I cannot stand her. Still, I felt sorry for her being pushed into the pool of souls. Rumpel continues to be irredeemable.
I really don't like what they're doing with Rumple's character. It feels that he's not growing or learning anything from his mistakes. When he actually shows signs of growth or change they have him regress back just so they can keep him being the bad guy. They redeemed him in 3B by having him sacrifice himself to save his loved ones, only to have him come back exactly the same. Then, last season he overcomes his fears and his obsession with power, proving he doesn't need them, that he can be strong and brave without them, just to have him become the same ol' Dark One again. Now, he killed his son's mother for the second time, depriving him of a relationship with her yet again, and denying her the chance to be forgiven and have their bond mended. This coming from a man whose raison d'etre was doing right by his son and fixing his past mistakes with him.

Me neither. They didn't explain that adequately. I hope they show Snow and David searching for their parents' gravestones. Don't they want to know whether their parents are stuck in the Underworld or not? Also, why isn't Regina curious as to where her mother disappeared?
The writers are really playing fast and loose with what counts as unfinished business. The Apprentice is there because he needs to stop Henry from using the quill to resurrect Cruella? His unfinished business involved something that hadn't happened at the time of his death. Those sailors couldn't pass on until they found out the truth about Liam's deal with Hades? How is it your unfinished business if it has nothing to do with anything you did (or didn't do)? It makes no sense.
The
Zelena-Hades romance just seems silly, judging by next week's
promo. They don't seem to have any chemistry together and I find it difficult taking their relationship seriously. Riding a bicycle together? Really?
I wonder if there's a chance
Zelena's baby is not actually Robin's but Hades' instead. I somehow doubt it though.
