a slide of the new playground and Emma feels horrible. She tells Emma now she must stay away from Henry and just be sheriff, otherwise she will get a restraining order on her. Burn.
Ok, into Fairy tale land. Sidney glass was not always the magic mirror. He was the genie in the lamp. He is to grant three wishes, nothing more nothing less. You cannot wish for love or to bring back the dead, etc. The king (Snow's dad) rubs the lamp out comes Sidney. The king wishes to give his wishes to him. The king says he has all that he wants and asks the genie what he wishes for. Sidney wishes to be free and so it is granted. He then says he will keep the other wish and not use it. He puts the lamp into his satchel and the king invites him to stay with him at the palace.
At the palace, the king introduces the genie to his daughter Snow White and his wife the Queen. She looks not so evil and very shy. She talks about her apple tree and how it has been in her family for years. There is a ceremony and the king says he wants to thank his daughter Snow and she is so much like her mother, who died, the fairest in the land. I actually feel slightly bad for Regina here. She doesn't get any love from her husband, no wonder she becomes evil. She walks off and Sidney follows her. He gives her a mirror that says its for her to see herself the way he sees her, as the most beautiful in the land. She writes about it in her diary that she loves another.
The King finds her diary and locks her up for being unfaithful. He calls upon the genie to find out who her heart belongs to. The queen's father (who later she takes his heart) comes to the genie with a locked box. He says the contents are the only thing that can free her. She shows the box to the genie and it is two Askaban snakes (Aladin!) and that with one bite will kill whomever. She says she doesn't want to be a prisoner anymore and will kill herself with these snakes. He says no way, that he loves her and he will kill the king instead.
He goes to let the snakes loose to the king as they creepily climb through his sheets. They bite him and he dies instantly. Before he dies, the genie tells him that the queen's heart belongs to him and he finally has found true love. He goes back to tell the queen and she informs him he must leave the castle at once. They have realized he is the killer. He finally catches on that the queen set him up. Using snakes from his land surely frames him. He says he will not leave her and that he loves her. He uses the last wish to make himself stay with her forever. However, magic is funny sometimes. He ends up in her mirror, trapped there FOREVER. Who knew they had a love affair? I always thought he was gay!
Back at Storybrooke, we see Regina coercing with Sidney. He was in on it the whole time and helped to set Emma up. After he told Emma they now have an alliance. Now she can only talk to Henry from afar and through their walkies. They gaze into each other's eyes and maybe there is a love connection after all.
We end on the strange writer opening Henry's lock box and finding the storybook. Now, does my original theory prove true? Is he the storybook's original writer? Who knows. I cannot wait till the next episode with a play on beauty and the beast, where Mr. Gold is the beast! How creative. I heart this show, big puffy heart sticker it! Do you?
