Wake Up Call- Thank you so much for another great reaction! And I enjoy this episode. It is really good. So... this episode certainly doesn't go in the direction I was expecting. I love that Ivy wakes Regina up. I didn't see this coming. The big role Ivy/Drizella plays in this episode... I mean, I had no idea just how strong of a character Drizella really was. And now we've learned she's the one who really instigated the curse, not Lady Tremaine like everyone until now believed. But what did she do to everyone that Regina is so afraid of? And yikes! This is the first time that there is actually a major consequence to breaking the curse, other than seeing our heroes simply losing their memories, or one of them remembering something's been done to them like when Killian remembered being turned into the Dark One by Emma back in season five. Completely different than before it seems, and now this season has really kicked up a few notches. Bravo! I was not surprised that both Henry and Regina are so quick to come up with a legitimate reason for the picture Roni found in the end of Greenbacks, but a little disheartened because we know the truth. And I love seeing Roni pick up the bat to go after Victoria with it upon thinking she is messing with them until Henry stops her. It is funny. Then, later Lucy comes charging in to see the picture thanks to Ivy opening her big mouth, only Henry of course thinks she is talking about the photos Ivy has been posting all over the social media sites of her and him together to try to split him and Jacinda up. Boo! I don't like this. I really hate this whole triangle, but I get it. I like how determined Lucy is to convince Roni and Henry of who they really are once she realizes Roni is really Regina. But one thing confused me. Henry has drawn the pictures in his book for each story. And we know there's one in it of Emma, as was seen in the first two episodes of this season, and that there's one of the Charming family all celebrating becoming a family again after the final battle at Granny's, shown in season six's finale... The Final Battle Part Two. There should be at least one of the Evil Queen, or of Regina after becoming a hero, and therefore Lucy should have known from the beginning that Roni was Regina. I would think she would have known who everyone is from the pictures. What do you think? I enjoy the fight in the beginning between Henry, Ella, and the bandits who want to steal his motorcycle. I even enjoy seeing Henry showing Ella how to fix the bike. It is cute, even though I still have yet to see the same kind of chemistry between them as we see in the other True Love couples in this show. Henry's relationship with Ella/Jacinda has grown on me a little. Although, the chemistry between them isn't nearly as strong as some of the other True Love couples we've seen in the show until now. But then they are their own, so it's not so much a bad thing. But I love seeing Regina appear to protect Henry with her powers until she realizes he doesn't need her help anymore like he used to. Oh... and Regina looks amazing in the flashbacks by the way, as she always does. Her clothes as always are fabulous! I also really love seeing the scenes between Rogers and Weaver now that we know Gold is awake. It is funny seeing him kick the wheelchair away and then walk out of the hospital on his own. And I absolutely love the one scene between Rogers and Tilly in the room, as Tilly teaches him to look closer at the chessboard for answers. I love how she helps him to try looking at his case differently. And eventually, Rogers finds the suspect from the last episode dead in his home and it's made me very excited for more within this storyline. And I love when Roni comes to Gold seeking help with her "possible adoption" of Henry. Classic Gold is back and he's making deals again. I can't help but wonder if he is going to continue to try to be good for Belle's sake so he can one day get back to her, yet be the man she can be proud of, or if he's going to be sneaky and seek power like he's always done before, this time out of grief. He certainly appears to be heading down the dark path again. Which brings me to the scene between Gold and Regina in the backstory... I like how he tells her about Belle. That she sees he had truly changed for the better because of Belle, and then how he gives Regina advice about Drizella. Unfortunately for Regina, Gold is right and Drizella is so quick to dismiss Regina's help any longer because she refuses to help her kill Lady Tremaine. It's sad how Lady Tremaine loves only Anastasia, and I actually felt a little badly for Drizella briefly, but then she turns dark very quickly. Drizella so far appears to be really the big villain of this season, but don't forget about the villainess locked up in the tower. Nonetheless... I like the twist in this storyline, and I like both her and Lady Tremaine. It's also funny how Regina can relate to so many people in this show. She relates herself to Ella in The Garden of Forking Paths, and again in this episode to Drizella. I love seeing Regina try to train Drizella to use her magic, especially when she makes the mountain crumble above herself to motivate Drizella to save her. Regina risks her own life. I love the final scenes between Regina and Henry as he assures her that he will always need her. They are beautiful and it almost makes me cry even. My heart breaks for Regina because she wants more than anything to help her son remember, and yet she can't thanks to whatever Drizella has done to ensure that the dark curse cast over them all is unbreakable. What I don't like though, even though it makes sense for his storyline... it's that once again Henry's another character who believes he's been abandoned by his parents. This has been done so many times before. I wish his false memories have made him believe something more original. I love this storyline for Emma and Killian, whose father actually abandoned him for selfish reasons and not for love like Snow and David did for Emma, and I love this storyline for Henry originally, although he always believed that Emma had given him up so he could have his best chance like Snow and Charming did for Emma. But come on writers and creators... Be creative! Over all... I like this episode a lot. Regina is brilliant and so is Drizella. Bravo to them. I wish there had been more with Rogers, but maybe in the next episode. Until next time... Thank you very much, Steven! Sincerely, Heidi

2022-03-06 04:36:39 +0000 UTCI mentioned in a comment in one of the earlier episodes that while I didn't like a lot of the things in this season, largely the Cinderella story. There was a character and the storylines surrounding that character that I really liked, now I can say that character was Ivy, I really liked the twist that she was awake, that she placed the curse and that she is playing her mother, plus I think her acting is great and I'm a fan of Adelaide Kane from Teen Wolf and Reign. Their are some other characters and storylines I liked this season but I really liked this Ivy storyline.
