Personally I still think killing of Neal was one of the biggest mistake the show made, if not just the biggest one. I'd even argue bringing Rumple back was a mistake even though he is my favourite character, but that would dive into spoilerish information.

2019-11-23 13:34:27 +0000 UTCThis episode fucking destroyed me. The scene with Emma, Neal, and Gold was so amazing. Robert Carlyle is always brilliant, but the actor playing Neal got to show his talent, as well, and while i'm not a fan of Emma as a character, Jennifer Morrison is fantastic at these emotional moments. Getting close to the end! So exciting!

2019-11-22 23:12:59 +0000 UTCThank you so much for a new reaction for more Once Upon a Time! As for this episode... it was very sad of course with Neal's death. And yes... he died so that Rumple could live again, and so Rumple could tell Emma who the Wicked Witch really is. However, I have to say that this episode is among one of my least favorites of the season. And I only say so, because I felt a bit underwhelmed I think, and because I've never really been too big of a fan of Neal's character. Don't get me wrong... Neal's death in this episode is tragic and I absolutely feel terrible for everyone who cared about him, especially Emma and Rumple. Henry and Killian too. But if I'm being honest... this isn't the first time we've seen Neal supposedly die, as we were led to believe he had back in season two's episodes, Second Star to the Right and And Straight on 'Til Morning, until it was later discovered that he was alive. His real death is much worse and yet I feel that if he wouldn't have supposedly died before, I would have felt worse about him dying in this episode. But I think what bothers me the most was that when Neal was talking to Belle about paying the cost to bring his father back. First... Neal was just so careless about how doing so would make those who loved him feel. And of course... to bring someone back from the dead, especially someone as powerful as the Dark One, there's going to be a terrible price to pay. Yet Neal did so regardless, despite Belle's pleas for him to wait so they can try to find another way to save Rumple. Honestly, it was a foolish decision on Neal's part. I know Neal was desperate to save his father, but he should have trusted and believed in Belle over Lumiere. And he should have known right away that the cost for bringing someone back from the dead would mean another life would have to be taken in return. Neal of all people knows the price of magic. He knows better than anyone. It just really kind of bothered me. With all that being said, I felt so badly for Rumple and it was definitely sad to see him take Neal into himself in order to try to save him for a little while, even though doing so made him go crazy upon gaining Neal's mind too. That was a nice touch on the episode's storyline and like you, I like that all of our questions about what happened to Rumple and Neal were finally answered. Also... the acting for both Jennifer Morrison and Robert Carlyle was phenomenal. I felt most of the emotion throughout this episode coming from them. And while I don't care much for Neal... I think this was easily his character's best episode, and Michael Raymond James' (Neal) acting was also really good. Now... if I had to pick my favorite scene from this episode, I absolutely loved the brief moment between Killian and Neal in the hospital, when Killian suddenly hugs Neal much to his surprise, then states that he still sees the boy in him whom he once knew all those years ago too. It's quite sweet and very unexpected coming from Hook. I think that's what I loved about it. And it showed just how far he's come since Hook was brought into the show as a villain. And once again... Colin O'Donoghue's (Hook) acting in this scene was phenomenal as well. I also absolutely love the moments between Regina and Robin of course. And now Regina knows she and Robin are meant to be soulmates like Tink told her all those years ago upon Regina seeing Robin's tattoo on his right wrist. I love hearing them repeat their lines they spoke to one another in the Enchanted Forest, with a few changes in the wording, showing just how perfect they are for one another too. Lastly... I love the moments in the end where David and Mary Margaret come into Gold's shop to tell Belle and Killian that Neal has died, as they comfort them. And then seeing Emma go to Henry to tell him about his father being a hero who died to help them, in the only way she could without Henry remembering the whole truth. It was such a beautiful and sad moment. Also... I love the scene in the end between Rumple and Zelena once again within her storm cellar. Right now... Gold is broken upon having lost his son once and for all. And he's still trapped as Zelena's prisoner. However, ooh... is he angry now. It's going to get good. :) Overall... this episode was just okay, but I still enjoyed it very much. I can't wait for the storyline to continue throughout the rest of the season and watching each episode going forward with you all over again, as you watch them for the first time. Your reactions as always... are so much fun. I love just how much you love this show like I do. Thank you again, so much! Until next time...
