Lady of the Lake- Hello again! I really love this episode. Just a beautiful and wholesome story it is from start to finish. Thank you very much! First, in regards to the title of this episode... I agree with you that this episode title doesn't make much sense, given what happens throughout this episode. There is no Lady of the Lake, who I believe is meant to be a reference to the Lady of the Lake within the Arthurian legends. In some legends of King Arthur, the Lady of the Lake is written to be Lancelot's mother. Just as she is known to be here in Once Upon a Time, as indicated by Lancelot as he makes a reference to her when he tells Snow and Charming that his mother raised him by water. So... I believe that the title comes because of this mere reference, which really doesn't make too much sense, since the Lady of the Lake is barely spoken of. Plus... David also brings up the Siren he had killed back in season one's episode... What Happened to Frederick?, who was also known as a different version of Lady of the Lake. So, the titled might also come from this reference as well. Either way... this is one time when I don't like the episode title chosen for this particular episode. Now... I love seeing David's and Henry's interactions all throughout this episode, especially in the end when David tells Henry he understands he won't be able to find and save Snow and Emma without his help, just before he begins to teach him how to swordfight. Their grandfather/grandson relationship is so sweet. I really love how much between David and Henry we're getting so far this season. Also... I love the backstory between David, Snow, and Ruth... David's mother. Beautiful and yet so sad. I love Ruth a lot too. I cried when I watched this episode. The first time and again now as I re-watched it with you. Her love for her son is just so beautiful and I love how she is willing to give her life to ensure that Snow could have a child. Without Ruth, Emma never would have been born and I just love to see how this comes about. The lack of everyone's search for water within the dried up lake is weak and a little strange to me, but seeing Ruth give up her life in order to assure that Snow can have children when there is surely more magic in their world that would have cured her as well most certainly isn't. I truly appreciate the overall storyline. And as for Ruth coming back out to make sure her son is okay, in spite of Charming's plea for her to go inside... Ruth acted as any mother would have done for their child if she were to believe their child was in danger. I completely understand it. Now... both Cora and King George are definitely snakes. They are both great villains, even though I hate them because they're so evil. Cora plays a villain really well and she is definitely evil, more so than even Regina is. I don't like her as a character for the most part because her evil is of a different caliber than Regina's evil is and she's darker and more twisted and Regina is. Especially in the way she shows her love for her own daughter. It's so sad. As a villain... she's dark, which is good for any villain, but I just don't like her overall. And King George... he's a villain I love to hate. I like Alan Dale as an actor, and I really like the rivalry between Charming and King George a lot. And now for Emma and Henry acting as they do... Emma especially, and Henry too, are acting on instincts that come from our world. And our world... while they now know of other worlds and magic existing, our world is the only world Emma and Henry knows. Especially Emma, who has grown up in a harsh world and has had to live on her own. So, her actions in the Enchanted Forest may seem silly to some, but she's fighting the way she's fought her whole life. The only way she knows. And while it might seem annoying to some, I really understand it too. Emma knows that she ought to listen to her mother more so long as they're stuck in the Enchanted Forest, even before their fight with Cora. However, she's lived alone for so long and has never had anyone looking out for her before, and she has always had to look out for herself. When Snow tries to get her to understand, Emma is being stubborn out of defiance and because she's still angry with her parents for giving her up. And she's trying to be strong and independent just as she's always been. For me... it's understandable and I appreciate seeing this in Emma's character, allowing for us to really see and feel the emotions as Emma grows as the show and this episode continues on. Also... I love seeing Jefferson reunited with his daughter at last, and having Henry there to convince him to find her. The moments with Jefferson were brief, but quite sweet as well. As for my favorite moment throughout this episode... I absolutely love the moment between Emma and Snow when Emma breaks down upon understanding just how much her mother has sacrificed for her and why Snow had to give her up. It is such a beautiful moment in the show where their relationship begins to grow significantly. And Mary Margaret's emotional breakdown as she looks back at what she could have had with her daughter, had Regina not cast her curse... so sad and so beautiful. I also like Lancelot in this episode too. He isn't like most other actors who have played Lancelot from other shows and movies, but he's still a good character. He was a good friend to both Snow and Charming and it is sweet that he married them for Ruth’s sake before she died. And lastly... I also love that Lancelot understood what Ruth wanted and slipped the last of the water from Lake Nostos into Snow’s chalice so she could drink it. And then how Snow finds out she’s going to have a daughter with Ruth’s necklace. Brilliant! :) Thank you again, for another great episode reaction, my friend! Overall... this is a beautiful episode, especially because of Emma's and Mary Margaret's progress in their relationship, and for the backstory for Snow and Charming. I can't wait for your reaction for the next episode!!! It's one of my absolute favorites from this season and throughout the entire show too! :) Until then... Sincerely, Heidi

Ok so one thing I don't quite get: they say True Loves Kiss will cure any curse right? Why did Snow need the water then if all she had to do was kiss her Prince Charming? Did I miss something or is that a plot hole?
