You're listening to Once, Episode 73, The Outsider Initial Reactions. Welcome back to another episode of Once podcast, the unofficial podcast about ABC's TV show Once Upon a Time.

We're sponsored in part by Simul TV. More on that

in a moment. I'm Daniel J. Lewis. And I'm Jenny. And we have just finished watching this episode of

Once Upon a Time. We watched it again. We're still in Las Vegas right now. So that's why our audio

quality is a little bit different. And our schedule has been a little bit different. This

episode goes out a little bit differently. But we just watched the outsider live here from Las Vegas

and wow, this was a good episode. I didn't expect it to turn out at all the way it turned out.

Yeah. There are a bunch of surprises in this episode.

Jenny, both you and I hadn't seen any kind of spoiler other than the title.

Yeah.

Now, I did actually see the spoiler of Rumpel Stoltzkin stepping across the line,

but it looked like I thought Bell was stepping across with him,

but it wasn't very clear. So that's the only thing I'd seen plus the title. And I was thinking

this was going to be about Neil. Yeah, me too. Yeah, we had a whole list of people who could be

possible outsiders.

But one of our listeners had suggested at one point, I think commented maybe on my blog post

when I learned the episode titles, but they said, well, maybe the outsider is Bell,

because she's kind of an outsider to people. And whoever that was, good job. You were right.

Bell was the outsider and a brave one at that. Well, Hook was also an outsider.

True. Yeah, so the outsider could have kind of been about either of them. But I think it was really

intended about Bell because it told Bell's extra story back

in Fairy Tale Land.
