Page 23- Thank you so much for another great reaction for a phenomenal episode, that is most certainly one of my favorite episodes this season, Dodo! I really love this episode a lot. Especially for Regina's and the Evil Queen's overall story arc, and even though Emma breaks off her engagement with Killian. Which I will come back to shortly... First things first... I absolutely love, love, love Regina's and the Evil Queen's redemption story arc throughout this episode, which also includes Robin from the Wish Realm too. Most of all... I love the two Queens' struggles to fight one another, and to eventually come to love themselves through Regina's selfless act by taking back some of her doppelganger's hatred, and giving the Evil Queen some of her love. I am so happy to see the conflict between Regina and her dark side come to an end, as Regina comes to remember just how much she once hated herself more than anyone, back when she had been the Evil Queen. And I am so happy to see the Evil Queen come to find peace within herself thanks to Regina giving her some of her love she holds for and from her loved ones, while also taking back some of her darkness. And all so that the both of them can finally come to feel love for themselves, and to find their happy endings. And in the end... Henry, with his Author powers, sends the Evil Queen off to the Wish Realm so she too can make a fresh start with her life just as Regina has done. Back to the Wish Realm where she had returned the Wish version of Robin to, which is what he wanted. And here, we see the Evil Queen find her own happy ending. The very ending that Regina has been holding onto for all this time on Page 23... the title of this episode. Page 23 has been a storyline long overdue to finally be concluded. And it's quite beautiful that it is truly showing the possibility for the two doppelgangers to come together, while also giving Regina her own hope for a happy ending among her family and friends where she can truly be at peace with herself at last. Even if her happy ending is not with the original Robin, or even with Wish Robin. And while the Evil Queen may be the one to find love with Robin from the Wish Realm, her happy ending is every bit the same as Regina's. All she has really wanted her whole life, is to be at peace with herself and to love herself. She also just happens to be the one to possibly find love with Robin. Regina already has had his love. Even if their love story has ended upon his death. Although, their love never truly dies just because he's gone. It's still very much alive. We see this through the storyline with the feather from his arrow Roland had given her reappearing in the ending of this season's first episode... The Savior, as well as from Regina seeing her Robin inside Wish Robin. Quite an incredible story arc for both Regina and the Evil Queen here in season six!! I am so, so happy that this episode has allowed for you to see and finally understand the purpose of this show's creators' and writers' reasons for bringing Robin back such as they have, as well as for having Regina split herself and the Evil Queen inside of her apart. All so that she can truly love herself and be at peace. And I am so happy that you have come to love their decisions to make these choices, and that you really love this episode for these reasons!! Also... The shears have made it possible for the Evil Queen to split herself from Regina so that she would have been able to kill Regina, without killing herself. And yet they make it possible for this happy ending for the both of them. Next... I also really love seeing Tinker Bell again, and I really the overall storyline within the backstory between Tink, Regina as the Evil Queen, and her father. Of course, the darkened Cupid's arrow would lead Regina to discovering that she hates herself the most. I can see how much so all throughout seasons one and two, and even in a number of the backstories within these past episodes. However, seeing Regina finally and truly come to see this for herself at last, is still a very powerful and heartbreaking moment for her. And I also love that Regina, during her battle against the Evil Queen, remembers back to this moment when she had seen herself in the reflection of the mirror's shattered glass. What an amazing moment, where Regina comes to understand what she must do in order to save everyone. As for Killian's and Emma's storyline throughout this episode... I feel so sad for Killian within this episode. It breaks my heart to see Killian so riddled by his guilt that is eating him up inside. Colin O'Donoghue does such a sensational job at showing just how much pain Killian is in because of his past coming back to haunt him so deeply and painfully. Unfortunately, Killian comes to the conclusion that simply burning away his memories of having killed David's father is the best option for him so that he can rid himself of his guilt. However, Emma catches him before he can burn the dreamcatcher that Killian put his memories from this dark moment into, and she becomes very angry with him. It makes sense that Emma would react hurt to him being willing to burn his memories so he wouldn't have to remember what he did to David's father, rather than by him coming to her to talk