Once Upon A Time 6.7 "Heartless" Review

                                                 Image result for once upon a time heartless photos
The Evil Queen (Lana Parilla) who always wanted to get her claws into Snow's (Ginnifer Goodwin) heart now finds another way to do so.  She finds a way to take out their hearts and hold their hearts to ransom with a potion, which is actually from Rumples (Robert Carlyle) and his vial of water from the Lost Souls river which Regina tells them they brought back.  Anyway so was thinking in the next ep when the Dragon told her she shouldn't have released her dark side it was meant to stay within her, a clue to defeating her this season and putting her evil side back inside of her so she can keep her in check.  As he said they all have a dark side and she was meant to keep hers.

This ep also giving a chance to make another version of how Charming (Josh Dallas) and Snow met, only he didn't realize it was her otherwise that would've spoiled their very first meeting.  You see he saves her from the woodcutter and he always finds her even when they didn't know each other. Regina tells them of a sapling.  They must find it but if they do then Rumples and the Queen will also know what they're up to.  Their search leads them all the way to the brook where Snow found Charming when he was in hospital.  The sapling is in a cave and when they touch it, they have flashbacks to everything that happened between them and how true love's kiss always led them to each other.  However their plan to distract Rumples and the Queen fails when she realizes that Zelena's (Rebecca Mader) note was written by Regina, as she turns up to find them both ti the hot throes of passion!  Ha.  Or as heated as these two could get!  The Queen admitting she always had a bit of a thing for the Dark One, dearie!  As does Regina, though nothing happened.  Which isn't how the Queen wants to leave things!

David as the shepherd finds he needs to leave in order to find a buyer for his livestock and the farm cos they're not making ends meet and his mother actually packs him off to Longbourne to do so. (Longbourn being the home of the Bennett's in Pride and Prejudice.)  Snow also having the same plan to go there but for different reasons, as she tells Blue (Keegan Connor Tracy) she needs to escape Regina.   As she'll always be hunted in the Enchanted Forest.  Of course their paths had to meet, as David meets the woodcutter who knocks him out whilst taking him the same route. Pointless scene cos he turns out to be the one who has the showdown with him, kills him and rescues Snow. Who pays him for his rescue so he can save his farm; mentioning a corrupt nobleman she can raid for funds.

Snow realizes that part of the story wasn't in their vision flashbacks and so realizes that they will always find each other and come to the town's help by willing to make the sacrifice.  The Queen has other plans however and not only does she take their hearts but she ensured Snow suffers the pain of losing each other.  She puts her under a sleeping curse and Charming finds her as he always does and as they kiss he gets the curse too.  Regina saying when one's awake the other sleeps, so they'll not see each other at the same time.

Emma's "oh my God" when she reveals she had a thang for Rumples, well she would, she was lonely having lost her true love, so naturally she'd develop some sort of feelings for him and he was also teaching her magic so he was always there to form some sort of bond, however misguided that was.   The Enchanted Forest showing how the sapling grew when they both met for the first time and their seeds of love were planted.  So how did it get in the cave?  Apparently Emma (Jennifer Morrison) being the outcome of true love and thus becoming the saviour doesn't explain much, still there's no hints on how she can save herself and stop her tremors.  She hasn't really done much of late.

Still the Belle/Rumples fiasco continues and she's not going to find any good in him and stop being a coward by a photo of an ultrasound.  If anything it'd make him more determined to find some way to ensure their son recalls him as someone worth knowing and that he gets a chance to know him.  As well as finding a way to ensure he's worthy of his son's love as Belle (Emilie de Ravin) tells him. What happened to Wilby since he was a driving force in getting the Charming's together?
