Once Upon A Time - 3x11 “Going Home” FULL REACTION

Oh yes me too. There were other episodes that were very emotional but this was the first episode that had me crying hysterically & an emotional train wreck

This was the first episode that turned me into a bawling, blubbering mess. So. Effing. Good.

Yes, I must know about Liam and his vodka. Lol

Yes... I agree that I love the moment between Hook and Tink after she catches Pan's shadow and destroys it. So good, and I love hearing someone acknowledge how Hook truly feels about Emma after he proves to them that he's more than even he believes he is, because he loves Emma so much. I also like their lines back and forth in this scene too. :) As for True Love's Kiss not working between Emma and Hook in the end... it doesn't work just because Emma doesn't know him, but she also doesn't feel this way about him in return, even when she could remember him. Remember... Emma has barely had a chance to breathe since their return from Neverland, let alone make any kind of decision towards choosing Hook or Neal. And at this point, she doesn't want a relationship with anyone because she's so closed off still. There is no True Love established between them. But I agree with you about everything. :) Love, love, love it all!!

I enjoyed reading your comments. I reacted the same way the first time I saw this episode. Very emotional, sad & bittersweet. So beautifully written & well acted!! Can’t wait for the next reaction.

Thank you for a great reaction to one of my favorite episodes from season 3. I LOVE this episode & I reacted much like you did. It’s such a beautifully written & emotional episode. I cried the very first time I saw it & cried every time I’ve seen it since. And watching your reaction made it that much more emotional for me. I really enjoyed all the backstories, especially Hook & Tink in Neverland. I loved the present day scenes when Hook, Tink, David, & Neal are trying to catch Pan’s shadow. It was so awesome when Tink got the fairy dust to work when she believed in herself & she was able to float up to catch his shadow. I loved it when Hook said “look who’s still a fairy” & Tink said “look who’s still a pirate”. And then when Tink tells Hook she knows he didn’t risk his life for himself or revenge but for Emma. So sweet. I also loved the scenes from when they’re outside Gold’s shop & at the town line. They were so sad & emotional. I cried the whole time. It was so sad seeing Rumple sacrifice himself, even though I knew that that couldn’t be the end of Rumple. But, it was still an emotional scene. One of saddest parts was seeing Belle fall to the ground crying out his name. That was devastating to watch. And watching Regina tell everyone that they’d have to be separated was more than I could handle. It was also so hard to watch Hook as Regina was telling them that because he knew he’d have to say bye to Emma possibly never seeing her again. I felt so bad for him. The look on his face broke my heart. Then, if I hadn’t cried enough my emotions got the best of me again when they were at the town line. Omg the feels. Emma saying goodbye to her parents & Regina telling Henry goodbye was so sad😭. I cried so much as Henry told Regina that he had thought he was alone & she didn’t love him, but he was wrong. And then when she said you heard Gold “I’m a villain & villains don’t get happy endings” & Henry told her “you’re not a villain you’re my mom”😩😩. I was so heartbroken watching everyone say goodbye but I lost it when Hook said bye to Emma. The scene when he said “there won’t be a day that goes by that I won’t think of you” & she simply said “good” was so beautiful & sweet but so sad. And I absolutely loved the scene when Regina gave Emma new memories, that she had never given Henry up. I agree with Liam that just shows how far Regina has come. Back in season 1, I never would’ve thought I’d see that change in Regina. But, it was definitely a beautiful moment. And then when Emma & Henry cross the town line😭😭. The scene when Emma gives birth to Henry & the moment she gets her new memories from Regina & she asks to hold Henry was so beautiful. But, then I was so excited & happy when I saw that final scene when Hook shows up at Emma’s door. Unfortunately, since she has no memory of Hook true loves kiss doesn’t work. And yes I had those same questions. But, in true Once fashion we don’t get those answers for quite a while, but oh it’s worth the wait. This is one of my favorite episodes from this season. It’s certainly one of the saddest & most emotional episodes of the series. 💔😭😩The very first time I saw this episode I was crying hysterically screaming at the TV that this can’t be happening no, no, no. My husband looked at me like I was absolutely crazy. And this time the only difference was I wasn’t screaming at the tv but I was certainly crying. I can’t wait till you see the next arc. It’s amazing!! The second half of season 3 is just as good if not better than the first half. You’re in for a phenomenal season. I look forward to your next reaction!!

