So the ice cream lady is apparently the Snow Queen and she’s cursed Marian to become frozen! And she’s also, apparently, Elsa’s aunt and was trapped in the urn before Elsa was. Interesting that Elsa’s mother never thought to tell her scared daughter that ice powers run in the family! And Emma finally pushes past some of her trust issues with Hook!

Summary: Marian becomes frozen and True Love’s Kiss doesn’t work when Robin tries to save her. Hook resorts to blackmail to find out who else has powers like Elsa. In the past, Elsa and Kristoff fight Hans and his brothers and end up discovering a long-lost relative.

Opening: Any Given Sundae

New Characters:

Will Scarlet: He’s apparently an outcast from the Merry Men. How he’s come to be in Storybrooke is a mystery. He’s a thief and will always be a thief. The most helpful thing he does is show Emma and David that the ice cream shop doesn’t use anything to keep the ice cream cold. (For those that don’t know, Will was a favorite on the spin-off Once Upon a Time in Wonderland)

Character Observations:

The Snow Queen: She doesn’t have a name in Arendelle or Storybrooke yet, but Emma refers to her as the Snow Queen, so that’s what we’re going with. In Arendelle, she is revealed to have been trapped in the urn Hans was going to use to trap Elsa. Instead, the Snow Queen freezes Hans and scares his brothers away. She is revealed to be Elsa’s mother’s sister.

In Storybrooke, she is determined to make people think that Elsa is behind all the freezing mayhem that is going on. She does some kind of magic to Marian’s ice cream cone which eventually makes her frozen. She attempts to kill Hook in order to make it look like Elsa did it. Luckily, Emma comes and saves him. But the Snow Queen clearly knows Emma somehow, even if she doesn’t remember. Elsa also doesn’t remember her, but the Snow Queen tells her the Rock Trolls took her memories like they did with Anna when she was younger. She eventually disappears. We later see her talking to Gold. He offers to help her, which she rejects. He also warns her about Emma remembering her.

Regina: How the hell did she run a kingdom when she is terrible at subterfuge? She attempts to hook Henry in by buying him comic books and then makes obvious comments about how the storybook doesn’t have an author. Henry sees through her immediately. She goes on about finding the author and getting her happy ending. Henry, instead of telling her that’s not how this works, tells her it’s her best idea yet. Oy vey! Meanwhile, Marian has been frozen and Robin asks for her help to reverse whatever curse has been put upon her. It’s interesting that she automatically blames Elsa, when she, herself, has been unjustly accused of magical things happening in Storybrooke that ended up being other people (Cora in The Cricket Game).  She claims she’s trying to change, but she still jumps to conclusions at the first chance she gets. Elsa says only an act of true love can save Marian, so Robin kisses her, which doesn’t work. David claims the ice is acting as a barrier like when Frederick was turned to gold in What Happened to Frederick, but Robin later tells Regina it didn’t work because he’s in love with someone else. Regina takes it with grace, since he and Marian are technically still married. They decide to take Marian’s heart so she’s not frozen completely, and Regina can work on reversing the curse.

