In the second silliest scene of the night, Snow White flops around like a scared wet fish on a dock, frowning at her new fins and wondering where her legs went.
In the silliest scene of the night, Regina poses as Ursula, eight slimy legs and all, and tricks Ariel into turning Snow White into a mermaid. Before she can tell him the truth about her mermaid-ness, Regina shows up to spoil everyone's fun. Once Upon a Timereturns next Sunday with, "Dark Hollow" on ABC.Sadly, Ariel doesn't end up with Eric at the end of the episode. Hopefully, next week's hop back over to Storybrooke and those who were left behind can infuse some new life and energy back into the plot. At this rate, though, it might be an uphill battle and it's anyone's guess if it'll be enough to keep people interested (especially considering that Hook's still out there for the taking). At least Neal is up for the challenge of winning back her heart. Perhaps this ties back into Regina's no second choices policy, but it seems like this should have been the moment Emma gives love a shot instead of hiding behind her fears. Her speech beside Neal's cage is supposed to be moving, but sounds weak and dips into the same cheesiness employed so often by her mother. That leaves us with Neal (Michael Raymond-James) and Emma. And while Charming's (Josh Dallas) news might have been a shocker to his family, we heard it all last week. The fact that Snow isn't okay with losing Emma's childhood and wants another baby? Could've guessed that too. Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) having a thing for Emma (Jennifer Morrison)? Duh. One useful tidbit of information the audience does get is that mermaids can travel from realm to realm, making contact with Storybrooke possible.įorced into revealing what are supposed to be their deepest, darkest secrets, the audience gains nothing but a long reiteration of what we've already learned up to this point. Unlike some of the other Disney characters the show has introduced this season, her story takes the well-known twists and turns, though it stops short of giving her a 'happily ever after' just yet.Īs a result, she can't speak the truth of her love to her prince and turns her into a dark and moody mermaid off the shores of Neverland. Ariel (Joanna Garcia Swisher) learns the hard way about putting her trust in the wrong person when she falls for Regina's (Lana Parrilla) hoax. Let's take a look at the titular character first.
Last week, Once Upon a Time built an entire episode on lies, so it's only fair that they swing to the opposite end of the moral spectrum and focus on the truth in this week's episode, "Ariel." The test of whether these truths hold any value to the audience, however, is whether or not the reveals are surprising, and whether or not they hold any emotional weight in the grand scheme of things.
