Once Upon a Time 3x07 Recap







We are back in Storybrooke this week, and get to see what has been happening whilst the others have been in Neverland. Belle delivers the news that Henry has been kidnapped and Rumpel has left her with a cloaking spell as he has warned that other outsiders are coming to the town to look for magic. They cast the spell but not in time, two outsiders have made their way inside.
In Neverland, Rumpel instructs Ariel how to get to Storybrooke and to bring an object back that will defeat pan. He tells her to find Belle, she will know what to do with it. Regina gives Ariel her legs back for 24 hours in order to complete the task and then she will reunite her with Eric.

Pan orders Felix to instruct their friends on the ground (i.e. in Storybrooke to get ready). The two outsiders that have just come in, and have been instructed to make sure Ariel never leaves the town.

Neil tells the gang that the way he got off the island before was via the shadow, Emma, Neil and Hook head out to look for the shadow. Snow warns Emma to be careful with Neil and Hook as they both have feelings for her. On the road Hook praises Neil for being ok about the kiss with Emma, but he drops his foot in it when he realises she has not told Neil about it.

Ariel arrives in Storybrooke and immediately goes to look for Belle, who is down in the dumps as she thinks Rumpel doesn’t need her. Belle receives the message from Rumpel and is overjoyed to find he has found another way to kill Pan and return home. He tells her that she will find the hidden object with the strength of their love. The chipped teacup leads the way to the object, Pandora’s Box. The outsiders storm in tie them up and take the box.

Henry is growing suspicious of Pan, that he is hiding things from him and tries to find out what he is up to. He follows Felix, but it seems clear that they know Henry is following and lay traps for him. He meets Wendy, who claims Pan is keeping her away from the camp as she is sick. She tells him that she is getting sicker because the magic is fading.  

Snow is not talking to Charming after his deceit about the poison; Emma doesn’t think it is fair for her to blank him but Snow just ends up disagreeing with her. Snow and Charming argue on the way to Tinkerbell’s house but she tells him that she would live anywhere as long as she had him by her side.

Tensions are running high between the love triangle, Emma thanks Hook for telling them that Neil was alive. She correctly guesses that Pan would have made a deal with the information that Neil was alive, Hook tells her that he chose his friend s rather than being selfish. He tells her that he will win her heart and that she has to choose between him and Neil. He compliments her that he hasn’t seen her fail and so he is certain that she will rescue Henry.  

Back with Hook, Emma and Neil, the boys are being petty and trying to get one over on each other, they are ambushed by a load of shadows and Emma uses her magic to light the candle that captures the shadow and in doing so saves both Hook and Neil.
The outsiders are foiled by Belle and Ariel, but they tell them that Pan is keeping their sister prisoner and so they are doing his work in exchange for releasing their sister, Wendy. (the one in the other cage) the girls promise to save her too as well as Henry.

Ariel returns to Neverland with Pandora’s box, Regina keeps her word and gives Ariel her legs. Ariel relays the boy’s message, they must try and save Wendy also.

Emma addresses the elephant in the room, and gives the boys a dressing down over fighting. She tells Hook and Neil she wouldn’t choose either of them she chooses Henry as he is her only true love. They meet up with the others and Tink and they set off to rescue Henry.

Pan’s mind games seem to have worked on Henry and he agrees to try and save magic and go along with Pan. Pan tells him he has to travel to Skull Island to save them all and will require bravery and sacrifice, Henry agrees to take on the challenge.

Final Thoughts:

What will be inside the Skull?

Loving the dynamic Emma/Neil/Hook they are like schoolboys fighting over her.

Will Snow choose to go back to Storybrooke with Emma or stay with Charming? I predict some tearful farewells.


I liked the change from Neverland this week, it was good to have the split even though the more interesting characters are in Neverland.