So many mysteries arise. What happened over the course of that year? How did Hook get back? Is he alone? Can Emma and Henry's memories be restored? Will Liam obtain his needed vodka?

Oh my gosh!!!!! I love this episode!! And it completely tore my heart out and crushed it. So sad and yet so perfectly beautiful for so many of our characters we love so much. First... one of my absolute favorite moments in this episode is when everyone says their goodbyes, which I will get back to later on. But I will say that I especially love, love, love the moment when Hook says his own goodbye to Emma, as he compliments her vessel and then states lovingly, "There's not a day will go by I won't think of you." So beautiful and again... the emotion shown on his face with the tears in his eyes, as well as in Emma's when she listens to him, then responds simply, "Good." I love the way they stare at one another for several seconds before he finally walks away from her feeling disheartened. I love the emotional impact this moment gives me. And you can see that between Hook and Neal, Emma's chemistry and feelings for Hook are most definitely stronger. Even though she hasn't had the time to work her feelings through for either one of them. It's quite a beautiful moment, as is the entire goodbye scene. Now... I love seeing a brief flashback between Hook and Tinker Bell in Neverland, as well as Smee too of course. And I love how it tied into the present day storyline, as Hook risks his life to try to help his friends capture Pan's shadow, all for Emma. Not for himself or for revenge like he continues to pretend, but all because he loves Emma so much, despite a part of him believing that Emma could never love him. So sad and so beautiful. Also... I love how Tink got her wings and magic back by believing in herself, and the moment with her and Blue when Blue apologizes for losing her belief in her. I understand you don't care so much that Blue came back to life and it's perfectly fine of course that you feel this way. Personally, I was happy that she did. I like her character and while we haven't seen much with her except for mostly in flashbacks... I feel she's a very important character in regards to helping our heroes, as she is the leader of the fairies and she is very powerful. And she means well. However, I was also happy that she apologized to Tink for being too strict. Next... Pan was so sly and cruel towards both Regina and Rumple, and I love every moment. Like you said... Robbie Kay is brilliant in the role of Pan and Pan is a phenomenal villain, outside of both Rumplestiltskin and the Evil Queen of course. And now... Rumple has finally defeated Pan at last, but sadly at the cost of his own life. It's so tragic. I remember screaming at the screen when I first watched this episode. Why?!!!!! Why did they have to kill off Rumplestiltskin?!!!However, like you... I believed then that they would find a way to bring him back again. We'll see what's to come. Again... his moment upon sacrificing himself to kill Pan so he could save everyone else is also quite beautiful and heartbreaking. I especially felt for Belle when she collapses and cries out his name upon being forced to watch him die. It's tragic. Now... I also felt so badly for Regina, and everyone else too of course, knowing they all have to return to the Enchanted Forest without Emma and Henry, who now no longer remembers them because of Pan's curse. So sad. Again... why?!!!! But wow that goodbye scene was so beautiful and such a tearjerker. I balled throughout this episode's entire ending. I also love seeing the moment again when Emma is giving birth to Henry, and then seeing it change because of Regina's magic as she gives Emma and Henry new memories in their pasts, upon Storybrooke being destroyed. Beautiful. So sweet and so sad. And lastly.... Hook's back!!!!! I was screaming at the screen all over again, but this time because I was so happy to see Hook appear in New York to try to convince Emma her family is in danger. Perfect!!! And I am so happy it was Hook over anyone else. What's to come is so exciting and I cannot wait for more reactions from you to come!! Because what's in store is just as good as the first half of the season, if not better. It's near impossible for me to say which season or arcs are the best. There's so much good in all of them. :) So you have lots of good episodes to look forward to. Just you wait!! Thank you again, so much. Take some time to recover. Until next time...
