Maleficent was the smartest villain on this show mostly because she goes to the people who wronged her most for help and in return she gets to connect with her daughter and wins what appears to be her happy ending for once.
Next... I love the mother/daughter moments between Maleficent and Lily too. They're really quite beautiful, and their relationship is definitely one I would love to see more of as they continue to grow now that they're together at last. Their storyline shows the hope and possibility that they too can find redemption and their happy endings too. I love Maleficent throughout this entire episode. She's amazing. And lastly... I really like the scenes between Regina, Zelena, Isaac, and Robin, as they're all talking to Zelena within her cell while Regina considers using the Author to erase Zelena from existence. Not good, but I really enjoy the banter back and forth between the sisters, while the Author remains quiet in the corner in wait. Thankfully, Regina comes to do the right thing upon realizing that her plan to erase Zelena from existence made her just like her mother. And I absolutely love how Regina tells Robin and Zelena that Robin is a part of her happy ending, which is truly finding the peace that she has come to fit into the world where she lives with people she loves and who loves her in return. Beautiful. Unfortunately... the Author has other plans and he uses his power to escape from the heroes and to return to Gold, who is dying back in his shop. And now... Isaac is about to begin his own storybook titled, Heroes and Villains within a new storybook that Gold conjures for him. Not good, but so exciting!! And I love it!!! Thank you so much again for another great reaction!! And now, we're on to the two part season four finale titled... Operation Mongoose Parts One and Two! I love these next episodes and I can't wait for your reactions for them both!! I hope to see them reacted to together like you usually do for the finales. Until your next reactions, my friend... Thank you! Sincerely, Heidi
Mother- Thank you for another great reaction, Shelley! Once again... this episode is really good and I really enjoy it overall. My favorite moments once again come within the minor storylines throughout this episodes. Mainly between Killian and Emma of course. I absolutely love the moment between Killian and Emma down in the harbor as they're looking out over the ocean, while Killian lovingly encourages her to forgive her parents once more. This moment between them is absolutely beautiful And I just love how loving Killian is towards Emma, as he fights to remind Emma just how much she needs her parents, and how much she needs to forgive them... not only for their sake, but for her own sake too. I love Killian's lines... "They were trying to protect you, Swan. Twice. Before you were born, they wanted to make you happy. And when they found you again, they wanted to make you proud. Do you want both those to be failures?", after Emma lovingly says to him... "I'd like them more if... I'd known they turned themselves around. I like when people find their good hearts along the way.", talking about how Killian has found his own good heart. Just so beautiful. Killian and Emma are so good for one another and I just absolutely love them! And finally!!! Emma finally comes to forgive her parents thanks to Killian's words, and upon seeing her mother hurt after trying to help Maleficent and Lily. I love this moment between Emma and Mary Margaret as Emma shares with her parents why she is doing so. And I love, love, love seeing David look up at Killian with a smile on his face and as he nods at him to show Killian that he knows Killian had everything to do with Emma being able to forgive them at last, and to express his gratitude. Perfect! I absolutely love how it's Killian who helps Emma to come around to forgiving her parents. And given his past, this says a lot about his character and the true good that really is inside of him. Next... I really love the scene towards the beginning between Killian, Gold, and the Author inside Granny's Diner, when Killian sits down in the booth beside the Author in order to taunt Gold about how he's failed to darken Emma's heart like he wanted. I agree with Gold that it isn't so smart for Killian to taunt the Dark One, but I still really enjoy this scene nonetheless. And I love just how hopeful Killian is that he will at last have his happy ending without the fear of losing Emma like he's had ever since he began to fall in love with her. Fantastic!!! :) As for Cora's reappearance within her overall storyline with coming to Regina on the anniversary of Daniel's death and then using the Sheriff of Nottingham to try to trick her daughter about him being the man with the lion tattoo... I really couldn't care less for this whole storyline. As I've said a number of times... I really don't like Cora at all outside of her being a great villainess, and I don't like the Sheriff of Nottingham at all either. And this storyline is just weak in comparison to the rest of the episode. I understand it, given that this episode is about the relationship between daughters and their mothers. I just really don't care about it. However, the best part of this storyline is when Regina curses herself so she won't ever have any children of her own, just to spite her mother. Again... it's twisted and so sad too. But It does help to explain why Regina adopts Henry too, and it's quite a powerful moment for Regina's character. Next... I enjoy the scene between Regina and Lily, as Regina encourages Lily to get angry so she can use her blood for the ink for the Author's quill. It's not good and I'm mad with Regina for using Lily in such a way because it comes from the evil side in her, but the scene itself is really good, and I also love that from such action... it brings about Lily transforming into a dragon just like her mother when her anger and hatred takes control over her. Brilliant! And no... I don't believe Regina intended to have Lily turn herself into a dragon. She simply wanted to get her angry so she could steal Lily's blood upon her being the anti-Savior. I just think it was wrong how Regina taunts Lily in order to get it. And both David and Mary Margaret very easily could have died because of her actions had it not been for Maleficent being there to calm her daughter down. Also... I really love the moment when Maleficent comes to David and Mary Margaret, seeking their help to convince Lily to stay in town. I love that Maleficent doesn't go back to being evil to try to force her daughter, like Cora had done many times to Regina. It shows that Maleficent has really grown since she's been resurrected. And her longing to be reunited with her daughter and to be the mother to her she never could be before, is so beautiful. And while the moment Mary Margaret runs towards Lily in her dragon form just before Lily strikes her and renders her unconscious is strange, I do believe that Mary Margaret was attempting to protect Maleficent from Lily nearly killing her mother out of her pure rage she couldn't control in this moment. And I really appreciate that about Mary Margaret, because it shows that she is sincerely sorry for hers and Charming's choices that caused mother and daughter to be split apart for so long, and that Mary Margaret is willing to do whatever it takes to show them as such. It's beautiful really.
The look Lily gives Snow White and Charming is pure evil and what the two of them deserve from her. Maleficent standing on the curb waiting as she wishes she could go over to the bug on her own is a heart-wrenching-ly brilliant moment. While I do think The Charmings deserve forgiveness, eventually, Lily being back in Maleficent's life shouldn't just earn the moment.
Can we stop and talk about how Genius Zelena’s plan here is. They can’t kill her or get rid of her now. She can screw with Regina for the rest of their lives.

No one really knows this or talks about it but Lily, when she was younger actually liked Emma, like loved her and that is why she was so attached.
I absolutely love your reactions...Keep it up....
can't wait for the season finale
I'm happy that Lily and her mother can be scary Dragon Bitches (trademark pending) together now...
