    Official ABC Recap & Pre Air info:


    We're back in The Enchanted Forest's past where we left off in the season 1 finale. Prince Charming and Snow White are together at last and determined to overthrow King George and The Evil Queen. But King George has hired a new, mysterious General for his army who people call "Leviathan", and he attacks their encampment. In the chaos of the battle, Snow and Charming are separated and she runs straight into the imposing new General, who reveals himself to be Lancelot, a disgraced Knight of The Round Table. He takes her before King George, who surreptitiously poisons her with a curse that suddenly makes her unable to conceive a child--the same curse that once afflicted his own beloved wife. He releases Snow, but Lancelot is unwilling to continue serving the King after what he's done. He stays with her, determined to make amends, as she travels to meet Charming at the secret cabin where they've hidden his mother.

    A squad of King George's soldiers tracks Prince Charming to the cabin. He valiantly defeats them all, but not before his mother is shot with a poisoned crossbow bolt. Snow White and Lancelot arrive just a moment too late. Desperate, they take Charming's mortally wounded mother to Lake Nostos, hoping its healing waters can save her. During the journey, Charming's mother discovers that Snow White has been cursed, and cheers her when she suggests the waters can probably help her, too. But when they arrive at the lake, they find it dry. It turns out that when Charming killed the Siren that protected the lake, he may have also doomed it. They find only a small shell's-worth of water, not enough to heal both women. Charming's mother insists that Snow take it, but Snow White won't hear of it. Lancelot gives the water to Prince Charming's mother, but it doesn't seem to be enough. As her last request, Snow White and Prince Charming are married by Lancelot, who has them drink from a special cup as part of the ceremony. As the two finish exchanging their vows, Charming's mother dies. Snow White helps her beloved Prince grieve, but discovers that her curse seems to have been lifted. Charming's mother only pretended to drink the water and had Lancelot slip it to Snow White so that one day she could have a child--a baby girl.



    In present, post-Curse Fairy Tale Land, Emma and Mary Margaret (Snow White) are trapped in a hole with Cora, who MM knows is as evil as they come. Cora says she only wants to help and Emma thinks it's worth a shot if it means getting back to Henry. Soon they are let out of their cell to meet the leader of the refugees, who turns out to be none other than Lancelot. Mary Margaret insists she has a way for her and Emma to get back home and convinces Lancelot to let them go. He agrees, but insists that they take Mulan, his finest warrior, as their guide. Unbeknownst to them, Aurora tags along as well, looking for vengeance for Phillip. She still blames Emma and Mary Margaret for bringing the Wraith who took his soul. She attacks Mary Margaret later that night, but this is the awesome warrior Snow White we're talking about here. She overwhelms Sleeping Beauty and begins to talk some sense into her when a gunshot rings out. Emma is there, trying to help, but all she's done is call down every ogre in a 5-mile radius. Sure enough, one attacks and it's Mary Margaret, who still knows her way around a bow and arrow it turns out, who takes the giant creature down, saving her daughter.

    The four women finally arrive at Snow White and Prince Charming's castle, which has seen better days. Emma and Mary Margaret enter the nursery, where baby Emma was sent out of this world and into ours, and they find the magic wardrobe that Geppetto once carved out of the last magical tree in The Enchanted Forest. Suddenly Lancelot appears, saying he followed after he heard about the ogre attack and that he was eager to help Emma get back to Henry. The only problem is, Emma never told Lancelot about Henry. Mary Margaret draws her sword and Cora reveals herself. She had killed the real Lancelot long ago and had been posing as him to control the others. She attacks Mary Margaret and Emma, making it clear that she wants the wardrobe for her own means of reaching Storybrooke and getting a reckoning with her daughter, Regina. To save Mary Margaret and prevent Cora from using the wardrobe, Emma lights it on fire. Mulan and Aurora join the fight and it's enough to scare Cora off for now. Mulan realizes they don't have a leader, and she nominates Mary Margaret. But as the four women depart, with the magic wardrobe burned to ash, Cora reappears and scoops some of the ashes into a vial. She's clearly not done with them.

    In Storybrooke, Henry is eager to help find his mom and Mary Margaret, but David (Prince Charming) wants him to stay safe and go to school. Henry's a bit like his mom, so instead he tracks down Jefferson (aka "The Mad Hatter"). He asks Jefferson some questions and gives him some very good advice about reconnecting with his daughter. Then Henry breaks into Regina's (The Evil Queen) office and steals her keys. He uses them to open her secret vault. He's about to uncover some VERY poisonous vipers when David appears to save him. David realizes he needs to spend some time connecting with his grandson. He buys them some wooden swords and promises to show him some moves. After all, he is the grandson of Prince Charming. And as the two practice their swordplay, District Attorney Spencer (King George) looks on menacingly. It seems that old grudge may have traveled to Storybrooke as well.