Emma: Her magic is acting wonky, but she won’t admit it. Regina calls her out on it when she goes to try and figure out what caused the freezing spell on Marian. Emma thinks she’s still mad about her bringing Marian back in the first place. Which, she’s not wrong, but also, neither is Regina. Hook wants to go with her, but she tells him to take Elsa to the sheriff’s station to protect her from the townspeople who think she’s responsible for Marian. Hook doesn’t want to leave Emma, but she gets angry and asks him to just listen to her for once. At Robin’s tent, Emma comes across former Merry Man, Will Scarlet. He runs when he finds out she’s the sheriff, but is taken down by David. Will gives them information about the ice cream shop’s ice cream still being frozen hours after the blackout happened. Will attempts to pick the lock of the ice cream shop to show them, but Emma gets impatient and does it for him, much to David’s surprise. They discover that Will was telling the truth when they see the back room is frozen. And also Will takes off and steals money from the till. Emma wants to go after him, but David says they have more important things to do concerning Marian and she can go after Will another time. Emma expresses self-doubt about her abilities, but David tries to lift her spirits. Emma and David arrive to the Snow Queen trying to kill Hook. The Snow Queen taunts Emma that her magic isn’t stronger than hers, but Emma knocks her back with a blast of magic and manages to magic David and Hook out of the way of the falling icicles. After the Snow Queen disappears, Emma tells David and Hook that the way the Snow Queen said her name sounded familiar, like she’d heard it before. Hook offers to help look for her lair, but Emma gets pissed at him for not following her directions and almost getting himself killed. Emma talks to Elsa who is upset that the Snow Queen told her that Anna put her in the urn. Emma thinks they’re all pawns for something bigger, since Emma brought Elsa there accidentally, but the Snow Queen was already there. Emma doesn’t think the curse brought her to Storybrooke. Emma runs into Hook outside of Granny’s and she’s not happy with his shenanigans. He accuses her of not trusting him, but Emma tells him the truth. She does trust him, but she’s afraid he’s going to get himself killed since every other guy she’s been with is dead. Hook promises her he’s a survivor and they start kissing in the middle of the street!

Hook: He certainly does not like being told what to do, which gets him in trouble with Emma, but not for the reasons he thinks. We start with him, Emma, and Elsa questioning Gold about how Elsa and the urn ended up in his vault. He claims not to know. Hook isn’t buying his BS about turning over a new leaf for a second. Even when Belle compels him to tell the truth with the dagger, you can tell he’s not buying it. Emma, Elsa, and Hook go to the mayor’s office when Marian has been frozen. Emma goes to look for whomever is responsible and Hook wants to go with her. He’s very upset when she asks him to take Elsa to the sheriff’s station instead. Immediately, Hook and Elsa decide not to follow Emma’s orders and take the investigation into their own hands. By going to Gold’s shop and blackmailing him. Can I just say how much this pains me to see Hook stooping so low when he’s trying to prove to Emma how trustworthy he is? To secretly go to Gold and blackmail him because he knows Belle doesn’t have the real dagger to get what he wants is the opposite of everything he’s trying to prove to Emma. I mean, I know it does help them find out where the ice cream lady/Snow Queen is, but using a way that harkens back to his villainous days is not the way to go about it. Sigh. Gold changes a piece of Marian’s frozen hair into snowflakes that leads Hook and Elsa to the Snow Queen. Hook attempts to call Emma, but she doesn’t answer and has to leave a message (the crux of which is, why did she get him a phone if she never answers it, lol). When Hook and Elsa attempt to leave to go find Emma (since she’s not answering the phone), Hook’s feet are frozen by the Snow Queen. Luckily, Emma saves him before the Snow Queen’s plan to kill him takes place. Later that night, Hook is drinking at Granny’s and Emma’s still pissed at him. He accuses her of not trusting him, but she says she does trust him. She’s just afraid of him getting killed. He tells her he’s a survivor before kissing her. And, this is the first time Hook has initiated a kiss with Emma, she’s initiated it every other time. Hot! Hot! Hot!

Elsa and Kristoff: In Arendelle, Elsa is freaking out over Anna. Kristoff is trying to calm her down by relaying all of Anna’s heroic feats, but Elsa is stressing big time. She then gets a report that Hans has an army and is heading towards Arendelle. Kristoff wants to go see what’s up, but Elsa won’t let him, using his status as Anna’s groom as her reasoning. He goes out anyway and overhears Hans telling his brothers about a magical urn. Kristoff reports back to Elsa that it can contain magical beings like her. He wants to bring some soldiers to go destroy the urn. Elsa wants to avoid war. She suggests just she and Kristoff go. Elsa almost walks herself off a cliff while she and Kristoff have a heart to heart. They get to the cave with the urn and Elsa goes to destroy it, but then some runes show up on it, and she’s trying to decipher them when Hans and his brothers enter. Elsa fights off two of them with her ice powers, and Kristoff dispatches another with a sword, but then Hans gets the drop on Kristoff and threatens to make Anna a widow if Elsa doesn’t hand over the urn (and Kristoff, with a sword to his neck, still makes a joke that he and Anna aren’t married so she wouldn’t technically be a widow). Elsa ends up giving Hans the urn, despite Kristoff’s protests. Hans continues to be the worst person ever by telling Elsa that she doesn’t belong anywhere so he’s going to put her in the urn like she doesn’t exist, which plays on all of Elsa’s magic insecurities. But surprise, surprise, when he opens the urn to put her inside, the Snow Queen comes out instead. And she freezes Hans and his brothers run off. Elsa is in heaven meeting someone who has ice powers like herself. They compare stories about making snowmen come to life and building ice castles. The Snow Queen sees the painting of Elsa’s parents and lets her know Elsa’s mother was her sister, making her Elsa’s aunt. Elsa is understandably confused as her mother never mentioned a sister. Elsa lets her know her mother was lost at sea and it’s just her and Anna now. She tells her how scared she is that Anna is missing, and the Snow Queen promises she’ll help her find her, because that is what family does.

