conversation because we really want to get everyone involved in what this means for the show what are some

of the theories about this the reactions the fan reactions which are a lot of fan reactions there so we want

to give it that

respect of discussing it fully, and we'll be doing that then later on. So hold on to that.

Don't think that we're skipping it. Well, we are, but we're saving it for later on.

But let's start our discussion about this episode, the tearjerker that it is, in the past.

Realistically, this episode only had a few scenes in the past.

And it starts out with Bell and Neil in Rumpel Stoltskin's Castle.

And one of the beautiful things that came out here was what Bell was saying in this room.

Remember this. Remember episode skin deep from the first season and Bell in that room in the great hall there with

rumple stiltskin when they had their little talk and she said you're not a monster

and all of that it's in the same room now that Bell and Neil are when Bell says...

I love him.

All of him.

Even...

Even the parts that belong to the darkness.
