I totally agree with you about how it wasn’t much Snow AND David’s fault about “failing” on Emma. It seemed like Snow was the one who failed if anything because I honestly didn’t see fear in David at all, but Snow was the one to push her away. And I get that Snow and David are like together and they do everything together but it’s Snows fault 100% Can’t wait for the next episode :) (a lot of ppl get confused with the amount of episodes S4 has and think it has 23 but the next episode is a LONG one making season 4 have 22 episodes. It may not look like a huge issue at first but there is a difference and I won’t mention why as I don’t wanna spoil something)

Thank you so much for another fun and exciting reaction for Once Upon a Time!! :) Ingrid's backstory has finally been revealed and yes... it is quite tragic with Helga dying from a frozen heart when Ingrid lost control over her magic, then is soon pulled inside the urn by her third and youngest of the sisters, Gerda, upon her becoming afraid of Ingrid. And here we have answers as to how the Snow Queen had become trapped within the urn when we see Prince Hans set her free in trying to get rid of Elsa back in this season's third episode, Rocky Road. And why Ingrid has become the Snow Queen, as her fear, anger, and hatred consumed her for all the years she remained trapped inside that urn, turning her into a villain. It's all tragically brilliant! However, I don't just feel bad for Ingrid. Her backstory is heartbreaking, so I felt bad for her a little then, as well as for her sisters absolutely. Yes... it's heartbreaking that Gerda turned on her, but she did just lose her other sister when Ingrid lost control of her powers because she became angry. The Duke was a jerk and I wanted to see him get punished, but Helga jumped in front of him to protect him, because it was the right thing to do. She didn't want her sister to turn into a villain that all of Arendelle would have seen her as, had Ingrid killed him. And while the Duke was a jerk for saying all those horrible things, he didn't deserve to die for them. Gerda lost both of her sisters that day and it's tragic. And of course she had become afraid of her sister after that moment upon seeing that Ingrid had killed Helga. And this brings me to why I can also understand why Gerda and her husband later on had come to wish to get rid of Elsa's magic as well. They most definitely had a responsibility to protect their daughters, as well as the people of their Kingdom as well. And after all that Gerda went through after losing her sister Helga to Ingrid's magic, and having to imprison Ingrid inside the urn... it's no wonder why she was worried for Elsa too. I don't think she so much feared her daughter, but more so that she feared for her, knowing the pain Ingrid suffered upon being seen as a monster so much so, that it eventually caused her to lose control. I understand why Elsa's and Anna's parents did all they did to try to keep Elsa from using her magic and to keep Anna from ever knowing about Elsa's magic. It's tragic that it led to Elsa and Anna being separate most of their childhood as they grew up, but I understand. And it's sad that Elsa's and Anna's parents lost their lives in trying to free their daughters from that kind of pain Gerda suffered through. Also... I too love the parallels between the Snow Queen's backstory and the Disney movie, Frozen... especially in regards to Ingrid's and Elsa's characters, and sadly now Emma too. There are so many parallels and it makes me love even more that this Frozen arc storyline for the Disney movie's characters, takes place after the events seen in Frozen and that it isn't a different take on their story like so many other characters' stories are. Not that they're bad by any means because I love them all... it's just nice to see a new story expanded from an old one, rather than being rewritten like so many others. But back to this episode's present day storyline... I really enjoy seeing it unfold, with Emma's growing fear of herself the more the Snow Queen got inside her head. Ingrid is most definitely very clever because she knows all too well the right things to say and do in order to convince Emma that her loved ones fear her, while she does not. And what's worse... is that to a small degree, Ingrid was right. Emma's parents did fear Emma's magic upon seeing her boil the milk in the bottle when she became upset in the beginning, then again upon learning Emma broke a hole through the side of the station, and especially upon seeing her lose complete control of her magic, which nearly causes a lamppost to fall on Hook, until David pushes him out of the way and is hurt when it strikes him instead. By that point, the Snow Queen had gotten so deep inside Emma's head, that she could no longer control her own powers, making her lose complete control. Sadly, things only became worse when she saw she had hurt her father and nearly hurt the man she was falling in love with, and especially when Mary Margaret immediately cried out her name with fear of her in her eyes, even if it was for a split second. As for Killian accidentally calling Emma a monster moments earlier when they first see Emma step out of the station through the rubble left behind by the hole in the wall... of course Emma took that to mean he was calling her a monster, but when he said "monster", it was because he believed that the Snow Queen had blasted the hole through the wall. Not Emma. Killian would never call Emma a monster or hurt her intentionally in any way. He never once has feared her even now. And when Emma started to run away, he was the only one of the group to attempt to go after her until Emma pushed him away and ran to her car to drive off. The others were still shocked and afraid. I just love Killian all the more for how much he loves Emma and tries so hard to protect her, even if he makes mistakes in doing so along the way. One of my favorite moments in this episode, is the brief scene inside the clock tower when Killian, David, and Elsa are examining the fake mirror the Snow Queen planted up at the top of the stairs, until Belle comes in and immediately tells them to stop staring into it. I love it when Hook states, "It must be broken, because I've been staring at it all day, and I think I'm even more devilishly handsome and charming than usual." I can't help it... I just absolutely love it when he teases the others about how good he looks. :) Next... I like how the Snow Queen planted a fake mirror to draw Emma into her trap so she would be able to speak with her alone, which causes all of the trouble Emma is now in. As I said before... Ingrid is very clever. I also absolutely love the brief scene between Killian and Gold in Gold's shop after the others leave to help Emma as well. These two are brilliant whenever they're in a scene together. I just love seeing their continued rivalry, and I love that Killian just knows Gold all too well to not believe a word he says. And he's absolutely right. :) As for Robin's storyline with Regina and Will... I do absolutely love Regina and Robin together. However, this storyline, while the moment Robin returns to Regina inside her vault and tells her today he doesn't feel like being the man who follows his code and kisses her is beautiful and you really want it to happen... I still just hate this storyline overall as a whole because again, it's another love triangle that causes so many unneeded problems that I felt were unnecessary to the show's overall series. I still hate love triangles. But this scene with Robin and Regina is beautiful, and I even like the scene between him and Will Scarlet inside Granny's Diner too, as he reminds Robin of why Marian loved him. And lastly... another of my favorite moments in this episode is the very end scene between Rumple and Ingrid, when she comes to his shop seeking to make a deal with him at last. I just love the whole conversation between them about how Ingrid wishes to take full control over Storybrooke, while Rumple then can take power throughout the rest of the world should they succeed in getting everything they want. I love that Ingrid seeks to take back hers and her sisters' ribbons, in exchange for her telling Gold of a secret ingredient he doesn't yet know about that is needed to help cleave him from his dagger. I even love how Ingrid just whispers the answer into his ear in order to leave us as the audience in deeper suspense. Just you wait to see what it is! I can't wait!!! There's so much good to come and I'm so excited for you to see how this story continues to unfold. These next several episodes are phenomenal and are all among my favorite episodes for season four. I'm so happy that you will be posting them together for us, so thank you very much and I am so excited!!! Until then...