In Storybrooke, Elsa is accused of using her powers to freeze Marian. Emma wants her and Hook to stay at the sheriff’s station, but they go looking for whomever actually froze Marian. They eventually find the Snow Queen in the woods. The Snow Queen wants the town to turn against Elsa and she doesn’t understand why. She tells Elsa the Rock Trolls stole her memories of when they met in Arendelle, but doesn’t say why. She also tells Elsa that Anna put her in the urn. Elsa is adamant that Anna would never do that.

Mary Margaret: She attempts to have a ‘fireside chat’ as the mayor to go over items in the town (complete with baby Neal in her arms), but all anyone wants to talk about is Elsa.Things go south quickly when Marian starts literally turning to ice. After the meeting, Mary Margaret gets some unsolicited advice from Archie about needing to let things go, meaning she doesn’t need to have baby Neal with her constantly and she’ll be better if they aren’t attached at the hip. Mary Margaret is obviously afraid she’ll miss something if she isn’t there with him constantly because of missing out on Emma growing up.

Questions:

Why isn’t Emma’s lie detector blaring when Gold says he’s decided to turn over a new leaf? Or when he says he’s given Belle the dagger? There should be sirens going off in her head.

Exactly how far away is Misthaven from Arendelle? With all the magic going on in the Enchanted Forest, how have they not heard of it in Arendelle?

Since the Snow Queen acknowledges Elsa is queen, why didn’t she realize her sister would have to be dead for that to happen? She seems genuinely shocked when Elsa tells her.

How did Elsa’s urn end up in Gold’s vault? Did the Snow Queen give it to Rumple since we know they know each other?

Have Gold and the Snow Queen been talking since the curse broke? How does he know that she knew Emma once? Does that mean the Snow Queen has been out of Storybrooke?

Observations:

This is the most casual we’ve ever seen Regina. Her hair is in a messy ponytail and she’s wearing a t-shirt and vest!

Emma looks amazing in this episode also. She’s letting her freckles shine through, and she just looks cute as a button.

The two comic books we see Regina get Henry are Thor and ShenLu.

Regina and Henry decide their search for the author will be called Operation Mongoose.

Hook tells Gold that he could have Belle summon him with the dagger and when he didn’t appear she’d have proof the dagger isn’t real. We’ve seen plenty of times when all someone had to do is say Rumpelstiltskin's name (even in other realms) and he’d appear.

The cage that Kristoff puts his torch in is already lit when he and Elsa enter the cave. Then he lights it again. Or there is another cage already lit, which should be a red flag that someone is already in the cave.

Hook now has a cell phone and it has an ‘Emma’ button.

Once Upon a Time Firsts:

Magic can change form but never be destroyed.

So, we find out a little bit more about the Snow Queen, but not what her end goal is yet. She is obviously very bitter about something having to do with her magic and people fearing it, and she doesn’t seem to care if people are okay with it like they are in Storybrooke. I am not happy about Hook blackmailing Gold as it just goes against everything he’s worked so hard to put in his past. But Emma and Hook seem to be getting on the right path for being together despite that! Yay!

Once Upon A Time Rewatch: 4x03 Rocky Road

“*Crying* I feel like I’m going down a rocky road myself!” All the cookies if you get that reference.

