Oh Regina...The poor woman has such terrible fortune. Once Marian was unfrozen, she and Robin had to put her heart back in and save her (Why couldn't she just die?!). Things started to look up when Marian said that she just wanted to be happy and could tell he wasn't happy unless he was with Regina. She said she would let Robin decide who to go with and step out of the way. Yay Marian! You finally did something right! Of course they could not just let Regina be happy. About 30 seconds after Robin kissed Regina and told her how much he loved her, Marian had a sudden relapse and fell down half-frozen. Apparently, the only way to save Marian was to send her outside the town and she could never return. However, Regina was too nice and couldn't let Marian go out in the world on her own. For some reason, Robin and Roland were the only two who seemed fit to go with her. Once they left, they would never be able to return. Ugh! All I can say is if they don't bring Robin back, I'm not going to be okay. I don't care if Sean Maguire is filming a movie! Robin can't just leave like that!
At the very beginning of the episode, Rumpel threatened Hook saying that he was living his last day. Well, that was a bunch of bologne. Since season 2, Rumpel has been threatening to kill Hook, and he never has. Honestly, I really believe the writers are smart enough to know that they might lose a very large portion of (mainly teenage girl) viewers if they kill off Hook. I will admit though, I was more than a little nervous. After they killed Neal last season, I don't even know anymore. However, my initial prediction was correct. Rumpel surely tried his hardest to kill Hook, but he couldn't. As Colin O'Donoghue put it on Twitter, Hook was "Saved by the Belle". Belle had found some special secret gauntlet (confusing, I know, I didn't get it either) and it lead her to Rumpel's dagger which somehow meant that Rumpel's true love was his power. In my opinion, that was all a little vague, but anyways Hook is alive and well. In the end of the episode, he and Emma shared a kiss and melted my heart.
Belle finally caught on. It took her way too long, but last episode, she finally realized that Rumpel was all about that power and was using her. She saved Hook (I am eternally grateful) and in the process, she found out what Rumpel was doing. In a tearful ending, Belle used Rumpel's dagger to send him over the town line. Supposedly, that means he will never be able to return. I know I should be happy that Rumpel was finally seen for what he really is, but I couldn't help but feel bad for him. Robert Carlyle is amazing, and I really believed he was scared when faced with never seeing Storybrooke again. In his final few moments, I think he finally saw his fault, but it was too late. I hate to admit it, but I was crying like a baby through the whole thing.
Rumpel was seen wandering through the streets of New York at the very end of the episode. He seemed to be recruting Ursula, Cruella, and Maleficent to help him most likely attack Storybrooke. We also got a glimpse of Regina, Emma, and Henry in the house of who we think is the author of the story. Maybe she will finally get her happy ending.
The way this season is shaping up, it looks like this is going to be the end, but one never knows. So far, however, nothing has been confirmed. Tune in to ABC in March when OUaT restarts to find out more. Until then, I'll be watching Downton Abbey starting on January 4th. I can't wait! Merry Christmas and I'll blog again after the holidays!
