Once Upon A Time 2.8 "Into the Deep" Review

                                              
Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) comes down from the beanstalk and the compass has eluded him.  Cora (Barbara Hershey) is waiting below and tells him he betrayed her.  They will get to Storybrooke together.  Cora using their fave word again when she asks who bested him.  He chose Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and there are consequences for that betrayal.  She's going on ahead without him. She doesn't need him.  Cora vanishes into her purple smoke as she vanishes leaving him to fall flat on his face.  Think he deserved that!

Cora raises the dead to help her, look the walking dead!  Aurora (Sarah Bolger) sees Henry (Jared S Gilmore) in his dream.  Snow (Ginnifer Goodwin) doesn't think it was a dream as she's been in that room and they've both been through the sleeping curse.  Snow was protecting Aurora by not telling her.  They have a way home, a compass and she knows Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle) will know how to stop her.  So she appears to Henry again.  Henry tells them they have to defeat Regina's mother.

Rumples/Gold has that burger with Belle (Emilie de Ravin) when Regina (Lana Parrilla) needs to talk.  She can speak in front of Belle, telling him Cora is on her way here.  He's adamant he's more powerful than her and the only one who needs to be worried is Regina.  Also that Regina told him she was dead.  He taught Cora well.  He tells Henry he can go back and tells him a story about how Snow and Charming (Josh Dallas) captured him and locked him up using a quill.  The ink was the weapon not the quill.  It was from a mermaid far below the ocean, harvested from a squid.  It's in his jail cell.  Question being why's it in his jail cell?  Cos they didn't know the power was in the ink.  Then again Rumples did so he didn't remove it from there and continued with the subterfuge.  However Henry can't get this message to her since Aurora is swept away.  Mulan (Jamie Chung) notices the burn on Aurora's arm but she still wants to help them.  It doesn't matter if they're strangers.

Cora's zombies catch up to them and they must fight.  Emma can't keep that compass safe, it's always in her hand.  Mulan takes Aurora and runs and she's taken by Cora.  Cora wants her help but she refuses even when she tries to convince her she can bring back Phillip.  The wraith only take souls to another realm, how many are there anyway?

Snow thinks there's a way to find out Gold's message since Snow has also been through the sleeping curse.  But Mulan hasn't any sleeping powder left.  She needs more poppies.  Charming decides to take Henry's place since it'll be too dangerous for him and Regina agrees.  He must be put to sleep.  Regina concocts the potion.  She hasn't used magic since getting rid of Daniel and she's trying really hard.  She will need to use it when Cora arrives.  Charming must prick his finger with his blood after the potion has been put onto the blade attached to the spinning wheel.  Charming thinks Snow will wake him with true love's kiss.  He won't go to the fiery, disco floored room since he hasn't been under the curse and must find his way there.

Charming ends up in a hall of mirrors surrounded by fire lanterns.  Whilst Mulan crushes the seeds and blows them onto Snow.  She arrives in the room looking for Henry.  Charming sees the talisman light up and drops it onto the floor, it's hot.  Thus the fiery room is underneath. Crashing through he finally sees Snow and gives her the message but they can't kiss since they're in different worlds.  So it's Charming's turn to remain under the spell.  \He has faith they will find each other as they always do.  SO why didn't he say that last ep when Red had to tell him he will get them back.

Mulan has disappeared with the compass, see Emma can't do a simple thing like that and look after it.  Hook rescues Aurora by letting her go since he wants to prove to Emma he can be trusted.  He however has an ulterior motive.  Cora finds him there and traps him removing his hook to take his heart but he has a gift for her.  It's a heart.  This way she can manipulate Aurora as she tells the others about Hook.  Cora will know where they're heading and get their first.

Seems Hook isn't as innocent as he looks  and beneath that pretty boy exterior lies a devious mind.  He wants to get back to Storybrooke for revenge.  Obviously he will have to stoop to such measures when he's dealing with Aurora.  SO how did Hook take her heart? When she was sleeping?  She's being held captive and still manages to fall asleep.  Charming shows once again why he's a prince even though he's always called a shepherd by George.  He put it all on the line to get his family back and shows his faith this episode.  Snow showing true emotion at losing him but this time loses her faith.  Think Snow should take hold of that compass!

Gold: "Condiments are this world's magic."  Also he uses "dearie" again!
Hook: "surprise is fun of the gift giving."
