A big new character debuts tonight but will she be the cute,
charming Tinker Bell that lights up the Disney castle or the snotty one who
nearly got Wendy and Peter killed? Let’s find out Oncers…
Our company once again traipses through the woods. Charming is
struggling to keep up and Snow teases him, “David Nolan let himself go?” Just
as they’re getting close to the camp, as indicated by the map, it moves. As the
bickering about what to do next starts up, Hook helpfully suggests they seek
out a fairy he knew in Neverland. She might be able to help them find
Henry/take care of Pan.
The leader of the Lost Boys is currently waking up Henry
with the offering of an apple. Henry refuses the treat. “It’s a family thing,”
he says. But Pan only wants him to use it for target practice. Henry is egged
on to shoot a poisoned arrow at an apple on Felix’s head. He wisely tries to
shoot Pan instead, who deftly catches the arrow and looks rather pleased with
Henry’s decision.
Cut to the Dark Castle where Neal is frantically looking for
something to use to make a portal to Neverland. He deduces that Henry must be
the boy Pan was looking for all that time ago. The loud rummaging has summoned
Robin Hood’s men, including Little John. He shows up with Robin’s son in tow
and Neal suddenly has an idea.
We flashback to the Enchanted Forest from long ago where Rumple
interrupts Regina’s lunch. She missed her lesson today and is thinking of
giving up on them altogether. A future like Rumple’s doesn’t appeal to her and
she’s already most of the way there. She’s unhappy with her marriage and everything
else in her life. He insists she keep up with her learning dark magic before
vanishing. In a fit of frustration, Regina she bangs on the balcony railing,
which gives way. She plummets towards the ground but a cloud of magical dust
catches her. She’s just been saved by Tinker Bell.
