Once Upon A Time: Daddy’s Little Wicked Girl!
So the second episode of “Once Upon A Time” just aired . . . and I loved it more than the first! We got some big answers, but a lot more questions of course.
Emma stayed in town, which didn’t sit well with the Mayor. The two ended up in a giant war, each making moves to out do the other. I loved Emma taking a chainsaw to the apple tree. Henry gave Emma some missing pages he tore out of the Fairy Tale book, which the Queen/Mayor now had and was reading (it was Snow White’s to begin with). The missing pages reveal to Emma who she is, and who her parents are, which makes it dangerous if the Queen/Mayor figures that out. Emma also found out that Henry’s teacher? Yeah he thinks she’s Snow White! Emma thought it was all crazy, but by the end of the episode . . . it seemed she was becoming a believer . . . if only try and help Henry. But there were some “connecting moments” between Snow/Mary and Emma. Henry told Emma that nobody here knew their past, question them and she’d see. I don’t know why she just didn’t do so? She would have seen Henry wasn’t nuts.
In the Fairy Tale world we learned that Rumplestilktskin (Mr. Gold) gave the queen “the dark curse” which she traded to Maleficent for her sleeping curse . . . which failed to work on Snow White. I loved the scenes with Kristin Bauer as Maleficent! She was great! She has to come back . . . where in town is she? She has to be there somewhere. Maybe she runs the mattress store? Sleep Number! To enact the curse, the queen had to sacrifice the heart of the thing she loved most . . . which turned out to be her father. What was his name? HENRY! We learned this at the very very end. What a beyotch she was cutting daddy’s heart out. Damn, she’s an evil woman!
In the last few moments . . . this is where more answers and questions came from. Emma destroyed the pages she got from Henry, to try and keep the queen from knowing who she was. Meanwhile Mr. Gold paid the Mayor a visit to let her know that Emma was still in town and with Henry . . . did she need his help getting rid of her? She said she wasn’t making deals with him any more . . . NO not that deal! We learned he brought her Henry (which he asked how she picked such a lovely name?). She wondered how he got Henry, did he do it to bring that Emma woman here on purpose? Who was Emma? Mr. Gold said “I think you know exactly who she is!”
So from these final moments, it would seem both the Mayor/Queen and Rumple/Mr. Gold both have the memories? I’m confused! I’m for sure positive Gold has his . . . it’s his curse after all. I’m not 100 % sure on the Mayor/Queen though. The only deal she seemed to think she ever made with him was for Henry. Has she forgotten? Is he trying to make her remember? I’m leaning towards that.
What did you all think? Next week’s episode looks amazing! I’m dying to know what Snow stole from the Queen. One would think it’s Prince Charming, but it seems whatever Snow White did . . . it killed the person the Queen love. Is that symbolic speek or real talk? Is Snow White not the innocent we think she might be?
Did the show mention any relationship between the evil queen and snow white? In the story the queen is her step-mother. Perhaps snow white’s father was the evil queen’s true love ut died protecting his daughter? Just a total guess.
I was surprised that Emma told Henry all that stuff about project Cobra and the missing book pages in front of the Jiminy Cricket therapist guy. I would have figured that his office was bugged or at the very least he would report to the mayor/queen.
The show was good (can’t wait for next week with prince charming) but man, were there ever a lot of commercials!

They haven’t yet, and based on their ages it’s like their more rivals than anything. But who knows!

Maleficient did say to the evil queen, “You were about Snow White’s age when you were suppose to get married” (something along those lines), so it could be Snow White’s dad that she was talking about. Plus she is an evil queen and wouldn’t necessarily have to age if she didn’t want to. I do think that the queen knows that having Emma around is bad (and not just because of Henry) but can’t exactly place it yet.

Anyone else think Snow will run as mayor of the town?