    Lady of the Lake Secrets Page

    After a quick recap of some of the highlights of the show and pointing out that there were a lot of 'Mom' moments in this episode, three 'secrets' are listed for our enjoyment:

    When Ruth, Prince Charming's mother, is mortally wounded, Charming suggests that they take her to Lake Nostos and give her some of its magical waters. Fans will remember this as the lake Prince Charming travels to in Episode 113: "What Happened to Frederick". In that episode, he used water from the lake to change Frederick back to a normal man after he had been accidentally turned to gold by King Midas.

    While at the lake, Prince Charming picks up a crown from the dry lakebed. It belonged to the Siren that guarded Lake Nostos. Unfortunately, it seems that when Charming killed her--it was totally self-defense!--the lake dried up.

    Time for another callback! The two-headed Agrabahn Viper that Henry finds in Regina's secret vault is the same venemous snake that The Genie used to kill King Leopold in Episode 111: "Fruit of the Poisonous Tree". No one can say Regina's not an animal lover.

    Finally, a little something for our literary fans. Didn't you guys get enough after all of that Shakespeare last week? Sheesh!

    Those who've read Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem about the Arthurian legend, The Lady of Shalott, may have recognized Lancelot's line "God, in his mercy, lend her grace."

    The curse was created that only the savior experiencing true love and true loves kiss could break 'The Curse'...i don't think its a one time thing...holding on to this kissing thing as I can totally see Charming getting upset someday if he ever finds out the 'secret' between Lance and SW!

    He did say he had true love with his wife. I will give that him saying they had true love doesn't mean they really did, but for argument's sake let's say he knew what he was talking about.

    I can come up with 2 reasons true love's kiss wouldn't break the curse.

    A) The curse is entirely internal so the kiss can't get to it - just like the gold blocked the kiss on Frederick, he can't kiss her uterus

    B) A much less gross and more plausible reason: Each woman knew how much family meant to their respective husbands and knowing they had been stricken caused them to doubt true love rendering the kiss ineffective.


    haha can't kiss her uterus...hmm but the sleeping curse was lifted...he didn't kiss her brain...

    I think Ruth unnecessarily sacrificed herself...

    i don't know hwo was responsible for that...don't think it was Rumple...but it could have been...what is obvious is that King George didn't have true love with his wife...

    So in The Sheperd ep, Rumple says that King George and his wife could not conceive.. In this ep we found out why not, she was cursed, so who thinks Rumple could be responsible for that..?

    I mean, he needed James to go to King George, so he could be replaced by Charming, and so he would fall in love with Snow.. What gave Rumple the oppertunity to make his TL potion..

    I caught that all the hearts were beating but I didn't give it a second thought because I needed to go back and see if we could hear them beating when she went to get Graham's heart. I didn't know if it was new or not

    Interesting observation came up on the OUAT Podcast blog...think worth mentioning here. I rewatched the part of the episode in question...and what is stated IS TRUE!!! Cool

    "Did magic cause all of the hearts in Regina's vault to beat again?" Shocked

    Did anyone catch the fact you could HEAR the hearts beating as Henry passed the vault of hearts? ...and, not just one either!!! NUMEROUS!!!

    Who do they belong to and was the vault initially Cora's...inherited by Regina? Assume "yes" to this question.

    Before the curse was 'broke' and magic was released...you never HEARD the hearts beating when someone was in the vault area. The one time I recall is when Regina retrieves Graham's heart OUT OF the drawer it was in. Before she crushed it...it was beating!

    Henry doesnt really acknowledge hearing them, per say...but, we-the audience-DO hear them!

    By design???!!!???

    ok...now add into the equation what I THINK happens in a future episode...WOW!!!

    gr8 question!...in a way, you'd have thought Mulan should have been able to tell the 'difference' in the mannerisms and actions of Lancelot.
    If she was his most trusted...you'd think they were good friends, as well.

    We'll have to see going forward...it sounds like this could be a long journey for the women in FTL.

    No I don't think Mulan is in on it. I really like her...she can lead she can follow she is intelligent and beautiful and can kick some ass. She also comes off as fair and a 'born leader' rather than a power monger. She is a very controlled type of individual with her mind ruling her actions rather than her heart...

    I think she met 'Cora' the first time she met Lance...don't think she ever met the real Lance...also I think Hook might be a potential ship for her...or Lance...but Lance is supposedly dead and he already fell for a woman...so who knows...haha

    Actually I take that back...i just rewatched and it definitely appears that Mulan DEFINITELY knew Lance...So i am wondering if perhaps Cora's powers really were gone when the Curse hit and once it was broken she got them back...

    She could be tricked into it or Cora could have twisted her into thinking it is the right thing like she tricked young Snow into talking about Daniel. I don't know. Something just isn't right with Aurora.

    I think they a giving Aurora room to grow/change as a character...

    but i could definitely see what you sayy that maybe Aurora gets tricked or 'seduced' into going along with Cora's plans...although I think Cora's main agenda right now is to get back to SB so she just might leave them alone for the time being...
