I really liked this episode, but it seemed to be lacking something for me. At the beginning of the series I thought I wanted more Snow/Charming stuff, but as it's gone on the other stories are doing it more for me. Last week I instantly wanted to watch the episode again, but this week it felt so predictable (for the most part) and almost like any episode of Grey's (or insert drama here) that I wasn't thrilled. Bring me more random Fairy Tale stories that can also tie the Storybrook world in!
And I think Gold knows, but I'm not sure if he's manipulating Storybrook like Regina attempts/wants to (ie the David/Katherine thing).
