I was kind of "meh" on this episode. I find Rumple/Belle grating just because OMG girl are you st00pid? I was in it for every other character other than Rumple and Belle/Lacey.
God! I am so glad the Regina-finds-out moment finally happened and she gave the reaction she should have under the circumstances. They waited to have that moment when Rumple was feeling a little more vulnerable, I guess, so she could use it to make him feel more so.
Regina jumping to the conclusion that Emma was "hiding something" from her saying, "get nice before you lose Henry forever" was lazy plotting. That could have much more easily meant Henry will reject her for being a bee-yatch. But I guess that truth hasn't sunk in and may never sink in.
I was SO waiting for her to torch the whole field. That would end the exodus to FTL issue and set the stage for season 3 in Storybrooke.
Rumple seemed horrified by his dream of killing Henry, but one point of the episode was to shift away from nice guy and back towards the Dark One who'll do anything to hang onto his power. Even risk losing the son he worked so hard to find by killing his son's son? Hard to say. I suspect he will either (1) try and fail [family show, as you say] or (2) banish Henry to another realm, which will turn out to be Neverland for the season ender.