Regina Rising Spoilers: Claire thought Geppetto was a ‘crazy carpenter’. Regina is slightly ginger-ist apparently (“…with the most unfortunate shade of orange hair”), which honestly explains a lot xD! When Snow was 7 or 8, she never wanted to be married. Regina met Snow at that age when Regina was 16. So, if Snow was 10 when she told the secret then Regina must have been 18 or 19 when she was to be Married to Leopold. Regina must be 8 or 9 years older than Snow. I always thought there was like a 6-year gap. How come Snow and Regina didn’t seem to know each other when Regina saved her from the horse? Regina also met the blue fairy when she was 16. It seemed like Regina’s touch burned the Blue Fairy when they touched, apparently because the fairy magic is pure. When Regina was young, she was horrified by the bones of children in the Blind Witch’s house. Wtf is wrong with the Blind Witch?! The apple was already poisoned with a sleeping curse before Regina got the curse from Maleficent!! She didn’t need to get the curse from Maleficent! What the hell?!

Back to the rewatch.

 “And Ice Cream!” Get this adorable hobbit child a cone with 4 scoops! 

“Please mum. Regina let me.” Omg this manipulative child xD!

Wtf Ingrid?! What did Marian ever do to you?! Unless she knows it’s Zelena. I’ve always wondered if she could sense that ‘Marian’ was using a glamour spell or something. Maybe Zelena went for an ice cream back in 3b and didn’t get the flavour she wanted so through it in Ingrid’s face. You never know. Otherwise, what reason would she have to do that to her?

Did Marelena just bite into that ice cream?! I suppose that makes sense ‘cause she’s not supposed to know how to eat one. I bet Zelena is regretting that decision.

Marelena! Noooo!

The book doesn’t work like that though, Reggie. It records what’s already happened. Unless, of course, Isaac meddled with her story and actions.

I guess we’ll never know if Robin and the real Marian shared true love. I like to think they did because they’re my favourite pairing for Robin.

Yay! ‘What Happened to Frederick’ mention! Love that episode!

I love Sven. He’s a lot sassier in Ouat.

Elsa can just freeze Hans’ and his brothers’ asses temporarily.

Oh God. I hate heights. They should totally have used a giant slide, or a trampoline (cookies if you get that reference!).

Wait, Robin and Marian live in a tent? I totally forgot about that.

Will! Love Will! Just rewatched OUAT in Wonderland. I Highly recommend if you haven’t seen it. But the monsters are scary-looking as hell!

“Two Sheriffs? Bloody hell. That’s not even fair, is it?”

When I think of it, Killian changes a lot from season 4 to five. He becomes a lot more serious. Which makes sense considering he’s got a lot on in that season. I’ve always thought it was just Emma who changed but Killian changed too. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t ship them after season 4. It felt like shipping different characters. 

Cryokinesis is such a cool power! One of my special interests is superpowers and I have to say, cryokinesis is one of my favourites. It’s very useful in battle. Just look at Iceman! My dude Bobby Drake is an omega level mutant! Users of that ability can be so freaking powerful. 

Elsa looks so happy to see someone like her. 

Elsa could have totally fought all of them single-handedly. Freeze all their hands and your safe!

Ingrid coming out of the urn looks like Voldemort resurrecting in the Goblet of fire.

Did the rock trolls take Elsa’s memories? I thought it was Ingrid. I’m so confused.

Ingrid, you are lying! What you did to Marelena was no accident!

Oh, she did it because she wanted them to blame Elsa! 

Ingrid can neutralise Elsa’s magic?! Can she neutralise other people’s magic too?

“Hey! Dairy Queen!”

Ingrid go weeee!

Aww. Elsa and Ingrid bonding over their powers is so cute! I wish Ingrid could have been satisfied with just being Elsa and Anna’s auntie?

He certainly was a survivor until the s4 finale where he subsequently died like 3 times.

Ingrid’s feet must be hurting, walking barefoot in the forest like that.

Woah! Rumple gave me a fright lol! How’d he know she’d be there?