to her to help him through his own pain and guilt. However, I agree with you, that she really has no right to be so hurt either, given that she had kept her secret regarding her visions of her death from Killian and her family so long, and that she had never planned to tell them. Whereas Killian at least has been trying to tell Emma and her family. Despite him being so terrified of doing so. Especially terrified to have to confess the truth to David. His confession to Emma when he asks how it is he would be able to sit across from her parents without feeling so much guilt and pain from his past actions, is so heartbreaking to hear. And sadly... Their whole argument concludes with Emma sadly giving Killian back his engagement ring. Not as a sign of them breaking up, but to show that now is not the time for them to take this next step in their relationship. Of course, I understand this, and it is the right thing for them both to do so they can get their lives back on the right track. However, it's still just so sad. My heart breaks for the both of them. Finally... This story leads into great moments between Killian and Nemo, and especially another of my favorite moments within this incredible episode between Killian and Snow. Which I will come back to momentarily... Captain Nemo offers Killian two pieces of advice within this episode, both of which Killian regretfully ignores upon him making the decision to burn his memories of this painful moment in this life instead. I love Nemo's words to Killian. That he must choose to either tell Emma the truth and accept whatever his confession may lead to, or that he must learn to live with the guilt and find a way to forgive himself for his transgressions. And I absolutely love Nemo's line... "Guilt can be as corrosive to the soul as revenge." Such powerful words, and so true. About anyone. I absolutely love these scenes between Killian and Nemo. I really do love Killian's struggle in trying to figure out how to tell Emma the truth, and now with trying to rediscover himself so he can become the man Emma truly deserves, even though Emma truly loves him for who he is. And then comes one of my absolute favorite moments within this episode... I love, love, love how Snow finds Killian at the docks in the end as she's come in search of Emma. And she tells him how Regina has finally defeated the Evil Queen by helping her to find her happy ending as well. And I love how Snow then tells him that even the darkest souls can be saved because of love, and how she is so happy Emma has found love. And that the man her daughter has found love with, is him. So, so beautiful. Snow's love towards him and her words lead Killian to realize that leaving Storybrooke for any length of time is the wrong choice for him to make, after he had made the decision earlier to leave with Nemo aboard the Nautilus so that he could be away from everyone for a little while in order to try to find the good man he believes Emma deserves again. And he comes aboard the Nautilus to tell Nemo this, and to say goodbye to him and his younger brother, Liam. Unfortunately, Gideon choose this moment to make a reappearance, as he threatens Emma in front of Killian, then threatens Killian as well by marooning him aboard the Nautilus with Nemo, then sends him out of Storybrooke by forcing the ship to take off. Ugh!! Stupid Gideon! :( Honestly, Gideon bothers me as a character in the same way that Gold has been bothering me for some time now, because Gideon is just so back and forth, and wishy washy. And yet... I continue to absolutely love what's to come for Killian in these upcoming episodes. It's just so sad that Emma now believes that Killian has left her. And lastly... I also love the opening scene in the beginning, with Emma showing her mother Killian's engagement ring and revealing it to Regina and Zelena too. And I love the ending scene between Regina, the Evil Queen, Henry, Snow, and Zelena as well, and hearing Henry call the Evil Queen his mother before he sends her away. Overall... I really love this episode, because it's very powerful and emotional!! All of the scenes between Regina and the Evil Queen, as well as those between the Evil Queen and Robin upon her appearance within the Wish Realm, as she walks inside the tavern to meet the man with the lion tattoo, as is shown on Page 23. And the ending with Emma waiting up for Killian and then believing he left her, is so sad. Thank you once again, Dodo! I love this episode!! And I truly loved watching your reaction for it as well!! And now... I am excited for your reaction for the next episode coming up... Another of my absolute favorite episodes this season too!! Thank you, my dear friend!! Sincerely, Heidi

As a fellow Regina lover, I really enjoyed this episode, too - it's definitely one of my favourites this season (at least so far haha). I'm so happy with what they did with the EQ and Regina storyline. I wasn't a huge fan of the split (as much as I loved having the EQ back, I didn't want them to just kill her/get rid of her/delete her from Regina completely) when it first happened but now that I've seen how they dealt with it, I really enjoyed it. And I like darker Robin and the EQ together. Thanks for the reaction, can't wait for the next one! :)
