OUAT: Mean Girls Edition

Last time on “Once:” Mary Margaret and David did everything to stop the Queens of Darkness from raising Maleficent from being mostly dead. Of course, they failed. Meanwhile, Emma discovered Hook had a past with Ursula he was unwilling to discuss. Regina threatened Pinocchio for information about the book but then went to apologize to Marco for how she behaved. He helped her by giving her things he found with August’s motorcycle. In the Enchanted Forest, the Queens of Darkness enlist the Charmings’ help in asking Grandmother Willow the Tree of Wisdom for help in defeating Regina’s Dark Curse. But Snow’s pregnancy puts the kibosh on that. Later, Maleficent tells Snow she’s expecting too but Snow still refuses to help her. In Storybrooke, Mary Margaret confides in Regina that she and David did something that caused Maleficent to lose her baby. They then ask Regina to go undercover.

This can only end well, right?

(Well, that's ominous)

OUAT: Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun

Last time on “OUAT:” Storybrooke got back into a somewhat normal groove but Gold was about to disturb that. He got two of the Queens of Darkness back together and tricked Belle yet again. He gave her the translation for a spell to unleash the fairies…and Chernabog. With the demon terrorizing Storybrooke and possibly coming after Regina, she and Emma agree to work with Ursula and Cruella. Chernabog is defeated and they let the two into Storybrooke, over Mary Margaret and David’s protestations. They then let Gold into town, who says they need to resurrect Maleficent and keep an eye on Emma, who has potential to go dark. Meanwhile, Mary Margaret and David threaten Ursula and Cruella to stay quiet about some Dark!Secret! our heroes have. Also: not much movement on Operation Mongoose, Regina hasn’t heard from Robin, and the Queens of Darkness helped Rumple get the Dark Curse.

Nostalgia Nook: The Magic School Bus

A few months ago, 90s kids everywhere got a real thrill: Netflix announced it was reviving The Magic School Bus. A new generation would get to realize why Ms. Frizzle is the best teacher ever.

And maybe a Time Lord.

So why do we love her? Hop on the Magic School Bus and avoid the SPOILERS!

OUAT: Anyone Have a Giant Flyswatter?

Last time on “Once Upon a Time:” With the Snow Queen’s sacrifice, the Frozen arc was wrapped up as Anna, Kristoff and Elsa returned to Arendelle. Anna and Kristoff finally get married. Regina returned Marian’s heart and Robin had to choose. He chose Regina but when Marian collapsed, still icing over, Regina realized she had to leave Storybrooke to be healed. But she couldn’t go out alone as it was a one-way trip. Robin and Roland cross the town line with her as I yelled at my TV. Gold tried to cleave himself from his dagger by crushing Hook’s heart as Mary Margaret and Emma, tipped off by Anna, try to stop him. But it’s Belle who stops him, finally finding his real dagger. She orders him over the town line, banishing him. Gold finds his way to New York, where he discovers Ursula working at an aquarium. He tells her he has a plan.

Welcome back to Storybrooke!

Prince Charming: A Campy Fun Fairy Tale

So, I was considering doing this for a Nostalgia Nook as it came out in 2001. But I only watched it recently and wanted to save my Nostalgia Nooks for things that actually make me nostalgic. Since I post my Once Upon a Time recaps here and this does feature a cast member, I suppose this counts.

(I apologize for the quality of the screen caps. They're taken from YouTube.)