Why is Rumple so willing to help Ingrid? I thought he was trying to turn over a new leaf. Naughty Rumple!

[shadowedoracle]

Regina and Henry are one of my favourite things about the start of Season 4. It’s generally kind of frustrating from a Rumple/ Belle perspective, individually and together, as you’re seeing, well I like the first episode even though I get annoyed when Rumple takes the dagger back. But the Regal Believer stuff is stuff is good.

I admit I don’t love “White Out” as a whole that much (I don’t hate it just don’t love it) so hadn’t bothered to rewatch it for ages but when I did I was reminded that I love the complete insanity of Little Bo Peep being like a Warlord or whatever she is supposed to be exactly. Also Mary Margaret yelling at everyone and then when she has some quiet just fixing the whole situation is very funny.

Admittedly my favourite scene from isn’t even in the episode but is a deleted scene between Rumple and Henry. I really wish it hadn’t been cut as it’s so good. The sound is kind of quiet but it is on Youtube here.

4x02-03 OUAT thoughts

I fell asleep for a bit there so I only watched a few more. I'll probably head to bed here soon.

1) Dave and Anna are a amazing team-up and I can't believe I didn't think of that earlier.

2) Mary Margret had me dieing when she yelled at the others while trying to fix the power outage 😂 they need to give her more comedy.

3) Regina and Henry in both episodes!! I love them so much

4) Ugggh Rumple and Hook standoff where he threatens to tell Belle

5) IDK who this new Ice Queen is or how she knows Emma but I'm curious! And how Rumple is involved as always

Why do you keep pulling away from me?  Because everyone I’ve ever been with is dead. Neal and Graham, even Walsh. I lost everyone. I can’t lose you too.

Brave, Frozen, Maleficent and Wonder Woman

This theory is linked to my first.

BRAVE

Brave was released by Disney Pixar on june 22, 2012.

We'll see for the first time Merida on Once Upon a Time during season 5.

We know Emma's reactions when she interacts with a fantasy character. She's sassy and ironic but when she meets Merida that doesn't happen. Emma is confused.

Emma doens't know her, she never saw “Brave” because she was already in coma. 

FROZEN

Same here:

Frozen was released by Disney on November 27, 2013.

The events of Frozen on Once Upon a Time happened during the year of 2014. 

3x22-4x01-4x02: We are at end of 2013 and at the beginning of 2014

4x03 “Rocky Road”

It’s summer in Storybrooke!

The timeline remains a mess, it can change in every moment or episode.

4x05 “Breaking Glass”

It can be autumn? Maybe.

4x10 “Shattered Sight”

Post Halloween. Is it November or it’s already December?

4x11 “Heroes and Villains”

4x17 “Heart of Gold”

I think our math is good! We’re in december :) 

MALEFICENT

Maleficent was released by Disney on May 30, 2014.

Our Maleficent before the movie was quite difference 

The arc of “The Queens of Darkness” began at the end of December 2014 and at the beginning of 2015 and we can see the influence by Maleficent's movie.  Mal seems Angelina Jolie.

4x14 “Enter the Dragon”

Aurora's humming “Once Upon A Dream”, now we have two options:

It can be the first and original soundrack of the movie “The Sleeping Beauty” or is the cover singed by Lana del Rey.

Emma has never seen these movies but she knows their plots through her son, Regina and also visitors. 

WONDER WOMAN 

Released on June 2, 2017.

What about where we’re picking up with Regina in the Enchanted Forest?

Lana Parrilla: She’s awesome. I don’t know why I keep thinking of Robin Wright in Wonder Woman, you know how she’s just this powerful warrior goddess? That’s what I see Regina as a little bit in this new fairy-tale land, because it’s years later, so there’s a time lapse. It’s like five to seven years later. We’ve gone on this journey with Regina over the years where she’s always having to learn these lessons, and now I feel like she is teaching them. She’s a bit of a mentor and a bit of an advisor and can see things from an aerial viewpoint, whereas before she was so reactive to things. She was calculated, but she was more reactive to things. Now I feel like she’s not as quick to react. She sits back, observes, and then responds, and that’s different for her. It just shows a level of maturity and growth.
