Once Upon A Time, S01E13
Anyway, at the beginning there are a few seconds of a stiff dinner between Kathryn and David before she tells him that she plans to move to Boston and go to law school. We know that she'll never make it out alive or unharmed, so that's never going to happen. Well, instead of telling his wife what his true feelings are, he lies and then goes out for a night stroll with MM. He wants her advice about what to do and has little plan of his own! God, get a spine, David! After he acts like a bitch, refusing to make up his mind, he tells MM that he chooses her and will tell Kathyrn the truth. Yay! Finally! ...Or so we thought.
Later, David goes to Kathyrn to break things off, but instead of being a decent person, he tries to be the "nice guy" and tell her that nothing is going on. The two of them just can't connect, and he doesn't know why. What?? David!! I'm starting to hate his weak ass! It's not as if Kathryn might not have understood, given that she saw that MM was falling for her husband months ago.
But I have to say that MM has been living in Naive Land. She tells Emma that she thought that she was being discreet with her secret relationship with David. Please! I'm sure everyone was simply pretending not to notice out of convenience. However, no one was looking the other way when Kathryn found out about the affair (thanks to Mayor Break-Hearts) and slaps MM right at school. Thanks to that she quickly becomes the town whore, complete with "TRAMP" painted on her car so that the 2 people in town that might not have heard will definitely know. David was "heroically" trying to wash it off before she gets there, but he should have been on his knees begging for her forgiveness! He just made excuses and hardly seemed apologetic for the scarlet letter MM now had on her back.
I wish I could have been sad when MM breaks it off with David. I felt bad that she felt like a foolish piece of crap, for about the second or third time. I suspect this time will be for good, or until David can become a man. I could stand for them to be apart for another 5 or so episodes, at least. Actually, I hope that something terrible happens to him because I'm sick of him hurting MM and his only punishment being that he's unhappy. He could stand to be more than that, as far as I'm concerned.
Concerning their alter lives, Prince Charming seems like a total different person. He's not a fraction of the asshole that David is. I would question they were the same person if that wouldn't be moronic. Anyway, we find out that Abigail isn't just a stuck-up bitch, but someone who, like Charming, also experienced a lost love. That was a nice twist because it allowed me to feel a little sympathy for her. Charming volunteers to save her love, Frederick, who has been turned into gold from Midas' touch. Seems like quite a thing to do for a woman he didn't care about, but his backup plan is to die on the mission. Guess that's all he can hope for if Snow isn't in his life.
Charming's encounter with the "beast" of the lake, was predictable. Don't ask me why, but I knew that a woman would come out of the water. I didn't expect it to take on the form of people he knew, nor did I think that he would be fooled for a second when it turned into Snow. How damn lonely is he that he has to make out with a lake demon just because it looked like Snow?? I was rolling my eyes at his stupidity. But I guess it wouldn't make for good TV if he defeated the beast too easily. He nearly drowned, but he was able to stab the thing before he ran out of breath. I kept wondering what the beast really looked like. I couldn't see while it was underwater. I guess it's not that important, though.
With the magic water, Frederick is brought back to life. I'm not sure how long it's been since he has been turned into gold, but I felt like he should had a huge need to pee or something. I dunno. I'm not familiar with the rules of turning into gold. It was a happy ending for Abigail and Frederick, but Charming still had to deal with the fact that his foster father was going to come after him.
And come after him he did! Is this kingdom really that poor that the king himself needs to come out and chase after people? Either that or the King was really pissed at him. This indicates that we won't see the happy ending for Snow and Charming for a while. Oh, well.
Regarding other things in this episode, Emma starts to learn more about the mysterious writer who came to town: August W. Booth. I don't like him for Emma, and we all know that's where it's going. He just seems like a fancy-free ass, doing whatever he pleases and turning people's judgments back against them. I'm a little prejudged because I miss the old sheriff. He's never coming back, but he was much cuter and his personality didn't bother me as much (despite he was doing the Mayor). They have drinks by the magic well, while he tries to get Emma to believe in magic and such. Eye roll. He's also seen earlier tampering with Henry's fairy tale book. Hmm... I wonder what pages he took out and put in?
I'm glad that Emma finds it a little more than strange (according to her face) that the book randomly showed up underneath her car. I hope that it doesn't turn out that Booth is working for the Mayor. I doubt it because she didn't seem like she wanted Henry to get the book back; she gave him a video game. So you'd rather your son play video games than read a book? Wow, lady. Who cares if you're trying to hide your secret, your parent methods are off.
At the very end we see that Kathryn doesn't make it out of Storybrook. Actually, the town should be renamed after a line Kathryn had: "If I Stay Here, I'll Never Be Happy" Town. The Frederick in the current lifetime finds her car (of course!), but Kathryn is missing. I can't imagine that she'll be found dead because it won't much add to the story. If she's alive, she can still give David a little hell while finding her true love. We'll just have to see.
This was a good episode, despite that I was angry at David through most of it. Things are getting pretty good.
