I'll share an interesting bit of trivia that I read back when this episode first aired. The writers named Ingrid's ice cream shop, "Any Given Sundae," after an actual ice cream parlor in the town of Steveston, where OUAT was filmed. The owner gave out ice cream to the cast and crew and created several ice cream dishes named for each of the main characters. Unfortunately, the shop had gone out of business by the fourth season when this was filmed but they remembered it in the clever name.

Lol I really love this episode because it literally just shows how far Regina, Snow, and David has come to finally realize the Snow was in fact 10 when she slipped the secret, of course it was going to happen. But being able to laugh it all off together is just so heart-warming, def. my favorite scene too. And yes, unfortunately, many ppl will continue telling you “actually this is ep. __” but I don’t blame them. It’s listed on Netflix wrong so they just go with that, but your numbering is right as the writers want the 100th episode to actually be the 100th without it being... too confusing? “Snow White’s a murder (: “ This is one of my favorite episodes from the show :) Until your next reaction!

Again... this episode is most definitely among my favorites from season four as well. I can't say which season overall is my absolute favorite. However, I feel that this Frozen arc has the most number of episodes within a single arc that I consider to be among my favorite episodes and we still have one more to come. This arc is really quite beautiful. :) My favorite moments... First... I absolutely love the final scene between Emma, Elsa, Anna, and of course Ingrid too, as Ingrid finally learns that her sisters loved her all along and that Gerda was so sorry for everything that happened between them, including taking all memories of Ingrid and Helga away from the people of Arendelle. I love how Ingrid sacrifices her life to reverse her Spell of Shattered Sight. What a beautiful and heartbreaking moment. It is a little rushed, as is the entire episode, but that's due to time constraints with having to fit the end of the Snow Queen's story within a single episode. It's beautiful overall. I've always loved the Snow Queen as a villain. She is phenomenal. And I love that she also found redemption so she too could have her happy ending, despite being a villain just moments earlier. I agree with you that Ingrid attacking Anna and then suddenly feelin such remorse was strange, but then... Ingrid did pick up the crystals and felt her sisters' love again at their touch. So I get it as well. Overall... so beautiful. :) Second... I love, love, love both scenes between Killian and Gold inside his shop. I love Killian's lines and banter as he struggles to remain strong while he's being forced to do Gold's bidding against his will, in spite of feeling so heartbroken knowing he's going to die soon once Gold gets around to crushing his heart. And third... I love the moment inside Town Hall between Killian and Henry, as Killian is there on Gold's orders to kidnap Henry for Gold. I love how Henry calls Killian a dirty pirate, to which Killian responds, "Dirty... I bathe quite frequently, thank you very much." Their banter continues when Killian is happy to hear that Emma used the word "together" upon talking about their relationship. Killian then finally gets inside through Regina's spell until he unfortunately falls hard on the marbles Henry put out on the floor in front of the door to try to slow down anyone who breaks inside, as Killian did, and to make things worse... Killian then runs into Will Scarlet, who still has a quarrel with him due to when Killian gave him a black eye and attacked him under Gold's influence back in the episode... The Apprentice. It's a good thing Killian was able to defeat him pretty easily. Very funny and so good. :) Now, as for Ingrid's backstory with young Emma... while I felt they were the weaker scenes throughout the episode overall, I still absolutely love this backstory that shows how Ingrid not only gets to know Emma when she's young, but also how the Snow Queen later comes to be in Storybrooke, and we see a scene between them just after Emma first arrives in Storybrooke herself inside Ingrid's ice cream parlor known as Any Given Sundae. The only problem with this scene, is that back when Emma had just arrived in Storybrooke, and we know it's early on because Emma mentions she is going to call Graham for help upon seeing Ingrid is apparently stalking her, Ingrid swiftly uses magic to pull out Emma's memories of her and into the crystal, when magic didn't exist yet in Storybrooke. Maybe she was able to use magic because Emma is the Savior and we know that magic could come back at certain times because of her. But I'm not sure. Maybe this was a misstep, or maybe Emma being there was what allowed Ingrid to use magic. Either way... I still enjoy this scene. What I love most about the past storyline is seeing how Ingrid makes the mistake of pushing young Emma, as well as Emma upon her arrival in Storybrooke... too far, much too fast. They're sad moments, especially upon seeing young Emma had almost been adopted and felt loved for such a brief time by someone, only for her to wind up getting hurt all over again. As for present day Storybrooke under the influence of the Snow Queen's Spell of Shattered Sight... oh my gosh, these scenes between the characters were hilarious. I love seeing Regina become the Evil Queen again so briefly. I love the banter between her, Mary Margaret, and David. I love the sword battle between Regina and Mary Margaret inside the sheriff's station while David is trapped still in the jail cell. And I love the overall banter back and forth between Mary Margaret, David, Anna, and Kristoff. So adorable and hilarious. I especially love the banter when David mocks Kristoff about being an ice man and how all of Arendelle is frozen... a fantastic nod to the Disney movie, Frozen. :) I love how Emma and Elsa work together to discover a way to destroy the ribbons around their wrists. And I love that they are quickly able to figure out they can use Regina's current hatred while under the spell to counteract Ingrid's love. And I love how Anna finally join them upon finding hers and Elsa's parents' letter to them along with the memory stones containing the memories the rock trolls had taken from all of Arendelle of Ingrid and Helga. The moment between Anna and Ingrid was beautiful and heartbreaking. I love it! Also... I love the moment between Anna and Kristoff once again on the beach after Regina poofs them away, as Kristoff sadly continues to complain under the spell's influence. It's a sad moment, but I love how Kristoff's lines are still funny in Kristoff's way, because it's who he is. And he and Anna are just so adorable together. I love them! Sadly, Anna has to render Kristoff unconscious by striking him across the back of his head with the glass bottle, in order to save his life. Thankfully, this allows for Anna to find her parents' message in the bottle. Perfect! And lastly... to go with one of my favorite moments, I absolutely love how Killian pleads with Gold to leave Emma and all of Storybrooke alone now that the Snow Queen's threat has been taken care of, as a last request. And I love how Gold eerily and darkly responds that so long as the heroes don't stand in his way, they have nothing to fear from him, yet he can't promise such for the rest of the world. This moment is so sad because Killian is so broken upon knowing he's going to die soon, yet so amazing because Gold is so sinister and cruel. I love, love, love this scene!!! :) Overall... such a beautiful and phenomenal episode. I love seeing all of the townsfolk including Granny and the dwarfs fighting one another under the spell's influence, then seeing them hug one another as the snow begins to fall once the spell is finally broken. And like you, I love, love, love seeing Regina, Mary Margaret, and David begin to laugh upon the spell breaking as well once they all see Regina dressed once again as the Evil Queen and remember how they were fighting one another, then seeing them join their loved ones outside along with Elsa and Anna too. Seeing them laughing with one another after all is said and done... It really does show just how far they've all come. Everything about this episode was brilliant! Thank you so much once more, for another phenomenal and fun reaction!!! I'm so happy you loved this episode so much. :) I can't wait for the next episode!!! Until then...
