I have to say this was an amazing episode. The story line, the characters, the elements, I truly loved it. Let's dig in, shall we?
In Fairy Tale World....
Jefferson (played a small stint on Gossip Girl) and his daughter Grace are finding mushrooms in the forest. They are playing hide and seek. On their way back home, they see the Queen's men at their house. He tells her to stay put as he checks it out. He asks Regina (notice he uses her name, not queen for the first time ever in this show) what she is doing there. She asks him to do her a favor and in return he can give Grace everything she has ever wanted. He tells her he no longer does those things and is not interested. He then takes Grace to the market where she wants a bunny rabbit (the white rabbit reference?) and the old woman selling them says he cannot buy it. It really is Regina. He then decides to help the queen because he wants Grace to have everything. She doesn't want him to go, but he promises he will be back for a tea party (another reference). He takes his hat and it opens up as him and the queen jump through it.
It takes them to a room of doors and they walk through one into Wonderland. He laments, he hates Wonderland as the caterpillar blows smoke in their faces and says "Who are you?". They walk through into the red queen's garden. The walls are tricky, so the queen blows fire into them. He tells them that they must stick together, since the rules of the hat are that two who enter, two must leave. They get to their chamber and Regina blows up the guards and gets a small box she was looking for. She says it was stolen from her. The guards are after them and they are almost at the mirror until she stops at a mushroom and takes some of it. She feeds it to the box and her father grows larger and appears. Her and her father are about to leave the mirror as Jefferson begs for her not to go, since he will be stuck there and wont be able to return to Grace. She leaves anyway and the guards get him. The queen, who is under a veil (who is she?) tells the guards off with his head. They do and his head is still alive. She says he can wish it back on and try to get the hat to work again. This is how he ends up mad. He tries and tries to make hats that will work again, but fails, becoming the mad hatter.
In Storybrooke....
Mary Margaret is on the lam. She has escaped and Emma must find her before the arraignment tomorrow morning. She heads off to the woods and almost runs over a man who was walking. She offers to take him home to this extravagant mansion. He invites her in for tea. She drinks it and ends up passing out and being tied up. He explains to her that this is not his life. He is believing of the stories in Henry's book and knows who he is and needs to get back to his world. She frees herself and looks through the telescope to see her office. She then sneaks into another room and sees MM all tied up. She frees her in enough time for her to explain that she was running away, because there was a key in her room and he nabbed her. He catches them and makes her tie up MM again and then tells her he needs her help.
He shows her another telescope and you see Grace, who is now another girl with another family. He says he is her real father and she doesn't know him. But in the other world, she will. He says in order to get there, he needs to make the hat work. She agrees and when his back is turned she hits him with the telescope. She frees MM and he comes after them both where she hits him with a croquet mallet (another reference, I love it!) She then knocks him out the window and when they look down, nothing is left but his hat with a hole in it. Do you think he went back? They escape and MM decides she is not going to run. Emma decides she may believe after all and asks Henry to borrow his book.
The kickers....
Regina goes to see MM, fully knowing she would have escaped, since its probably her skeleton key she planted and sees her there. She is flabbergasted and tells Gold that his plan is ruined. They have been in on it together the whole time, but for what?
Next week we find out why Regina really does hate Snow. I really liked the addition of the mad hatter and Wonderland. I really hope we see more characters. The little mermaid, peter pan, who else would you like to see?
