Once Upon a Time: Dreamy

Interesting background story on this episode. I had no idea that dwarfs were hatched from eggs and that names could be changed. I mean, until the other week, I had no idea there was an 8th dwarf named Stealthy. Haha. Let's begin, shall we?

In Fairy Tale Land....

Fairies Nova and her boss are in the sky. They are talking about how Nova (Amy Acker, who has been busy on Grimm as well, Buffy, Angel and dollhouse crossover) wants to be a fairy godmother. She needs to practice more however says the blue fairy. There are a bunch of eggs being hatched and one is covered in her fairy dust. When that egg breaks early, it is our lovable grumpy who says he dreamt of this fairy angel. When all of the rest of his brothers hatch, they get their axes that show their names. His is dreamy. They are told they love to mine, whistle while they work, never leave the mine and ground up diamonds into fairy dust.

Nova comes over to get her bag of fairy dust but cannot shut off the valve. Dreamy saves her and also saves her fairy dust from going into the fire. She calls him her hero. They talk about the fireflies and how they should meet up to see them. He tells her that anything she dreams can happen.

Him and his brothers go to have food in town. He is talking about how cannot eat, sleep or be himself. Belle, who is sitting in the background, who must have just gotten dumped by Rumple, chimes in about him being in love. He runs off to meet Nova and watch the fireflies. They talk about getting a boat and sailing away together to see the world. He tries to sneak out, but stealthy catches him. His brothers hug him and wish him well. On his way to meet Nova he runs into his boss and the blue fairy. The blue fairy tells him that Nova will get her wings clipped and never be a fairy godmother if they run off together. He loves her so much that he tells her they cannot run away together. She is heart broken, but realizes he was influenced by the blue fairy.

He goes back to work and starts mining away. His ax breaks, because he is so mad. They give him a new one and his name is no longer dreamy, it becomes grumpy. I am a bit confused, since we learned that he proposed to the love of his life (Nova?) with a ring that was not real and got sent to prison. Does this tie in somehow? I thought his name got changed to grumpy then, but I could be remembering wrong.


In Storybrook....

MM is to sell candles for annual miner's day. Nobody in town wants to help her since she is the town harlot. Leroy (grumpy) doesn't want to sign up either. He runs into sister Astrid (Nova) and helps her out with her lights project. He is smitten by her and turns into all smiles. He tells her he will help her sell the candles, since Astrid by accident ordered 12 dozen, not 12 helium tanks that are non returnable. If they are late on their rent to Mr. Gold, he will revoke them. The nuns? Really?

Him and MM try to sell the candles but no luck. He even tries to sell his boat to Mr. Gold to let him ease back on the nun's rent. He refuses and says he hates dealing with them. I guess the fairies did something to him in the other world. Grumpy comes up with a plan and kills all the lights causing people to buy all the candles from them and making enough money to help out Astrid. Leroy and Snow, who were once friends, help each other because they can relate. They both were in love with people that they shouldn't be.

Meanwhile, Kathryn is still missing. Emma confronts David, but he says he hadn't heard from her. Sydney, who is still working with Regina, gets the phone records and we found out that there was an 8 minute call between her and David. Emma must bring David in for questioning now. Where could she be? Do you think that Regina locked her away like she did to Belle?

Leroy tells Astrid about how he is fixing up his boat to sail the world and invites her to come. She agrees and they smile. It seems that nobody who actually belongs together ends up together in storybrook. What a shame.

Are we excited to see next week and the story of red riding hood? You know I am!
